ANOTHER VICTORY FOR MANNY "PACMAN" PACQUIAO

The duel between the two great boxers Pacquiao and Margarito was really exciting. Although things did not happened as expected by boxing fans that there would be a knockout in the fight, both fighters showed their strengths and will to win the WBC title.
The bout lasted for 12 rounds and Manny Pacquiao brings home his 8th title after winning the WBC superwelterweight title. He makes another history in boxing.
Let us admit the fact that a lot of Filipinos were at first scared that Pacman couldn't win against Margarito who is much taller and with 6 inch longer reach but he proves them wrong when he dominated Margarito all over the 12 rounds of the fight and won with unanimous decision. With his boxing skills and speed, Manny he rocked the Tijuana Tornado.  Margarito wanted to pin Manny on the rope but Pacquiao, with his speed, always manages to escape and everytime Pacman did this, he has a suprising combination to counter against Margarito.  The fight was so intense that it made Mrs. Dionisia Pacquiao, the mother of Manny suffered from anxiety attack but was now fine.  Filipino boxing fanatics cheered everytime Pacman landed his powerful punches on Margarito. Pacquiao admitted that battling against the "Tijuana Tornado" was very hard.
Pacman slowed down after seeing Margarito's condition. Pacquiao even told when interviewed that he was waiting for the referee to stop the fight. Also in a separate  interview to Roberto Garcia, the Mexican's trainer, he admitted that he already wanted to throw the towel to stop the fight but believes that his boxer could still make it as he is a tough boxer and a brawler.

Margarito's face became a mess after the bout. His eyes were almost close, blood were on his face from the big cut under the right eye.
Filipinos pride Manny Pacquiao, once again proved that he is indeed the best pound per pound boxer in the world.

Pacquiao only suffered minor bruises and swollen fist after the fight while Margarito had to seek medical attention as his right has right had swollen too bad after receiving powerful punches. The Mexican boxer undergoes an MRI and result shows that he had a fractured orbital bone under his right eye. He would have to go on a surgery but not until the inflammation had subside.
Btw, to all boxing fans there, watch out for the upcoming Marquez-Katsidis fight this November 27. (Juan Manuel Marquez will be fighting against Australian boxer Michael Katsidis).
Congratulations Manny Pacquiao for the victory!! Who would be his next challenger? Would he be finally facing Floyd Mayweather jr. or will he retire?

When asked on tweeter to confirm the gossips about him going to Miami Heat, LeBron just asked his followers to click on his link which will redirect you to his official homepage, there you would see a big message on the left that says : "Next year, I will be playing for The Miami Heat. I would like to thank all of my fans for supporting me and I am looking forward to seeing you guys next season as I chase the NBA Championship." It was last Thursday, (July 8) when he had exercised his contractual rights. In Miami Heat, he will be playing with his friend Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh who has been his mates during the Olympics as the USA Team's All-Stars. Like James,  Bosh will also leave Toronto Raptors for Miami.  It was rumored that the Three had long been planning to play as team mates. Wade says it was the fact that Bosh will be coming over to Miami that made him stay. He was also quoted saying that he would only be staying on his team if  Miami Heat would lured either James or Bosh to South Florida. Finally, all of this are confirmed and the three will be playing as team mates on the Heat next season.

above are pictures of the trio at the Heat Summer of 2010 Welcome Event at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida last July 9. Miami would now be "Dwyane Wade’s House,” “LeBron James’ Kingdom,” and “Bosh’s Pit,”
