Pacquiao bout winner to face Barrera for title

By Abac Cordero

The Philippine Star 11/03/2006

 

Marco Antonio Barrera must be smelling a Manny Pacquiao victory over Erik Morales later this month that this early, the reigning WBC champion has marked the date for his projected rematch with the Filipino ring gladiator.

 

Barrera, holder of the World Boxing Council 130 lbs. title, reportedly met with his brother Jorge and adviser Roberto Diaz the other day, and they have agreed that the awaited rematch with Pacquiao should come on March 11 next year.

 

Barrera lost to Pacquiao by way of an 11th round knockout when they first met on Nov. 16, 2003 in San Antonio, Texas. Almost written off after the loss, the Mexican assassin picked up the pieces, scoring a string of victories that gave him back the world crown.

 

Barrera has long waited or evaded a rematch with the punching machine from Mindanao. But the time has come and, granting that Pacquiao beats Morales on Nov. 18, in Las Vegas, the rematch is bound to happen early next year.

 

Jose Sulaiman, the WBC president, presided over the 44th annual convention of the boxing body in Croatia last Wednesday, and among the important matters discussed and decided were the mandatory title defenses in the different weight classes.

 

The WBC announced that the coming fight between Pacquiao and Morales, who are dead even at 1-1, will serve as the final eliminator to determine the official challenger for Barrera.

 

Pacquiao is currently the No. 1 contender, and Morales the No. 2. In case they both fail to accept the Barrera fight, it will be No. 3 Humberto Soto of Mexico who’ll be taking a shot at the world crown.

 

Barrera and Morales have already fought thrice, with the former sealing a 2-1 edge in the form of a 12-round decision on Nov. 27, 2004 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It was a classic series that many boxing fans had hoped would never end.

 

But the question is if Morales would still agree to fight Barrera at 130 lbs if the former three-time world champion gets by Pacquiao at the Thomas and Mack Center barely two weeks from now.

 

Barrera looks more interested in fighting Pacquiao that he has already mapped out his training schedule.

 

It should begin next month with long runs inside the forest of Jalisco, and by January he’d be moving to the Big Bear camp in California for a 45-day regimen.

 

While Pacquiao and Morales caught the fans glued on their rivalry, Barrera, the champion, was forced to take on lesser opponents, and in the process earning lesser than the two former champions. A fight with Pacquiao would land Barrera a huge paycheck.

 

Pacquiao and Morales will receive no less than $3 million each for their coming showdown dubbed "The Grand Finale."

 

Both Pacquiao and Barrera are now under Oscar dela Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, and it wouldn’t be hard to set up a rematch especially if the Filipino wins over Morales. The date, however, may be an issue since March 11 would be too close to Pacquiao’s coming fight.

 

A rematch between Pacquiao and Barrera will also open the doors to a possible third match in case the heads-on showdown is squared. If this happens, it could even be bigger than Pacquiao-Morales because in this showdown the world title will be at stake.

Pacquiao in delicate phase of training

 

 

 

By NICK GIONGCO

 

MANNY PACQUIAO has entered the most delicate phase of his training and trainer Freddie Roach “will push him harder” next week as the final countdown begins for the Filipino southpaw’s Nov. 18 rubber match with Erik Morales.

 

 

Roach revealed yesterday that "Manny had another great day sparring on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila)" against three different sparring partners for a total of 12 rounds at the Wild Card Boxing Club where Roach has been holding workouts behind closed doors.

 

"Only those who have business staying with Manny are allowed to stay when Manny trains," Roach said yesterday after supervising another Pacquiao training session.

 

"We did five rounds with the mitts today and tomorrow we are going to spar again for another 12 rounds," said Roach, a former contender from Boston on whose shoulders also lie the big responsibility of making sure Pacquiao is in awesome shape for the scheduled 12-rounder at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas.

 

The Team Pacquiao is planning to travel to Las Vegas on Nov. 12, a Sunday, instead of the usual Monday before the fight.

 

"We usually travel the Monday before the fight, but since Monday falls on a 13th, Manny said we’ll just go on Sunday. Manny’s kinda superstitious," added Roach.

 

Last week, there were reports that Pacquiao would head for Las Vegas on Nov. 14. In Sin City, Pacquiao will train at a well-equipped facility inside the IBA compound just a few blocks from the famed Strip.

 

Whenever Pacquiao fights in Vegas, he works out at this gym owned by former Major League player Dean Chance.

 

Team Pacquiao will be billeted at the Wynn Las Vegas, the newest landmark on Las Vegas Boulevard.

 

Rex "Wakee" Salud, a confidant of Pacquiao, has been assigned to take care of the airfare and fight tickets of the southpaw’s long list of guests from the Philippines.

 

Salud had indicated recently that it would be better for him to go straight to Vegas to finalize the room assignments before all hell breaks loose in the final days leading to the fight.

watch-out for the grand finale....

sino tatapos?.....pacs :cool:

[Mr KIM]

Dapat manalo Pacquiao para makalaban Barera.

 

Pag Morales nanalo sya makakalaban kay Barera. Kasawa na eh. Ilan beses na sila naglaban.

 

Pero parang si Morales mananalo. Ewan ko bakit pumayag si Pacquiao na overweight si Morales tapos magbabayad na lng si Morales pag sobra sa timbang. Tapos pag nag-exceed sa 2pounds eh may right si Pacquiao hindi ituloy yung laban.

 

PAg hindi sya lumaban magmumukha sya duwag. Pag lumaban naman sya at natalo magmumukha naman sya tanga. Parang nagulangan ata si Pacquiao ah.

 

Mukha kailangan talaga nya manalo. Pero parang hirap i-duplicate yung ginawa ni Pacquiao last na laban nila. Masyado sya Perfect nun. Kailangan mas Perfect sya ngayon or dapat dehydrated ulit si Morales.

 

Pag pareha tiptop shape si Pacquiao and Morales kay Morales ako.

 

Mukhang labanan ito ng Timbangan. Buti na lang sa ibang bansa gagawin. Kung dito gagawin baka ma-accuse na naman mga Filipino na madurugas. Baka Timbangan ng Palengke gamitin

Pacquiao-Morales III

at the Shang Cineplex

[T.T.]

si Morales ang mananalo, just wait and see

[clubber_lang]

si Morales ang mananalo, just wait and see

Ok. We'll all wait and see!

 

Personally, I see Pacquiao winning via his best performance yet!

 

Whatever happens, though, this is bound to be a classic!

 

Peace!

[T.T.]

In my analysis, if both are well conditioned (and both are right now), Erik has the edge. That's why they call it "sweet science", skill is important and not only speed and strength.

 

Besides, the sport is called "boxing" and not "knockout"
