Manny Pacquaio In His Seventh Title

It was in MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas wherein people were seated in all the 17,157 seats to watch boxing history in the making with Filipino pride Manny Pacquiao having 49 won with 37 by knockout-3 lost-2 draws trying to grab Puerto Rican boxer Miguel Angel Cotto's 34 won with 27 knockouts-1 lost-0 draws WBO Welterweight title.

No one could underestimate Manny Pacquiao for his boxing prowess. At the third and fourth round, he was able to bring Miguel Angel Cotto down literally. He made history when at the12th round, Miguel Angel Cotto no longer fought for his title. He was too tired to continue the fight when it is almost done. Another notable part of the bout is when Miguel Cotto failed to stay alert to defend himself for the aggressive take-over of Manny Pacquaio in the ring from the seventh to the twelfth round. Besides, Miguel Cotto played with dignity and courage as he tried to reach the last round as much as he could do. He was just stopped by the referee when it was evident that he could no longer defend himself. Miguel Cotto also showed so much respect with Manny Pacquaio by embracing the latter after he lost his title to the boxing champ. Compared to Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto did not show so much arrogance prior to the bout and during the bout.

Miguel Angel Cotto is more powerful than Manny Pacquiao but the latter is faster than him. Manny Pacquiao was able to display his systematic and timed punches with ease and at the same time using his speed to dodge Miguel Angel Cotto. As atated, referee Kenny Bayless closed the stint in the 12th round when he observed that Miguel Angel Cotto was no longer fighting. Finally, the said fight meant everything to Manny Pacquiao as it served as the inauguration of a new-fangled record no Asian boxer has ever achieved until now, that is to win seven world titles in seven different weight divisions such as Flyweight, Super Bantamweight, Featherweight, Super Featherweight, Lightweight, Light Welterweight and Welterweight.

On the first to the third round, Miguel Cotto tried to parry with the way Manny Pacquaio execute his own game plan. Earlier, Miguel Cotto's camp boasted of a game plan that would eventually topple Manny Pacquaio. But it seems that Miguel Cotto's game plan is not enough to scare aware the pound for pound champion. During the press conference, Miguel Cotto's camp, specifically his coach wished good luck to Manny Pacquaio like "Good luck Manny, you will need more of that during the bout", which was attacked by the contender with much humility. Yet, Cotto made a good fight during the bout. Besides, he did not show any hint of arrogance and over-confidence.

There were also reports that the people who were watching the bout chanted that Manny Pacquiao's next target should be Floyd Mayweather Jr. However, Manny Pacquaio never confirmed such request for his own opinion. He just enjoyed his latest win and prepared for the after-fight concert that he is excited about.

Life and Writing

Writing is my way of expressing my thoughts and opinion especially when I felt like I need to share them. It is also one way of sending messages to other people the things that I do not like and the things that I am fond of. Maybe, I was carrying a pen the day I was born because there are times that I could get sick when I failed to write. That's a joke, of course! Well, I learned many things since the day I signed up for a writing job.

The experiences made me a better person, a better blogger, and a better researcher. I am hoping a raise for my salary though for the coming year because I felt it is just and right. It is true that I earned a lot through writing. I wrote about travel, fashion and food. These topics are my favorite. I also wrote about pool parties and featured many Cavite resorts. It's really fun!

I am glad that I did not give up on writing. When I was in college, I promised myself to hone my writing skills in whatever way available. People would comment that writers are not really paid well. But when Internet surfing became a hit, that statement became moot and academic. I am not really good in grammar, I admit that. But sometimes, when you were born as a writer, things will fall in the right places. Yes, I am clever. I used all possible means to study all emotions that a person could express. These emotions really steam from falling in love up to the time when poverty and hunger breaks a heart. Yes, that is true. The complexity of the society actually revolves around eating and loving. Right? Feel the air. You will feel alright when you are loved. Listen to your heart, you will know that you are alright when you are not hungry. Strange but true. It is our survival that we understand the meaning of life. We struggle. Yes.
