Bro, super featherweight lang si idol manny natin....may lightweight at junior welterweight pa before welterweight, so i guess it's very unlikely that pacman will match up against the great floyd mayweather... anyway... CONGRATS IDOL, THE BEST KA TALAGA!!! NGAYON SIGURO TATAMEME NA MGA ANTI-MANNY DYAN... so naniniwala na kayo ngayon na eric cannot match up with manny at 130 pounds!!!!

Rants About Watching Live (watched @ Cuneta Astrodome):

1. BAWAL BUMATI!!! Walang ginawa si Chino at Quinito kundi batiin ang lahat ng kakilala nilang nagtetext sa kanila! Di na nagplay by play sa laban ni Torres at Arnoutis!.. Sana sa susunod yung Americam commentators na lang.

 

2. BAWAL POLITICS!!! In between bouts na lang, nirereplay ang messages ng congressman, mayor at buong konseho ng Pasay! Gusto ko nang sumigaw ng.. "Hindi ako botante dito!!!"

 

Congrats again Manny!!!

Bawal din wrestler sa corner! Kahit si Batista pa!.. Dati si Undertaker at Christian sinabayan si Manny sa fighter entrance, natalo sya.. Ngayon si Mysterio, talo si Morales.

NKATSAMBA LANG SI PACQUIAO

 

pre, patingin ka sa doktor.. baka nabulag ka lang o kaya nananaginip...

[nashty]

NKATSAMBA LANG SI PACQUIAO

 

talo sa pusta? i beg to differ.. maganda talaga kundisyon ni manny sa laban. kung chamba lang yun, sana hindi mismo si morales ang umayaw. keep in mind that morales's corner even told him to get up pero ayaw na niya kasi alam niya mabubugbog lang siya.

[dantederamos]

NKATSAMBA LANG SI PACQUIAO

 

BRO, IBANG LABAN YATA NAPANOOD MO.

PACMAN, YOU THE MAN!!!!!!!!!

[clubber_lang]

Barrera up next?

 

Well, that might be another trilogy waiting to unfurl. Meaning PacMan must lose so a third match would happen...

 

Let the match-fixing begin... BOO!

Pacquiao destroys Morales in 3

 

 

 

 

 

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Manny Pacquiao finished this trilogy with the flair befitting a movie star, knocking down Erik Morales three times on the way to a third-round knockout victory Saturday night in the super featherweights’ third meeting in 20 months.

 

 

Pacquiao (43-3-2, 33 KOs), the Filipino phenomenon known for his excesses of punching power and courage, might have knocked Mexico’s Morales (48-5) into retirement in a fight that was every bit as thrilling as their first two meetings – even if it didn’t last nearly as long.

 

Both fighters came out with heedless aggression, and Pacquiao first knocked Morales down against the ropes late in the second round. Morales kept returning shots, but couldn’t keep up with Pacquiao’s pace – and after a knockdown midway through the third, Pacquiao finished him with a devastating left hook with just 3 seconds left.

 

"He was coming to me, and he was not able to handle me," Pacquiao said. "I felt so much stronger than him. I was prepared to fight the best of Morales."

 

Morales sat up after the final blows, but disconsolately shook his head at his trainer-father, Jose, in his corner – and Pacquiao celebrated another dynamic victory over the only man to beat him since 1999. Afterward, Morales acknowledged he might be finished after 52 brutal fights, including four losses in his last five.

 

"For the first time in my career, I actually felt the power of an opponent like I’ve never felt it before," said Morales, who also lost two of three fights in his previous trilogy against Marco Antonio Barrera.

 

"I was hurt by the power of his punches, and maybe it’s time to think about not doing this anymore. I had a great career. Maybe it is time."

 

Thousands of Filipino fans at the sold-out Thomas and Mack Center chanted Pacquiao’s name, worshipping their native megastar of film, music and endorsements – and don’t forget boxing, where he belongs among the world’s top handful of pound-for-pound fighters.

 

The fighters split their first two meetings in the previous two years, with Morales winning a unanimous decision and Pacquiao replying with a TKO victory over "El Terrible" last March.

 

Their rivalry became one of boxing’s better trilogies in recent years, with both punch-addicted brawlers dazzling casual fans and building rabid followings in their native lands.

 

Pacquiao opened the third fight with a blistering series of combinations, and he only slowed down when Morales replied with tenacious jabs. But Pacquiao’s momentum was overwhelming, and he had no shortage of ways to hurt his old foe.

 

"I was faster and bigger than him," Pacquiao said. "I could tell in the second round he was surprised by my right hook."

 

Pacquiao threw 175 punches in those 9 minutes, landing 54 percent – including 51 of his 71 power shots in the third round alone.

 

Morales landed just 26 percent of his punches.

 

"He was too fast and too strong," said Morales, who sat speechless in his corner for 5 minutes afterward. "I did everything in camp necessary to win this fight. I didn’t win it. It wasn’t my night."

 

Though both fighters have only middling profiles in the United States, each of their three pairings has been an international incident.

 

Television sets from Manila to Mexico City were tuned in to the pay-per-view telecast of a fight pitting perhaps the Philippines’ most famous person against one of the toughest fighters in Mexico’s long line of famed brawlers.

 

Thousands of Filipino fans traveled halfway across the world to Las Vegas for the fight, while thousands more came up from Mexico and Southern California to support Morales. The crowd of 18,276 was the second biggest in the arena’s history – and a measure of the fighters’ love in this fight-crazy town, where several closed-circuit broadcasts were opened as well.

 

Morales won their first bout in March 2005, stunning and bloodying Pacquiao – but Pacquiao battered Morales repeatedly last January, bruising his face and body before dropping him twice in the 10th round for the first TKO loss of Morales’ career.

 

Pacquiao, who gained 15 pounds (6.8 kilograms) after making weight Friday at 129 pounds (58.5 kilograms), was guaranteed million for the match. Morales will get at least .75 million (euro2.15 million).

Brewing tug-of-war over Pacquiao

 

Arum bares new 4-year pact

 

By Francis Ochoa

Inquirer

Last updated 01:34am (Mla time) 11/20/2006

 

Published on page A33 of the November 20, 2006 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer

 

LAS VEGAS -- Going by Bob Arum’s version of it all, Manny Pacquiao was not exactly himself when he signed the contract with Oscar De La Hoya’s promotional outfit.

 

So he was more than willing to forget the little episode after Arum’s Top Rank announced Saturday night at the Thomas & Mack Center that it had won the rights to promote the Filipino ring icon for the next four years.

 

“Top Rank promotions is pleased to announce that Top Rank and MP Promotions has signed a contract to promote Manny Pacquiao’s fights for the next four years,” Arum told journalists during the post-fight conference after Pacquiao knocked out Erik Morales to win the final chapter of their compelling rivalry.

 

The announcement, which caught everyone flat-footed, trumps the seven-fight contract Pacquiao reportedly had inked with De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions when the General Santos City native arrived in the United States last September to train for the Morales bout.

 

De La Hoya claimed to have shelled out $500,000 as some sort of a signing bonus for Pacquiao. The Pacquiao camp had issued a check of that same amount as a refund to Golden Boy.

 

Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Productions, however, reportedly refused to accept the check.

 

“The original contract for this fight between Manny Pacquiao and Top Rank prevented Manny from signing a contract with other promoters,” Arum said.

 

Pacquiao, though, signed a contract with De La Hoya’s company without Arum’s knowledge, and when news of the partnership broke, Arum went livid.

 

But the veteran promoter showed supreme confidence in the run-up to the fight and was quoted as saying that Pacquiao’s next bout would be under Top Rank.

 

Pacquiao refused to comment on the contract controversy, saying he wants to “just spend time with my family and countrymen and celebrate my victory.”

 

But Arum disclosed how the deal was signed.

 

“He got off the plane when he got to the US and he signed another contract with another promotion and received money [for signing],” said Arum.

 

“He has since renounced that signing and returned the money.”

 

The announcement came as a huge surprise in the boxing community, which had consigned itself to the notion that Pacquiao would be a Golden Boy fighter after the Morales fight.

 

In fact, talk was rife about a rematch against Marco Antonio Barrera in March next year. Barrera belongs to the Golden Boy stable.

 

With the latest development, the Barrera rematch is expected to be placed in the freezer in the meantime.
