Pacquaio vs. Hatton Fight
So what is the verdict for this great fight scheduled for May 2, 2009? Who are you siding with or should I say, who do you think will win? This really is too close to call. They are both great fighters and they both have a super aggressive attitude once the bell rings. Their behavior kind of reminds me of two pit bulls who will be let loose on that day to fight. As far as I am concern, after doing additional research on both fighters, I feel tha this fight can go either way. One mistake on either side and it is over for that fighter. Manny's speed should give him an edge, however Ricky as mentioned in my previous blog has somewhat of a brawler attitude and I am sure that he will attempt to push his weight around in the ring.
Both have been training hard at their respective camps, Ricky in Vegas and Manny in California. In addition, Ricky has an outstanding trainer, none other than Floyd Mayweather Sr., and Manny with the great Freddie Roach. Only time will tell. If anyone has been watching the HBO series over the past two to three weeks, you will see that both of these find fighters are in top condition and these coaches have really been pushing their fighters to the limit in terms of endurance, stamina, toughness just to name a few qualities of a seasoned fighter.
However, it is something about Manny's humble attitude and beginnings that really make him stand out in my opinion. He always seem to be cool, calm, and collective. Yet, once he enters that ring, the beast is unleashed. If one has watched his earlier fights, one will be able to see that for the most part, Manny devestated his opponents. He did survive a few close calls, but believe me he will give his fans their money's worth. And that also goes for Ricky. A tough Irishman, and come to think of it, Manny has not fought anyone anyone on that side of the world. Pound for pound, they are definitely two of the best in their weight division. Anyway, on May 2, 2009, the victor of this fight will emerge as the best in their weight class. Now, I am wondering, will this bring out Floyd Mayweather Jr.? What do you think? Do you think that Floyd can defeat Manny? This will be a battle of the EAST MEETS THE WEST. Any comments or replies will greatly appreciated. SEE YOU THERE, FIGHT FANS!!!

Brawn vs.Brains
When Manny Pacquaio and Ricky Hatton meet next month, everyone will really see who is the best fighter. We all know that Ricky is a brawler and he definitely will attempt to exert all of himself on Manny once they enter the ring. However, I do not think that Ricky really knows Manny as well as he thinks that he does. Manny is tough, determined, strong, smart, and a crafty fighter. Ricky will soon find this out.
If Ricky has really look over some of Pacquaio's fights, he should be watching them again. Ricky will be fighting a beast of a champion. Manny has demolished most of his opponents in his forty plus fights. This young Phillippine fighter is no joke. Now, I am not taking anything away from Ricky as he also has his strong points, and is also pound for pound one of the better fighters in his weight division. One thing that I like about him is that he is aggressive, probably more so than Pacquaio and Ricky tries to establish his dominance in the ring early. And then from that point on, he is all over you like vultures over dead remains or bees on honey.
Another point about these two tough fighters is that neither one backs down. In viewing all of their fights, I continually see both of them zeroing in on their opponents as soon as the bell rings. Their aggression reminds me of two pit bulls coming towards each other and guess what, something must give. On that day in May, we will see who will be raising their gloves in victory and who will be either on the canvass or through their facial expressions, portraying the agony of defeat. Even the bookies will have a tough time deciding on this one. What do you think? Of course, this will be a tough fight for both fighters and they may both leave the ring bruised up. What the fans will be looking for is a good, tough fight that both of these fighters are accustomed to giving to their fans. No one wants this fight to end in the early rounds such as the old Mike Tyson fights. Many of Mike's fights were no contests. The audience will be looking for a well fought fight in each of the rounds and personally, I would like to see the fight go twelve rounds.
Ricky of course will represent the United Kingdom and Manny will represent the Phillippines. Who will take back the victory to their country, Manny or Ricky? You can bet the citizens from each country will be in Vegas. This will be an interesting night, the East versus West. What is your opinion? Please answer as I am looking for comments from someone. A boxing guru would be preferred, someone with the innate knowledge and as they say been there and done that.
This is not going to be as they say a "cakewalk" for neither fighter and they both know it. And this is why they are both preparing rigorously for this fight. The mental toughness of both fighters along with their physical abilities will be the deciding factors. Who is your choice? The "Brits" versus the "Pinoys". For me, this is too close to call, but I do know one thing. Whoever wins, will definitely be the king of that weight division. Floyd Mayweather, are you ready to return and get that "butt whipping' that you have miss, only because you have not fought the right boxer. Pacquiao and Hatton are waiting for you, just step on up. Are you ready? All comments and replies are highly encouraged. I will definitely see it next month on Pay for View. How about you?

Manny Pacquiao
For me, Manny Pacquiao is probably one of the best boxers during the past five years or so. He is tough, resilent, fast, powerful, and crafty just to name a few of his attributes. If you watch him fight, he reminds me of a younger, lighter Muhammed Ali. The biggest difference is that he is not cocky like the old Muhammed Ali. He truly represents the Philippines as one of their best boxers and pound for pound.
Ask the top three Mexicans that he literally destroyed. First, there was Marco Antonio Barerra, the invincible one. Once Barerra was knocked down by Manny in the first round three times, I am sure at that instant, he said to himself, "what have I gotten myself into?" Then there was Eric Morales, another tough Mexican, but like Barerra, he had not met Mr. Pacman. And that last Pacquiao-Barerra fight devestated Morales. It seened in that fight when he was sitting on the canvas looking up at Manny after he was knocked down again, he probably said to himself, "No Mas". And finally, there was Juan Manuel. As far as I am concerned, he was tougher than either Barerra or Morales, but just not quite good enough to win the victory over Manny. He really gave Manny a tough time, but like I said, he was fighting a Pacman. (smile) Manny was no joke in those fights with those three. In fact, where do you think he got the name, "The Mexican Assassin". One lean and mean Phillippine boxer.
And now, he will fight Ricky Hatton out of England. I will admit Ricky is tough and Manny knows that he will have to fight this brawler a different way. Because, I am sure that Ricky is going to try and throw his weight around and brawl with Manny. Manny is too smart for that. Anyway, I think that Manny will win and he just might destroy Ricky the same way he did the Mexican Assassin group. Time will tell and I will definitely be watching the fight on May 2. Any comments on this upcoming fight ? See you there!!
