Pacquiao Routs Mosley In Glorified Sparring Session;
Arce Revives Mexico vS. Puerto Rico Ring Wars |
|
|
By Roy & Marlene Marquez @
Ringside
Pound4Pound kingpin Manny Pacquiao walked
to, through and over Sugar Shane Mosley in a one sided
affair that drew the ire of a crowd that deserved more.
So too did Pacquiao. The eight division champion chased
Mosley around the ring looking to fight but Mosley
refused to engage and seemingly retired in the ring.
Mosley won one round on two scorecards and none on the
third in a fight that was never was. “What am I going to
do if my opponent doesn’t want to fight toe to toe with
me?” asked Pacquiao following the fight.

Manny Pacquiao Retains WBO Title With
Lopsided Decision Over Shane Mosley |
|
|
Photos: Tom Casino - SHOWTIME
On the first Saturday of May, boxing’s
top thoroughbred, global superstar and Filipino
Congressman, Manny Pacquiao, won a resounding 12-round
decision over Shane Mosley to retain his WBO
welterweight title in the main event of a four-fight
telecast produced and distributed by SHOWTIME PPV.
The one-sided victory before 16,412 at the sold-out MGM
Grand Garden Arena was the 14th in a row for Pacquiao,
of General Santos City, Philippines. An eight-division
world champion, Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38 KOs) was victorious
by the scores of 120-107, 120-108 and 119-108.

Pacquiao Wins 12 Round To Zip
While Mosley Shows Poor Performance |
|
|
Photo: Chris Farina - Top Rank
Manny Pacquiao (now 53-3-2, 38 KO's) had
an extremely easy night against Shane Mosley, winning
every single round on two judges score cards, while the
third gave Mosley a single pity round. Mosley's
performance was so lackluster that his purse should
consider being withheld.
There is no need for a round-by-round as nearly each
round played out the same: Pacquiao jumps in with some
big shots; Mosley retreats; Mosley holds. That's it.
In round 3, a jab-left combo sent Mosley down for the
first time in the fight and into panic mode. From that
moment on, Mosley did very little, if anything at all.
Pacquiao didn't even need to do much as he did just
enough to win every single round.
In round 10, referee Kenny Bayless wrongfully ruled a
knockdown in favor of Mosley when Pacquiao clearly
slipped to the canvas. Bayless was directly infront of
the two when it happened and it's a mystery why he
called it an official knockdown. That apparently didn't
matter on the scores and Pacquiao still didn't lose that
round.
Final scores were 120-108, 120-107 and 119-108. Mosley
falls to 46-7-1-1 with 39 KO's.

Pacquiao “Plasters” Margarito
Takes Vacant WBC 154 Pound Belt |
|
By William Trillo
Photos By Naoki Fukada
For everyone who wanted to see Antonio Margarito (38-7, 27 KO's)
get what they felt he had coming to him, and there were many,
Saturday night should have made them happy. Manny Pacquiao
(52-3-2, 38 KO's) overcame a huge difference in size and crushed
the brave Mexican Warriors face, literally. Not only did Tony
suffer a crushed orbital bone in his cheek but it seems he had
his nose fractured as well. Sergio Diaz, Tony's co-manager, said
Sunday that an eye muscle is lodged in that fracture and needs
to be surgically repaired. Manny’s dominance over the bigger foe
was more than stunning, not that most didn’t expect him to win,
but the beating he put on Margarito was off the charts.
Eye muscle lodged in the fracture?? Yow!!

Pacquiao Makes Margarito A Mismatch,
Wins 12 Rounds To 0 In Beat Down |
|
|
Photo: Chris Farina - Top Rank
Manny Pacquiao (now 52-3-2, 38 KO's) won
a lopsided unanimous decision over Antonio Margarito
that saw him win every single round. Despite being
outweighed by seventeen pounds tonight, Pacquiao was
just too fast for Margarito who just couldn't get
anything started.
From the opening round, Pacquiao was in and out, landing
first and last. Margarito's punches would swing after
Pacquiao was already at a distance.
In round 4, Pacquiao opened up a cut under Margarito's
right eye with an uppercut. A body shot buckled
Margarito as he almost looked to go down.
Pacquiao began to slow by round 8, but kept moving and
putting the pressure on Margarito every time he got
close. Margarito had his best round in the 8th as
Pacquiao laid against the ropes, who was still
connecting at a higher rate.
In round 10, a right hook on the side of the head
staggered Margarito at the end of the round as he was
out on his feet and saved by the bell.
In round 11, Pacquiao landed a number of combinations
flush on Margarito's bloody face, constantly looking at
the referee to step in who never did.
Pacquiao closed the night in the 12th taking it a little
easy on Margarito, who's eyes were both nearly
completely shut, allowing him to finish the fight on his
feet.
Final scores were 120-108, 118-110 and 119-109.
Margarito falls to 38-7 with 27 KO's.

Is Arum Paving A New Road For Pacquiao?
And Other Questions Someone Had To Ask |
|
By William Trillo
Photo-Chop: Bret "The Threat"
Am I the only one who scratched his head
after reading the comments Bob Arum made in the Los
Angeles Times recently? First Bob said that Pacquiao has
agreed to submit to random pre-fight blood tests up to
14 days before a fight with Mayweather.
Don't get too excited yet!
After that the article reveals that Arum speculates by
suggesting that Mayweather is still deciding whether or
not he wants to fight this year. The sticking point
could be the legal situation of Floyd Jr.'s uncle and
trainer, Roger Mayweather, who faces a coming trial date
for allegedly attacking a female boxer last year. Arum
said he believes "we'll have to fish or cut bait by the
end of next week."

Clottey Gives Disgraceful Performance As Pacquiao Wins 12 Round
To 0 Against Unwilling Opponent |
|
|
Photo: Chris Farina - Top Rank
Manny Pacquiao (now 51-3-2, 30 KO's) won an
easier than expected fight against Joshua Clottey who gave an
un-Clottey-like display for 12 rounds, as he appeared unwilling
to try. To many viewers, this fight may have looked like a "pay
day" in fact, as Clottey basically did defense for 12 full
rounds, winning only a single round on two of the 3 judges score
cards.
From the beginning to end, it was Pacquiao as the busier, more
active fighter, constantly throwing, landing and actually
"TRYING" being the key word. Clottey appeared to be waiting for
Pacquiao to tire before he turned it on, but he never did. He
just waited and waited, and did very little if anything at all.
In between rounds 8 and 9, Clottey's trainer told him,
"You're losing every damn round.". In between rounds 9 and 10,
he added "you still haven't won a round!".
Clottey's best moments were rounds 3 and 11 where his uppercuts
were landing with ease, snapping Pacquiao's head up, but were
they enough to win rounds where Pacquiao fought hard from
beginning to end.
Final scores were 120-108, 119-109, 119-109.
Clottey falls to 35-4 with 21 KO's.

Bright light city gonna set my

Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher!
Amid rumors, speculation, innuendo and balderdash, the
most anticipated fight of the new millennium apparently
will not be heading to Jerry Jones' Dallas Stadium but
instead will be going to...drum roll please, Las Vegas.
That's right folks, according to multiple sources the
Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Maweather Pound4Pound title
fight is headed to sin city. Pacquiao’s Canadian
adviser, Mike Koncz, said that they always knew that Las
Vegas would host the fight. “As far as we know it’s
always been Vegas,” Koncz told The Philippine Star.

Pacquiao - The Fast And The Furious |
|
By Barbara Pinnella
Many thought that Manny Pacquiao (50-3-2, 37 KOs) would win his
fight against Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KOs). But he was not
without his critics. His doubters had said that he was involved
in too many things and that his mind was not 100% on the job at
hand. There was discord in his camp and that took a toll on him
mentally.
Well, if all those things were true, than he is as strong and
gifted emotionally as he is physically. One did not have to be a
fan of boxing to appreciate the clinic put on by Manny on
Saturday night. Was this good for boxing? I think yes.

Manny: The Calm In The Eye Of The Storm |
|
By William Trillo
On my drive home from Las Vegas yesterday all I could do was
wonder how Manny Pacquiao does it time and time again. I mean,
it's not a secret that there is always rumors of outside
distractions and turmoil inside his camp before every fight, yet
when Pacman climbs into the ring any outside disturbances have
no effect on him whatsoever.
Manny handles his business inside the ring like no other, so
what is his secret?
I came to the conclusion that Manny lives his life inside the
eye of the storm. Scientifically speaking, the eye of the storm
is the calmest place to be when all else around it is getting
hammered by the cyclone. The barometric pressure in that cyclone
is lower than anywhere else around it. Much like the storm, the
pressure heaped on Pacquiao is negligible and he uses the storms
power to produce fantastic and destructive results.

Pacquiao Stays Focused In Ring To Break Down Cotto;
12th Round TKO Gives Him Lucky # 7 |
|
By William Trillo
WBO Welterweight Champ came out looking sharp early against the
fiery quick Pacquiao and was looking to make Manny regret facing
him. For a time early in the fight this one had the makings of
fight of the year all over it.
Going into round three the fight turned to Cotto’s favor and by
anyone’s account he was easily winning the round with strong
jabs and straight counters. Out of seemingly nowhere Manny hit
Cotto with shots Cotto said he never saw and just like that
Cotto was down.
The round that should have been one in the tank for the Champ
was suddenly a 10-8 round for the challenger Pacquiao. In an
instant the boisterous Puerto Rican fans in the house were on
the edge of their seats with concern.

Pacquiao Dominates, Destroys, Then Stops Cotto |
|
|
By William Trillo & Bret "The
Threat" Newton
Manny Pacquiao had an easier time than
expected with Miguel Cotto as he put on a completely one
sided affair, dropping Cotto early, then outworking him
through the entire fight before stopping him in the
12th. While Cotto had his moments and landed his best
shots, he was never active enough to win any rounds as
Pacquiao was just way too much to handle.
The fight looked close to the end early, but Cotto
stayed away from being knocked out until the final round
as the beating he was taking was too much for referee
Kenny Bayless to withstand, who jumped in to save Cotto
from further punishment.

to give the fan what they want which is an exciting

Pacquiao Knocks Hatton Cold In Just 2 Rounds |
|
|
By William Trillo & Bret Newton
Manny Pacquiao (the REAL
number 1 Pound4Pound fighter in the world) made short
work of Ricky Hatton in what was expected to be a close
fought, back and forth war. Pacquiao scored two
knockdowns in the opening round, then one more in the
second round with a single left hook that put Hatton
flat on his back for the count.
From the beginning, the fight was a mismatch as a quick
hook staggered Hatton early. Hatton pressed Pacquiao to
the ropes and tried to work the body, but once Pacquiao
decided to unleash, Hatton was wobbling to the opposite
side of the ring. A strong right on the chin put Hatton
down to his knees for the first time in the fight.
Hatton in a fetal position truly showed the damage just
a minute into the fight. Referee Kenny Bayless felt the
need to give Hatton extra time to recuperate as he
pushed Pacquiao back twice and took his time with wiping
Hatton's gloves.
Up on uneasy legs, Pacquiao went for the
kill and dropped Hatton once again. This time Hatton was
just one punch away from being stopped. Hatton made it
out of the round staggering to his corner.
In round 2, Hatton gave it his best shot to try and land
his hooks to the body, but once on the inside, Pacquiao
was just too strong as a left hook absolutely flattened
Hatton on his back. There was no need to count as Hatton
showed no signs of movement.
With the win, Pacquiao remains the true pound4pound
number one fighter in the world. Pacquiao beat Hatton,
not only in such convincing fashion, but at his own
weight which was Hatton's first loss at Jr. Welter.
Don't be fooled by the recent return of another former
pound4pound fighter as he has chosen to fight top
fighters at lighter weights and by making them move up.
This fight was Pacquiao moving up and beating the best
at their own weight class which is much more an
accomplishment. Pacquiao also remains to be the most
entertaining fighter in the world today.

Manny Pacquiao marching out to the Queen song, “We Will Rock

EVER!
What Oscar De La Hoya was about to experience was without a
doubt the worst 24 minutes inside the squared circle that The

prediction of Oscar being too big and strong for the

"The Dream Match" Turns Into Mismatch;
PACQUIAO STOPS DE LA HOYA IN 8!!!!!!!!! |
|
|
Photo: Bret "The Threat" Newton
Manny Pacquiao did what many did not
think was possible. Not only did he beat the "bigger"
Oscar De La Hoya, but he EASILY outboxed him through 8
rounds that Oscar didn't win a single one of. Pacquiao
won as lopsided a fight as not many expected, but as
Oscar proceeded to "get that ass beat", he knew that
Pacquiao was too fast and too strong, so he quit on his
stool after the 8th round.
All three judges at ringside scored the 7th round a 10-8
as Oscar was pummeled around the ring and was nearly
stopped. Only one judge gave Oscar a single round, which
was the first round, which was also one of the easiest
rounds to score as Pacquiao easily jabbed Oscar's head
off to start the fight and give his fans hope.
And to all the hate mail and negative comments we here
at Pound4Pound got for going out on a limb by predicting
Manny by stoppage, be sure your emails will be featured
in our upcoming mail bag, lol. We told ya' so.

Warning: Those who suffer from high blood
pressure, have a heart condition, sweat profusely after
a 30 second walk from the hotel to the press bus in the
Las Vegas summer or are currently eating a cream filled
donut while washing it down with a Diet Cola, you should
avoid reading this article.
I have been saying since this fight promotion began that
Manny Pacquiao was going to beat Oscar De La Hoya and I
have closed most of my “Dream Fight” articles reminding
everyone that Manny would defeat Oscar. Conventional
wisdom amongst the experts has been that Oscar is just
too big and this fight is a joke.

Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao's
"The Dream Match" 6 city tour ended today at the
Whittier Arch, on the streets of East Los Angeles. Home
of Oscar De La Hoya, the hundreds of fans showed their

Pacquiao's fans, Filipino's as well as Mexican's, still
made cheers heard.
De La Hoya: "It feels good to have this kind of
support. That's when you know you're home and it makes
me proud to have grown up in this very city. This is a
huge fight and the turnout here proves just that. Manny
Pacquiao is the best Pound4Pound fighter in the world
today, and who better to go after than the best."

Diaz Cast As “The Goat” In Jurassic Pacquiao |
|
|
By Bret “The Threat” Newton
It was finally revealed what part “the
goat” played in the Manny Pacquiao vs. David Diaz fight
at the Mandalay Bay on Saturday night. Forget the “Cubs”
and any “curse” reference you may have read or heard.
It’s not as if we didn’t know just how this fight was
going to pan out either. Anyone who actually bought into
the hype that Diaz would offer anything more than a
spectacular performance for Pacquiao to lay his fists
into was sadly kidding their selves.

practically gobbled up WBC lightweight champion David
Diaz (34-2-1, 17 KO’s) this Saturday night at the

Pacquiao Destroys Diaz |
|
By William Trillo

It was at the start of round nine that I
thought to myself, this is why fighters get permanently
hurt in the ring...or worse. Manny Pacquiao beat the WBC
Lightweight title right off of David Diaz and no jokes
about a goat need be applied. Diaz gave this his all but
it was nowhere near enough to defeat a 135 pound Manny
who looked, bigger, faster and stronger than ever
before. The fight was one sided from the very start with
Diaz not winning a single second. Bleeding profusely
from the side of his face on a cut that was looked at by
the doctor twice during and between rounds, Diaz was
dropped with a single shot in the 9th and the fight was
immediately called off.

Pacquiao: "This is going to be more entertaining than

Diaz likes to fight toe-to-toe, which is what I like."
Diaz: "I know a lot of writers aren't giving me much a

Marquez & Pacquiao Face To Face Again,
Both Ready For Another Stunner This Saturday |
|

Photo: Bret "The Threat" Newton
WBC Super Featherweight Champion Juan
Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao are set to get it on
again, this Saturday, at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
In what was considered the Fight Of The Year in 2004,
their first fight was nothing shy of an amazing
performance by both men. Pacquiao scoring three
knockdowns in the very first round had you on the edge
of your seat the minute it started, through the
courageous comeback from Marquez and up until the scores
read the fight was ruled a draw. And still, everyone has
been on the edge of their seat, anticipating this
rematch from the moment they left the ring and you can
guarantee their second fight will have similar, if not
better, fireworks as their first. Their final press
conference was held in Los Angeles today, and both
promised another great fight.
Marquez: "When they hold up my hand in victory in the
ring on Saturday night remember that I am doing this for
everyone in Mexico."
Pacquiao: "I know all of you here want Marquez, and I
know he trained very hard for this fight, but so did I!
May the best man win on Saturday night."

William's Mail Pouch:
Manny vs. Ricky |

By William Trillo
As strange as it may seem to some, even I on occasion get
feedback on my articles...will wonders never cease! Of course I
don't have the incredible amount of fans as many of my peers,
nor do I write fan mail to myself and pretend I have people who
worship me, errrr, allegedly, but I do at times get a letter or
two from someone who stumbles across our "cookie cutter" little
site. Obviously I don't need an entire Mailbag, so let me dig
into my little pouch and see what's there.
This letter in regards to my recent article about
Ricky
Fatton vs. Money Pacquiao made me chuckle and I thought
I would share it with you.
Right on. It's a total travesty. Hatton should fight Wittter,
who he's been evading forever. Witter beats the crap out of
Hatton. Manny is way too small although he is a hell of a lot
better (& more exciting ) fighter. Hatton was lucky to fight a
far past prime Kosta Tszyu. His whole rep is based on one big
fight. Hatton is a fat beer sucking slob, period!

If It Makes Cents, Count On It |

By William Trillo
Over the past few days we have been hearing that Jr. Welter
Champ Ricky Hatton relishes a fight with Jr. Light Champ Manny
Pacquiao, but not much has come out of team Pacquiao on the
matter. Early Monday morning Pound4Pound spoke to upper brass at
Top Rank as well as one of Pacquiao's top advisor's. Both
parties confirmed that a Hatton match up is a very distinct
possibility, in fact the team Pacquiao member went as far as to
say that, "plans are already on the drawing board", yes, that's
a direct quote.
This news comes on the tail of a London Times report stating
that Hatton has been on an eating and drinking binge since his
first loss last month and is already terribly out of shape.

Manny is Manny and until someone can
prove to me otherwise I can't pick against him. In his
12 round unanimous decision over a retiring Marco
Antonio Barrera, Pacquiao once again put all that
distraction talk to rest and he still tops my list as
best Pound4Pound fighter in the game. In his final
stanza, Barrera made a good account of himself but once
he realized Manny was not to be denied it appeared to me
that Marco fought in a manner that assured he would
remain on his feet, but in doing so it left little room
for him to pull out an upset victory.

The long over anticipated rematch between
Manny Pacquiao and Marco Antonio Barrera already has

like these, is counted out, but comes up with a big win?
Is Pacquiao going to repeat or have an easier night than
the first time these two met? What ever the case may be,
this is a fight everyone has been waiting for and wants
to see.
Barrera: "This time it's different because Pacquiao is
the star and he's at the top and it's me who's coming
up. That's the motivation that will make me victorious
on Oct. 6."
Pacquiao: "This is a tough fight. Barrera is always
tough and is always prepared. I will be one hundred
percent for the rematch because that's what it's going
to take to win."

Jacqui Snow's "K.O.'s" |
|
| Tuesday Report By "K.O."
Jacqui Snow
The Vegas betting odds showed
Manny Pacquiao to be a 10-1 favorite going into Saturday's bout.
Once you factored in all the distractions working against him,
though, the conditions were ripe for an upset and during the
early part of the fight, the undefeated Jorge Solis seemed
poised to make that happen. Pacquiao had his hands full from the
opening bell and it actually took him several rounds to figure
out his opponent. In no small part, this was due to the fact
that Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, had been missing in
action at training camp. Roach, who was named 2006 Trainer of
the Year by the Boxing Writers Association of America, had
ditched Pacquiao in favor of a more lucrative and high-profile
gig--he was in Puerto Rico training Oscar De La Hoya for his
upcoming bout with Floyd Mayweather. Instead, Justin Fortune,
who'd worked closely with Pacquiao and Roach, was entrusted with
the full-time job and Roach himself flew into Texas just hours
before the bout in order to be in his fighter's corner.

Written By William Trillo
Not all of the outcomes went the way Bob
Arum might have wanted, but make no mistake about it, the
Top Rank promoted PPV card was exactly what the long time
promoter promised.
The fights were all action packed and
the pace of the show for both the PPV audience as well as
those in attendance was fast paced and quick, hopefully this
will be the new trend in boxing broadcasts, because what we
have seen over the last decade or more just is not working

– Well, you can’t say that Bob Arum isn’t a gracious
man. After making all that green with Manny Pacquiao on
the Erik Morales trilogy, Arum served up a softball in
the name of Jorge Solis Saturday night at the Alamodome
in San Antonio.
Rather than closing the night with a bang, it ended more
like a whimper as Pacquiao KO’d the far inferior Sosa at
1:16 of the eighth round to retain the less than coveted
WBC International Super Featherweight title. On balance,
the night was entertaining for the 14,793 in attendance
(the second largest crowd ever to see a fight in San Antonio) and the ones that spent $ 44.95 on

well.

Favors

Written By William Trillo and Nat Gottlieb

Although Manny Pacquiao said on Filipino TV two
days ago he will definitely run for elected
office in the May 14 mid-term elections, sources
close to the boxer told Pound4Pound.com he
cannot legally run for election without some
behind-the-scenes help from his close friend,
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, President of the
Philippines.
Pacquiao has said in the past he wants to run
for either Mayor of General Santos City, where
he lives, or national senator. But our sources
say Pacquiao finds himself in a legal bind
needing some political favors:

Pac Being
Favored Over Eric Is Only Half Of The Story
Morales Makes A Convincing Argument From
Podium -
Video

|
No doubt that everyone was shocked when Wynn Las
Vegas Sportsbook Director John Avello announced that
Manny Pacquiao was named as a 7-5 favorite to beat
Eric Morales in the rematch scheduled to take place
January 21 at the Thomas and Mack Arena. But when
Morales took to the microphone and made his speech
to the media in attendance, those odds may have
changed immediately as he left no doubt that he was
serious about the fight justly dubbed "The Battle"
After the fighters addressed the full house from the
podium, Boxing2005 spoke briefly with both fighters
and they both put their own exclamation points on
what this fight means to them.
Boxing2005 is proud to bring you FREE Video

'Manila Ice' = "Top Secret!" - Pacquiao

Photos: Bret "The Threat" Newton
Manny Pacquiao held an open workout today at the
Wild Card GYM in Los Angeles where he sparred for 8
rounds and showed some new footwork and defense applied
to the already 'in your face' action style. Of course,
what was on mind was all this 'Manila Ice' hype, and
just what exactly is this new technique trainer Freddie
Roach has worked on with Pacquiao in preparation for his
fight with Erik Morales: "It's top secret!", said
Pacquiao. "You will find out on March 19th."
Hmm, no cracks just yet then, however, Pacquiao did
share this: "I feel this is the same type of fight I
had with Barrera. I feel that they are on the same level
so I have prepared the same. This is just as big of a
fight as the Barrera one for me. This is going to be a
very good fight."
