The Filipino pride Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao was once again successful in his recent match against the African Joshua “The Grand Master” Clottey as they showcased a classic fight last March 13, 2010 at the Cowboy Stadium at Texas. The fight was for the World Boxing Organization Welterweight Belt of the Filipino. Clottey, who was impressive in terms of his defense lost via unanimous decision.

As the fight starts, Manny Pacquaio already began to establish his presence into the ring by throwing power punches at his opponent Joshua Clottey. Joshua Clottey however managed to deflect these bombs using his familiar peak-a-boo style (also termed as turtle guard or high guard). Because of this tight defense, the Pacman tried to focus on hitting the body of Clottey and was doing very god until the end of the fight. Pacquiao managed to connect one right straight in the first round that staggered Clottey a bit. In the following rounds, Clottey tries to throw punches and sometimes connects to the face of his Filipino adversary but Manny Pacquaio was all over Clottey for the whole 12 rounds of boxing. Near the end of the 11^th round, Manny Pacquiao finally managed to break the guard of the Clottey and there he rocked him with his lightning fast combinations. In the 4^th round of the match, Manny Pacquaio got warning for using his both fists in trying to penetrate the tight guard of the African. Nonetheless, when the hitting match was over and the fight went to the score cards of the three judges, the scores were 120-108, 119-109, and 119-109. That means that in the entire fight, the African only got a lead in just one round and the rest was all for Manny Pacquiao.

Many were expecting that Manny Pacquiao will knock Clottey out but they were wronged. However, the win on what was said to be Pacquiao’s first legitimate fight as a welterweight proves that he has what it takes to move to a higher weight class. In a related manner, when asked about the possibility of the Pacquaio-Mayweather fight, the Filipino champion made a bold statement by saying that he wants that fight. This is a clear issuance of a challenge of the present pound-for-pound king to the former owner of that title. If Floyd Mayweather wins against Shane Mosley, the most talked about fight might as well push through.

Shaquille O’Neal will star in a TV series where the NBA center will challenge top athletes such as Michael Phelps in their respective sports.

During one episode of “Shaq Vs.,” which debuts on Aug. 18 on ABC, Shaq will swim against Olympic superstar Phelps.

O’Neal, now with the Cleveland Cavaliers, also will try his football skills against Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, box retired world champion Oscar De La Hoya, bat against St. Louis slugger Albert Pujols, trade tennis volleys with Wimbledon champ Serena Williams and play volleyball against Olympic gold medalists Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor.

O’Neal will negotiate a handicap with his opponents and train with a coach for one week leading up to each challenge.

“These athletes may be on top of their game, but I am up for the challenge,” O’Neal said. “I plan to train hard and win, so look out.”

O’Neal came up with the idea for the competition as a way of training for the upcoming season.

His first opponent will be Roethlisberger, the Steelers’ Super Bowl-winning QB. They’ll compete in a 7-on-7 passing drill to be filmed later this week in the Pittsburgh area. Also, there will be a news conference leading up to the event as well as before future challenges.

A four-time NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat, O’Neal was traded from Phoenix to Cleveland last month. The 37-year-old has just one season left on his contract but said he wants to play three more years and is hoping he can help Cleveland superstar LeBron James win his first league title.

It has been tradition that “appetizers” are served before the main course or meal. In boxing, same principle is applied and under card fights are prepared before unveiling the main event to give the people a good show.

In the upcoming Light Welter Weight title match of the reigning pound-for-pound king Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao and the Light Welter Weight Champion Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton on May 2, 2009 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, a total of 10 under card matches will be ventured before the main event will commence.

After these events, finally the main event will commence. It will be sure a long wait but it is all worth it because the fights before the main bout will be showcasing the future of today’s world boxing realm.

Ricky Hatton has Manny Pacquiao all figured out.

The British banger said in a recent teleconference call that while admitting that Manny Pacquiao is tricky ,the Filipino lefty has a number of great flaws that he and trainer Floyd May weather Sr. will exploit come fight night on May 2 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

“I think I’ve got to be careful, because he (Pacquiao) shuffles in and out with his feet and he tries to outbox you on some punches”. Hatton told fight writers from his training camp in Manchester.

“So you’ve got to be clever and not fall for the top, if you like”

Hatton, a 2-1 underdog, noted that Pacquiao’s daredevil attitude on top of the ring, will not wonders this time.

“Because he’s (Pacquiao) saw aggressive, he sometimes gambles with every punch. He puts everything he’s got into that left cross and he drills the whole right back. I think if you can make him miss, I think sometimes he puts that much into his punch. I think if you can make him miss, he’s very open and he’s off balance, and along with my head move and my hand speed my foot work, and everything will work.

And now, if he misses, he’s going to have some big shots waiting for him and also, I’m going to be the biggest man that he’s ever fought. He fought Oscar De La Hoya, but Oscar was 147. I’ll be in the ring at 154. And in the past, he’s been put down several times with body shots; he’s been shaken up to the head. He’s the pound for pound best fighter in the world. If you look at it from that point of view and you’re asking me why I think I will win the fight, obviously those are the reason. “said the Hitman.

This was also the belief of one of former world champion Barry McGuigan, one of the finest fighters to have come out of the United Kingdom, in his column in the Daily Mirror.

“Pacquiao is a force of nature. But he is unproven at this weight,” wrote McGuigan, who held the World Boxing Association feather-weight crown in the mid – 1980’s and who now resides in London.

“Apart from one assignment at light weight against David Diaz and the Oscar De La Hoya bout at welter, he (Pacquiao) has not fought above 130 Lbs.

“Diaz was the weakest of the champion at 135 Lbs and does not cut a patch on Hatton. De La Hoya turned out to be little more than a carcass,” McGuigan said.

But no matter what it’s really true that Pacquiao is the pride of many Filipinos here and abroad.
