FINALLY PACQUIAO VS MAYWEATHER MATCH IS ON

Finally the match that we've been waiting for between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. is on, the date, March 13.

The fight is indeed happening as the pound for pound champ Manny Pacquiao agreed on the March 13 date in what is seen as the fight of the century.

Pacquiao met with Bob Arum recently in Manila and reportedly agreed in principle the terms laid down by Mayweather's camp.

Pacquiao did asked for some requirements which Arum believed won't hinder the negotiations, ike the type of gloves to be used.

Michael Koncz, Pacquiao's Canadian adviser, said that even though no contract has been signed yet the fight is a "done deal."

The fight would be at 147 pounds for Pacquiao's WBO welterweight title, which he won in November with an impressive 12th round stoppage of Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas.

The bout could be the richest ever assuming projections are accurate. Pacquiao's fight against Cotto sld 1.25 million pay-per-views, while Mayweather's comeback victory over Juan Manuel Marquez in SEptember did 1.05 million.

PACQUIAO DEFEATS COTTO IN 12

It was a quite day yesterday November 15, 2009. There were no traffics, not much people at the streets or supermarkets. Almost all people was watching in their TV for Manny Pacquiao's fight against Miguel Cotto. And once the fight began I can hear yells from our neighbors house, since all of them are watching the fight too, and cheering for the pound for pound king. I never imagine Manny Pacquiao to dominate Cotto yesterday, since plenty of analyst said that this will be a fierce battle. Fierce indeed, but only on the first half of the fight, but as the fight goes on, you just can see how dominating Manny Pacquiao was.

Pacquiao used his speed and power from both his hands to win his seventh title in seven wieght classes and cement his stature as the best pound for pound fighter in the world. Cotto took such beating that he was force to back pedal and not engage Pacquiao. Cotto's face was a mess with river of blood flowing on his face from the fury of punches from Pacquiao.

Pacquiao manage to dropped Cotto in the 3rd round but Cotto wasn't badly and manage to come back strong to finish the round. But after Pacquiao drop Cotto again with a big left on the forth round, it was their that Cotto wasn't the same again.

Cotto on the later rounds was just trying to survive as blood flowed down his face as the "Pacman" kept coming at him relentlessly.

Referee Kenny Bayles stopped the fight after seeing Cotto being pummeled by Pacquiao at the ropes.

"Miguel Cotto is one tough opponent. He took a lot of punches but still wouldn't go down that easily," said Pacquiao after the fight.

Pacquiao collected his 7th world title with the win getting Cotto's WBO(World Boxing Organization) welterweight crown and the diamond studded WBC(World Boxing Council) Diamond Belt, an honorary championship given to elite boxers.

SILVA KNOCKS OUT GRIFFIN

Of all the fights in UFC 101 this match is what I was waiting for, well its because of Anderson Silva, probably the best pound for pound fighter in mixed martial arts, and it just proves how great he is after demolishing Forrest Griffin in the first round of their non-title match. Griffin is a fine athlete a former champion in UFC but Silva was just a too much. So dominating was Silva that after knocking Griffin, Silva waved him in, after docking several punches from Griffin, Silva knocked griffin again and then to add insult to injury( i don't know if it was a good gesture by Silva??). He helped Griffin up and this time Silva lowered his hand as if to invite Griffin to attack, as Griffin attacked Silva, Silva just evaded Griffin's attacked by dodging it using head movement, then knocked Griffin out again with a right jab. Ending the match at 3 minutes and 23 seconds.

"I want to fight against the best," Silva said when asked after the fight if he'd continue competing as a middleweight or light heavyweight. "Whoever the best is at the time, that's who I want to fight."

BERNARD HOPKINS: PACQUIAO WILL WIN

Bernard Hopkins, a future Hall of Famer, does not see Miguel Cotto defeating Manny Pacquiao. The two will clash on November 14 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Hopkins said that Cotto will be coming strong in strong during the fight but states that Pacquiao is a "sharpshooter" who punches in angles.

"He is a legitimate pound for pound fighter now until something else happens" Hopkins added of the power punching Filipino boxer.

Hopkins assessed that it is going to be Pacquiao who come out the winner come fight night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
