Marco Antonio Barrera set to destroy Manny Pacquiao; Pacquiao's Days are Numbered

You sound a bit salty.....kinda of like the author who wrote the article Boycott!!. If you lost money I feel bad for you, no one likes to loosse paper especially betting on a fight....but if you aren't good at knowing the sport of boxing then you should just find anther past time instead of getting all bent out of shape about loosing a bet. I'm sure many lost betting against Manny....

It's not every day that a young Pinoy fighter comes out of no where and hands "L's" to 3 of the very best Mexican fighters boxing has every saw all fighting in the same era and same weight class. But it happened....is Manny a Media Hype job. Just asking the question is hysterical!!:rofl

Of course not, a hype job is someone who has accolades WITHOUT proving his mettle. All the accolades that Manny has associated with his name and brand are from WINNING and dominanting in his craft. His praise is warranted for the most part....HE'S NOT the 2nd comming of Ray Robinson like some of the FANATICS feel, but he is a very special talent and tremendous champion to say the least.

 

That's like Bin Laden taking down the WTC, and announcing it to the world.

ROACH HAPPY WITH PACQUIAO'S FIRST 12-ROUND SPARRING

CEBU CITY--Celebrated trainer Freddie Roach was two thumbs-up yesterday after his superstar pupil Manny Pacquiao cruised through his first 12-round session virtually unscathed and wanting for more.

Yesterday's session thus brings to 80 the total number of rounds Pacquiao has sparred so far in preparation for his mammoth rematch with Marco Antonio Barrera on October 6 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

"It was ok. He did great. He just stayed a little bit too long on the ropes, and i didn't like that very much," said Roach when interviewed yesterday at the Rex 'Wakee' Salud gym.

Pacquiao sparred four rounds with Mexican Raymundo Beltran, three rounds with Aaron Melgarejo, three rounds with Mexican David Rodela and two rounds against welterweight Arniel Tinampay.

"He looked in much better shape today that when he first sparred after his flu. Today he was brilliant," said conditioning trainer Dodie Boy Penalosa, who has been tasked by trainer Buboy Fernandez to oversee Pacquiao's stamina.

Pacquiao is expected to run a longer uphill route today at the Alta Vista Golf and Country Club, then report to the gym in the afternoon for his usual workout.

Team Pacquiao leaves Cebu in the evening of September 21, before heading out for Los Angeles the following day.

"We stay one week in LA, then leave on Sunday or Monday for Las Vegas," added the well-loved boxing tactician.

The "spy" thing is just a PR gimmick.

 

on the contrary, i beg to disagree..if he did own pac he could have agreed with the rematch anyways..

 

what iv'e noticed about this article is: the author doesn't like pac a little bit doe'snt he?
it's ok if you don't like a certain fighter it's part of the sport anyways. criticism will always be there. but let see the merit of his points.
to label pac is another phil. media hype is somewhat discriminating: is he saying that only vegas has the right to showcase world class boxers,and not my 3rd world country phil.?
that's what i am seeing on his statement.
2nd he is saying that pac is just another media hype: then why bite?isn't hype helpful to boxing as it also promotes popularity?
why the global boxing scene bite? is it because that pac bought something "new" to the table and in particular the excitement he brings win or lose?
now i beg to disagree:
pac bought and contributed new awareness in boxing wheather it's the new pac-fans that the urban dictionary defines or plain boxing fans or the nuthuggers..
or the so-called critics it doesnt matter. this is all helpful to the sport.like i said it bought new awareness in boxing weather for the plain or casual fans or for the hardcore fans.
mr. author, even if pac losses as you hope he will it does'nt matter. the fact is he will be remembered. he will be remembered by his country-men for bringing not just awareness to this sport on how great it is but most especially honor and pride for my country and thus i give him that credit for that endeavor whether you'll like it or not..
he might lose but all his accomplishments( if some would call it that) and hardwork will never be forgotten, i'm assured of it.:good
