Disappointment has been the reaction of people when the much anticipated fight between Manny Pacquaio and Floyd Mayweather did not push through because of major problems with the fight contract. However, with this opportunity seemingly disappearing, another great finale for boxing fans out there is set to go as the pound for pound king Manny Pacquaio is scheduled to exchange punches with Antonio Margarito in their contest for the vacant WBO Super Welterweight Championship on November 13, 2010 at Cowboy Stadium. The fight was arranged after the dismissal of the possibility of the match between Pacquaio and Mayweather.

All eyes are again reverted on this match as many speculations have been made. There are lots of issues that surround this fight and make the atmosphere more intense. First, even if Pacquaio (51-3-2 38 KO) is known to have gained belts in 7 different weight divisions, this next fight is a different story as he is climbing to the super welterweight class and it is expected that as he gain that much wait, his movements will eventually be slower than before. Margarito (38-6 27 KO) on the other hand is being still being haunted by news about his dirty fighting style especially with what happened in his bout with Miguel Cotto. Actually, the fact of the matter is that these two fighters will be fighting in that weight class for the first time. As for their qualifications, there can be no questions about it. Manny Pacquaio is still considered to be the best pound for pound boxer in the world and Antonio Margarito is ranked number 1 by the World Boxing Organization. Big stakes are up for garb for this fight and whoever wins this fight will make history especially with the rumors that this will be the last fight of the Filipino Champion.

If Manny Pacquaio wins this contest, he will be the first and the only boxer to ever have eight championships in eight different weight divisions. This is a record that will surely bring him to the hall of fame of boxers. As for Antonio Margarito, if he wins, this could be his fourth world championship but more importantly, he will be the first to defeat Pacquaio after his lost to Erik Morales of Mexico during his featherweight days. This will surely be an intense fight as both slugger punchers are ready to engage in a fight at any given point of time.

Sports are not just a random area where you can play at random too. When we say play at random, we refer to just proceeding to playing a game without even seeing if you are equipped with the proper equipments. You must remember that in sports, you are risking your health and life and your body and so it is important that you be equipped with proper sports equipment because it will help to lessen the risks of you getting hurt so badly. The equipment would include helmets, ankle protectors and the like. You must have these things before playing a game.

Two of the most sought after games today are basketball and football. It is important to see that these two games are physical games and being hurt so badly has high percentage. That is the reason why you should have proper basketball equipment and football equipment. These things will help you to have lower chances of risking being hurt too much. I am sure that you have fun as your main objective in playing sports and not being hurt and so it is very important to have these things before you engage in playing such physical games. Your safety should always come first.

Guns are very dangerous things. They can injure you or worst kill you in an instant. It has been commonly related to violence and killings. However, there is too much yet for us to learn about this kind of thing. One good thing that we should know about it is that everyone can have it provided that it has proper documents and license. In fact, it is being used for sports like shooting sports. With that said, it is important that guns used for these purposes are kept in tiptop condition. You should see to it that your gun parts are hundred percent okay and they are fully operational for they are to be used in the field of sports.

Have you ever heard of AR15 Magazines? Of course, these are containing bullets specifically to be used by the mentioned firearm, the AR15. These are things that you should give a close look together with reloading supplies if you are involved in such sport event. That way, you will not experience things like having defective guns during an actual shooting contest and the like. In the first place, it is always a good start to keep your tools in great shape before going into any contest, right?

Who says that guns are just for violence and killings? This is a wrong idea or thought for if guns are used properly, they can be used to have fun and excitement as in gaming competitions where it can be used. Just always remember that if you want to have a gun, make sure that it is licensed and above all, make sure that you have them for safety and other good purposes like sporting. Do not own a gun having the thoughts of killing someone. Just think of something good and do not use such dangerous things to cause some serious damage on someone.

Have you ever seen movies like Rocky, Driven, Blood Sport and Fast and Furious? What do you notice about these movies? You may not see these but the thing that is common in all of these movies is the fact that the actors that have starred on these movies played the role of being a sports figure. What’s great about these movies is that they teach us the different values that sportsmen should have or possess particularly the perseverance to do whatever it takes to win their respective battles. Most Hollywood Stars are fit to play this role because probably they are endowed with the physical attributes to do so.

Hollywood stars like Sylvester Stallone and Jean Claude Van Damme made a great impact in playing the roles of sportsmen. Of course, who will ever forget the braveness, toughness and winning skills of Rocky Balboa in the movie entitled the same as the name? The actor in there played the role of an ordinary boxer who was given the break to fight the heavyweight champion and eventually won the title. In the movie Driven and Fast and Furious, the protagonists are racers and racing is also a sport, right? In the movie Blood Sport, Van Damme played the role of a martial artist and this is also a kind of sport that is now being slowly recognized by more and more people. This is a proof that even in movies; sport is really something that is great.

Watching these movies give us immense inspiration to attain our goals in the same passion that the protagonists have done it. We just have to take the lessons being given by these movies seriously and try to make them a part of our selves. That way, we will be able to be successful in our endeavors.

Mayweather Marquez 24/7 Episode #2 (HBO)

LAS VEGAS – While Floyd Mayweather Jr. scorned their fight’s promoter and his uncle Roger ripped every other boxing trainer in the world, Juan Manuel Marquez made the biggest statement of fight week so far when he took the podium on Wednesday and spoke in clear, confident English.

Marquez is a major underdog in Saturday’s comeback fight for the unbeaten Mayweather, yet the longest odds of the Mexican three-division champion’s career don’t seem to shake his growing confidence, both in front of cameras and in the ring. Although Marquez is solidly bilingual, he has rarely used English in public until recently.

“I feel as good and happy as I can,” Marquez said. “I always put forth the effort, and now I see the reward. I don’t want to be the Mexican No. 1 fighter. I want to be the global No. 1.”

With a huge payday awaiting him after the highest-profile bout of his career, Marquez (50-4-1, 37 KOs) might feel he has validation in a tumultuous career that has included frustrations and triumphs in almost equal numbers – most notably his failure to win two agonizingly close fights against Manny Pacquiao.

Marquez has spent much of his career with a chip on his shoulder from those bouts, which propelled him in strange directions. After famously turning down a $750,000 rematch for his 2004 draw against Pacquiao because he felt insulted, Marquez ended up traveling to Indonesia to fight for $30,000 against Chris John, who claimed Marquez’s 126-pound (57-kilogram) title with a hometown decision.

Now, John is fighting on Marquez’s undercard at the MGM Grand Garden.

“He’s had some tremendous knockout fights, and he’s just beginning,” Oscar De La Hoya said of the 36-year-old Marquez. “He’s just getting started. We haven’t even seen everything Juan Manuel Marquez is capable of doing, and (Mayweather) is about to find out.”

Although Marquez is widely respected, he’s never even been considered Mexico’s greatest active fighter until the past few years. Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera were quicker to fill the vacuum created by Julio Cesar Chavez’s decline, but Marquez has proved to be the best and most enduring of the trio.
