Congratulations to our very own Manny Pacquiao! We are very proud of you after winning the match between Ricky Hatton on May 2, 2009 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada USA!

It looked like a sparring session only for Manny Pacquiao as he bombarded Ricky Hatton with lightning speed punches that knockout him and ended the fight in the second round.

Pacquiao took the first round easily from Hatton as he put down the Englishman twice. Pacquiao accurately gave out his jabs, hooks and straights in a precise way that it always connected.

Hatton is ineffective in this fight and his speed and strength didn’t match his offensive with Pacquiao. He is constantly clinching with Pacquiao but this didn’t stop the Pacman from connecting his accurate blows. It is clear that Hatton is rushing things up but the Pacman’s counterpunches are very potent.

Hatton went down the first time in the first round through a right hook. He got up but before the first round ended, he went down again.

The vicious left hook of Pacquiao impedes the incoming Hatton and cemented the Englishman in the canvas in the second round. The referee didn’t even bother to count, as Hatton’s body lay stiff straight in the floor as doctors rushed to examined him.

Referee Kenny Bayless declared the fight was over at 2:59 of the second round as Hatton was continually gasping for short heap of breath.

This gave Pacquiao a shot in the junior welterweight division and will surely strike fear on his opponents.

Pacquiao’s coach Freddie Roach predicted that the fight will not last more than three rounds, and indeed the fight was over before the second round ended.

This will be a very bitter blow over the fans of Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton, who were really rooting about their champion.

Manny only weighted 138 pounds compared to 140 pounds for Ricky and Manny Pacquiao with a record of 49-3-2, 37 knockouts earned $12 million for this fight, while Ricky Hatton 45-2 was paid $8 million.

It was also announced the comeback of Floyd Mayweather Jr. and this will surely be a much awaited fight if the negotiation will materialize.

Manny Pacquiao is considered the pound for pound best fighter in the world.

The much awaited boxing match of the year between Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao and Oscar “Golden Boy” De La Hoya will take stage this Saturday, December 6, 2008 (December 7, 2008 Sunday in Manila, Philippines) at the MGM Grand Las Vegas, Nevada U.S.

$100 Million is at stake at this welterweight bout and promises to be an explosive one since it has been announced months before and the whole Philippines’ boxing aficionados are really waiting to watch this fight.

Men, women, young and old are waiting for this event as Manny Pacquiao, considered as “Pambansang Kamao” or national punch or fist as I should say will test his boxing skill with the boxing veteran De La Hoya.

Many are skeptical and said that the fight is not that fair since De La Hoya has the height and reach advantage, plus the fact that they are from a different weight division. De La Hoya, who is 5’10” is taller by 4 inches and has a 6 inches advantage over Pacquiao. The advantage that many think is the age of the two boxers. Pacquiao is six younger at 29 and usually, age does matter in boxing in terms of agility and other criteria.

It is said that this will be the Golden Boy’s farewell fight and the biggest fight for Pacman. The division difference will have Pacquiao stack up until he reaches the 66.5 kilograms or 147 pounds needed and De La Hoya will sacrifice until he dropped to that weight.

Every Filipino is excited for this fight and everyone is hoping that our own will come out victorious in this bout!
