Mayweather, can’t take the truth

Okay, after Manny Pacquiao won his 7th world title in boxing after defeating Miguel Cotto. Floyd Mayweather is still restless to the truth.

Too many words from Mayweather eversince his father “Floyd Mayweather Sr.” had made a big fluke out of Ricky Hatton.

Mayweather is telling around that Pacquiao won’t admit that he really wants to fight him as well.

It’s just so happens he follows his team leaders very well Floyd. But I tell you, if Manny Pacquiao will fight you? Then this will be the “spiciest” fight I’ve yet to see in your career Floyd. Why? Because you’re lame to watch, utterly boring.

But don’t get me wrong, I like the way you box in the sense of defense. But in the long run it gets really boring. You can keep your zeros (your no loss) to yourself.

Or maybe you didn’t see how Manny take Cotto’s punches on the chin, and still blast away like a tank? Because you’re too busy blabbering away with your big mouth.

Be a little down to earth like the little guy who can make zero crime rate in our country, (and I think including yours) when he fights in the ring.

Coach Roach said Pacquiao will have a tough time w/ Cotto

“Believe me when I say this is going to be his (Pacquiao) toughest fight ever,” he said.

Directly from Manny Pacquiao’s coach, Roach anticipate a heavy fight on Nov. 14 at MGM Grand. He even expects the fight of Pacquiao with Cotto will last 12 rounds.

Roach is also preparing the “pacman” how to handle Miguel Cotto’s left hook. The wildcard team will be very busy for two months from now on.

This is one thing I like about Coach Roach, humble. I have never seen this way of attitude w/ pacman’s last opponent’s coach Mayweather Sr. I have watched some of Cotto’s fight, and one thing is certain that I want Pacquiao to evade and that’s is the ball crusher. Lol!

You see, Cotto loves to punch using hooks. An in-boxer so close, as he tries to aim for you belly. He’ll mistakenly hits your “nuts”.

Miguel Cotto Vs Manny Pacquiao, a definite “Pounding” Match

After the fight of Floyd Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez, another boxing match will be greatly anticipated, the Puerto Rican welterweight champ Miguel Cotto will be fighting Manny Pacquiao on November 14 at MGM Grand Las Vegas.

But even before the match there a lot of speculations, talks and gossips going on if Manny Pacquiao will be fighting Floyd Mayweather (if he wins) or will Floyd Mayweather will be taking Shane “Sugar” Mosley.

But before all of that, there is one thing that really bothers me. Hopefully, either Manny or Floyd will take this to consideration. Take this match names/titles for example…

Money Versus Manny: Who will be the most greedy? Toinks!

Meanwhile enjoy this Miguel Cotto Boxing Highlights…

Historical Return of Floyd Mayweather Jr. to the boxing ring dominating the match with Juan Manuel Marquez

Although not as fast and climatic fight like Pacquiao-Hatton, the match ended leaving Mayweather the victor.

Mayweather topped all the rounds each w/ 10-9 score over Marquez.

Final Score as follows:
Floyd Mayweather 120
Juan Manuel Marquez 107

Well, the match isn’t that exciting. Again, you can hear everywhere Manuel is still a sore loser saying “it’s the weight it’s the weight” issue.

But when Mayweather weighed 146 pounds at Friday’s weigh-in, he was forced to pay a six-figure penalty to Marquez for coming in at more than 144 pounds, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer said.

Schaefer said the contract the fighters signed in May was for the bout to be at a limit of 147 pounds. But in that contract, each man agreed to a substantial penalty clause for every pound, or fraction thereof, more than 144.

Let’s just hope Mayweather-Pacquiao match will come to realize next year after the upcoming match of Miguel Cotto vs Manny Pacquiao.

Floyd Mayweather Sr. trash talking never ends

Well, I just found this from youtube and it seems Floyd Mayweather Sr. trash talking will never end. I bet if Manny Pacquiao still manage to win over to his son Floyd Mayweather Jr. he will still blabber and rant about “How Manny Pacquiao got lucky with that lucky punch”. He’s just a sore looser, and never accepts things and will always have himself blabber that this is because this and this is because that… you get my point?

He never runs out of excuses.

De La Hoya ate his own words when he said “Mayweather Sr. is the better coach than roach”

Oscar De La Hoya once said that Mayweather Sr. is a better coach than Roach, even now as I can see like Juan Manuel Marquez couldn’t accept the fact that Manny Pacquiao defeated them all. If you watched Pacquiao-De La Hoya bout, when he was approached by Coach Freddie Roach, he utterly said to Roach that he is not “in” for today.

Basically speaking he’s not in top shape for the fight. Everybody else saying that he’s dehydrated, that he could or should have won anyhow. Oscar said that he wasn’t at his best because he was weight drained and weak. Then why you didn’t prepare much further at all? In boxing, this aren’t acceptable reasons of a lost. You enter the ring with you all.

Oscar, was even present in the Pacquiao-Hatton bout. I say, stop whinning and be a man. Accept the reality and if you really believe you’re not in top shape? Why not work your way out to fight again with Manny?

Now Juan Manuel Marquez, even wants revenge. It will come to reality but he have to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. on July. I think teaming up with Mayweather Sr. thought you not to accept losses. C’mon bro, Manny Pacquiao had 3 losses before. He worked his way up not to kiss the canvass anymore. C’mon think about it, if you manage to defeat Manny Pacquiao you will be a Boxing Legend instantly.

Oscar De La Hoya spout those words that Mayweather Sr. is a better coach than Freddie Roach in an interview with Sky Sports. C’mon dawg aren’t you just upset with Roach who was your previous trainer? You just pick Mayweather Sr. as a trainer because his trained his son Floyd Mayweather Jr. was unbeatable? Can you even think that Mayweather Jr. was unbeatable because all who stand against him are just wussies?

“I have to take my hat off to Ricky “Hitman” Hatton for picking Floyd Mayweather Sr. because that was the best thing he could do.”

I don’t think so bub.

Oscar went on to pick the Hitman to win by late knockout over Pacquiao. I just hoped you didn’t bet big :)

De La Hoya predicts that Hatton can win by presuring Pacquiao, using his jab to wear Pacquiao down. Jab? C’mon, Hatton is much of a sloppy sluggish slugger when he heats his head than Manny. He point it out  again that when he fought Manny and lost by an 8th round stoppage in December 2008, he wasn’t at his best because he was weight drained and weak. He sees Hatton last weak to be the “real deal” for Manny.

Pacquiao has little experience against larger fighters like Hatton, and the only fight that Pacquiao has at this level, an 8th round win over De La Hoya, hardly counts because of De La Hoya’s poor conditioning that he was in for the fight.

Yeah, I know that’s not Pacquiao’s fault. Pacquiao did what he was supposed to do by taking advantage of De La Hoya’s weight drained body and beat him. However, my point is that Pacquiao won’t have that same luck tomorrow night and will be facing a fighter in Hatton that is fighting at his normal weight and who will be much bigger, stronger and aggressive than any fighter that Pacquiao has ever faced before in his career.

Another whinning here.

This is why I agree with De La Hoya’s prediction. Hatton will be knocking Pacquiao out tomorrow night and he’s going to shock the world in the process. Right now, not too many people are picking Hatton to win against Pacquiao, but boy are they going to be wrong.

Hatton isn’t just going to win, I see him destroying Pacquiao with power shots and making him look like a fighter that doesn’t belong at light welterweight. In fact, Pacquiao doesn’t belong at this weight, but after tomorrow night it will be academic.

This is just too good to be true, and your prediction is reverse. Way too far from it, Manuel Perez, like what I always said. Manny Pacquiao is always a work in progress. And if you all wanted for revenge, he still available and far from retirement.

Upcoming boxing predictions, Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Juan Manuel Marquez

Floyd Mayweather Jr. officially announced in the same day of the bout of “The Battle of East and West” that he will be returning to the ring. Floyd Mayweather Jr. the son of Ricky Hatton’s coach, Floyd Mayweather Sr., will be fighting Juan Manuel Marquez as his return debut to the ring will be on July 18, 2009. Floyd Mayweather Jr. was a pound for pound superstar and his old nemesis Juan Manuel Marquez (who was defeated also by Manny Pacquiao) will be tough fight. Juan Manuel Marquez is eager for revenge after his upset fight with Manny Pacquiao over split decision. And Manny Pacquiao turned down Juan Manuel Marquez for the rematch with $6 million guranteed for the fight. Richard Schaefer, of the Golden Boy Promotions CEO who had made this offer. Bob Arum said that it should lay low for awhile, but for Pacquiao’s part said that the business is over because he plans to move up to the lightweight division.

It was very controversial fight even for some Filipino boxing analyts saying Marquez should be the winner.

Now both boxers have tremendous grunge and both wants revenge. Floyd Mayweather Jr. for saving his father’s chit-chatter-box, trash-talking mouth and Juan Manual Marquez for his controversial loss with Manny Pacquiao.

I’d say, 60-40 for this one. 60 for Marquez and 40 for Floyd Mayweather Jr. to loss the fight. Why? Because sometimes clean record of no loss doesn’t mean you are vulnerable in lossing. Just like what happened with Ricky “Hitman” Hatton. Manny Pacquiao already have 3 losses and never kissed the canvass ever since. With pure determination and geniune work etiquette, he is where he is now. Now, Juan Manual Marquez grunge is much bigger than Floyd Mayweather Jr. and that is where I based my odds in.

But, like what Manny Pacquiao said during their weight-in with Ricky Hatton. Only God knows who will win the fight.

Coach Floyd Mayweather Sr. Vs Coach Freddie Roach

This is Pacquiao-Hatton 24/7 Overtime, interviews with Coach Floyd Mayweather Sr. and Coach Freddie Roach, as you can see Coach Floyd Mayweather Sr., like all disappointed with the Pacquia-Dela Hoya bout still babbles that Manny was just damn lucky beating Dela Hoya because he was dehydrated. Well, I say Mayweather Sr. (Gayweather according to some youtubers’ comment that I’ve read) is not a coach and trainer at all. He spends all his time trashed talked throughout the whole damn Pacquiao-Hatton 24/7 show. One of the comment by joelspeach says: “The biggest mistake that Hatton did was to hire Mayweather he would have done better to stick with his old trainer and lasted longer. What makes Mayweather so special. Freddie Roach is the best trainer in history. Freddie is a genius trainer.” Well, too much praise for Freddie Roach there but I guess he is as for Manny is the living proof. Coach Floyd Mayweather Sr., where is your fast, bad, trash talking mouth in your one-on-one interview in HBO’s Pacquiao-Hatton 24/7 Overtime interview? Coach Floyd Mayweather Sr. saying that Coach Freddie Roach’s prediction (that Ricky Hatton will go down in or before 3 rounds of boxing) will not come true. Now that it came true, with just 2 rounds Manny Pacquiao defeated Ricky Hatton. Can we consider Coach Freddie Roach to be an oracle also? Not just a good goddamn coach and trainer :) Well, here it is folks. Enjoy laughing as much I do while watching Coach Freddie Roach trashed talked him back face to face unlike this backstabbing Coach Floyd Mayweather Sr. It’s all over Coach Floyd Mayweather Sr., Coach Freddie Roach says him so. :) Now everybody is anticipating Manny Paquiao Versus Floyd Mayweather Jr., if he manages to beat Juan Manuel Marquez on July 2009. Now if Marquez wins, then the “Business is over” line of Manny Pacquiao will still continue with Juan Manuel Marquez.

RP clean every Manny Pacquiao event, maybe Manny Pacquiao can be the next president after being a fighting congressman

Not only the world gazed and anticipated “The Battle of East and West” Manny Pacquiao Versus Ricky Hatton in Las Vegas MGM Grand Garden Arena, but the Philippines have lowered crime incidents. I guess for the cure of H1N1 for a short time is Manny Pacquiao’s fights eh? :)

No one dares to miss the historical event. Even with the irritating (way too much) commercial breaks. Those who can’t afford to watch it on cable or in the malls, patiently waits in local national television. GMA 7 in partnership with Solar Sports for the coverage (in which Manny Pacquiao got conflict with the contract a.k.a. the scandal for ABS-CBN)

One article I’ve read from UK yahoo sport describes “the streets of the Philippines could resemble a ghost town for a few hours on Sunday morning as everyone from taxi drivers to petty thieves makes time to watch Manny Pacquiao’s fight against Britain’s Ricky Hatton.” This is very much true, all you can here across the streets and inside every home are either commercial of the bout or the bout itself. The fight aired in GMA Channel 7 at 10am but with all those annoying commercials the fight was seen at pass 2pm.

“In terms of sports events, every Pacquiao fight is the Philippines’ Super Bowl,” said Carlito Claudio, vice president for systems operations at the National Grid Corp of the Philippines.

Power demand normally rises by two per cent, or around 140 megawatts, whenever Pacquiao fights and this Sunday is likely to be no different, Claudio said.

This is like, wow, ain’t it? Indeed, Manny’s fight nowadays resembles’ Super Bowl Football.

…and here’s another wow…

“We have historical and statistical data to show that there’s always zero crime during Pacquiao’s actual match,” said Nicanor Bartolome, national police spokesman.

In the southern Mindanao island, government soldiers will set up a giant screen in a former camp of the militant rebel group Abu Sayyaf to watch the match, according to a local radio report.

Pacquiao, widely regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, has also distracted politicians.

Congress adjourned its session early this week so about 50 lawmakers, including the speaker of the House of Representatives, could fly to Las Vegas for the fight.

I even saw Pichay if I’m not mistaken, Prospero “Butch” Pichay, Jr. in that fight after Manny Pacquiao won. Ok, that’s a little bit of not wow for me. I mean, c’mon with the current situation of calamity in different provinces. You’ll dare to spend great money leave the country and watch the fight? Instead of helping our countrymen?

Oh well, atleast Manny Pacquiao manages to make the Philippines in peace, even for a couple of minutes. Next time Manny, make it to atleast the later rounds. So the Philippines can be at peace a little bit longer. :)

Rumor has it that he’ll be running for congress, a fighting congress he say. But I say go for presidency and have boxing fights every hour so the Philippines can be at peace.

Ok, I’m exagerrating too much. Don’t do it, just box. Not even for the congress. If you gonna do it, then stay away from those damn dirty politicians.
