The response to this has been overwhelming. :facepalm: At least there's three of us watching the fight.

Anyways I'm excited and here is a link to the five victories that made Pac Man great. Essential viewing....enjoy:

Margarito has been under enormous pressure and faced near-constant scrutiny since the fight was signed earlier this year. Pacquiao, by contrast, has been relaxed and loose. On Wednesday, after a late-night workout, he went into a hotel ballroom and practiced his singing with his band.

He’s so worried about Margarito’s size and power that he’s planning to do a concert on Tuesday for some customers of a Lake Tahoe, Nev., casino.

:biglaugh:


I'm rooting for Pacman!

Some small concerns: Pacquiao is shorter in height by 4.5 inches and in reach by 6.5in

Margarito's gotta be a thinker on this one if he wants a 'chance' to win. He's always been a brute with a 'hulk smash' strategy. Re-think there my friend, or you'll end up on the floor!

The response to this has been overwhelming. :facepalm: At least there's three of us watching the fight.

Make that four

My bad, I seriously don't know where I got 6.5in reach disadvantage come from.... Actually reach difference was only .5in ! Must have been a bad article online

Anyway... WHAT A FIGHT!!!!!!!!! I'll wait til tomorrow to discuss, might have a few fellas on a diff time zone I'd rather not post a spoiler

"Oops! I did it again." Both of them...in their own way! But I like the way Pacman did it again--defeating a Goliath!

Awesome post of those videos, BADWIN...

On Pacquiao... I think there are legit questions about him. This is what they are saying about the Mayweather prospects...

Agreed Ian....what a fight and what a fighter!!! I sure didn't expect it to be as one sided as that. It started a 4am where I am and my eyes were just too tired to watch it live.

I retired to bed at 2am and watched it yesterday evening. Spent the whole of Sunday avoinding the TV, radio and internet although I did manage to squeeze the GP in.

Countit, I can't view that video. When I press play I get the message 'This video is not available in your country.' What's it about in a nutshell?

I guess I missed this thread earlier, but I got the fight as well. Pacman just continues to amaze me. I have no doubt Mayweather will continue to duck him, especially after what Pacquaio did to Margarito! The undercard turned out to be better than expected as well.

I'm really looking forward to Williams/Martinez II next weekend. Their first fight was great.

This forum is terrific. I can talk about watches, guns, and boxing on the same site! If we only had a motorcycle sub-forum I wouldn't ever go anywhere else.
