Is this it Manny Pacquiao's Career? Manny Pacquiao vs Joshua Clottey


I am predicting outcome of this boxing match between Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey will be different than what most of the fans are thinking for or even you. Manny Pacquiao sound and looks over confident. This is usually what happens when the boxer is no longer hungry; the new life style is everything. Let’s be honest, Manny Pacquiao has nothing to prove on this fight, of course there is the hype, and the lime light on it which are not new to him anymore. But his opponent, Joshua Clottey looks hungrier and wants what Manny Pacquiao has. Even the fox tries to get her share of the meat from the lion when she is hungry. I also think Manny Pacquiao is looking his way out; let’s face it, his running for senate in his back home, Philippines. The way I figure it out, he said to himself that you rather lose to an unknown boxer than a known one; this is how usually boxers retire. So on March 13, 2010, will the last of Manny Pacquiao, he already said he singing, that can be the farewell speak I think. Either way, I want Manny Pacquiao to win, even though I was disappointed when the fight was cancelled between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Most dangerous sport of the world

Dembe is traditional boxing sport held every year in Nigeria. You can call it crazy but Nigerian people love it and it is legal above all. It is one of the most dangerous sports in world and usually death is being the fatal result. The men who fight are the new warriors of their age, some say they are looking for fame, others say it is only way out from poverty but I see them as true warriors who don’t need boxing gloves, and 1-2-3 steps of boxing rules. In this sport, there are no rules, if there are three knockouts in first three rounds, and then the match is over. If there are good boxers, then the match can last about hour and so. They fight with bare hands, knuckle to knuckle, therefore only the strongest survives and stands at last. The reward is simple, the winner gets $100, a TV set and of course the pride of the champion. Believe me, this is more fun than watching Avatar or Hollywood Oscar night. Also, this is how Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquao should settle their differences, Nah; it is just an opinion (lol) because they got pretty faces. (lol)

Roy Jones Junior vs Bernard Hopkins


At 45 years of age, Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins (50-5-1, 32 KOs) remains in peak physical shape and is still at the top of his game. Roy Jones Jr. (54-6, 40 KOs) has been considered one of the best pound-4-pound boxers in the sport, but at 41 years old, after a few recent losses, people tend write him off as a finished fighter.


Both fighters had tune-up fights, Hopkins won easily but Jones didn't do well and was knocked out in the first round by Danny Green. 
At that point, the fight should have been cancelled. But it wasn't, that’s boxing. At a promotional debate in New York. Hopkins was asked who he thought won the debate; He answered “Who cares, the only thing that matters is who wins the fight.” He also predicts he’ll win by a knockout on this fight

Mike Tyson from the ring to Hollywood

Days before he won a Golden Globe for his involvement in the hit comedy, The Hangover, which earned the award in the Best Comedy category, Mike Tyson returned to the world of wrestling, appearing on WWE’s “Monday Night Raw program as the celebrity guest host.

Tyson participated in a tag-team match, performed some nice wrestling maneuvers, almost came to blows with a dwarf, and ultimately turned against his own partner, knocking out Chris Jericho.

HollyFiel is still goin!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow Hollyfield is still going on, much of his peers were tired or either faded in the air, but he still wants to be in the ring for one more, I do respect as boxer but at his age, I think it is time to draw the towel and hang is boxing gloves forever. Otherwise he will ruin his legacy as champ. George Foreman came back at 38, when he was away over fifteen years from boxing, suprisingly, he fought with younger fighters and captured world title.

Evander Holyfield who is 47-year-old and former heavyweight champion was granted a one fight boxing license by the Nevada State Athletic Commission on Monday. The decision opens the door for Evander to face 41-year-old WBF champ Frans Botha on April 17 at the Orleans Hotel & Casino. Comon Evander.

Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey

It is all about the classic excuse, we heard them before. Let’s face it Mayweather and Pacquiao did not wanted to face each other, not only they disappointed themselves but boxing fans. Each party blaming the other is lame excuse I say. I believe, only the best fighter can claim the number one spot on the best pound for pound fighter in the world. These two guys do not want to go down as second in boxing lightweight history. Instead of proving to the boxing fans who is the best, they started war of words, let’s get in the ring and then the action will speed louder.
