Blog From Cebu To The World

Pacquiao vs Cotto round by round results as imagined by this blogger. The fight will happen in less than 10 days so be sure to watch Pacquiao vs Cotto live on your PC, TV or in the nearest movie theatre. (Tickets at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas might have been sold out already, so you better watch it on pay-per-view). I don’t mind whatever prediction you have on your brains right now. This one is mine, and I am enjoying myself as I typed the words for this post.

A lot of bloggers had been posting about the Pacquiao-De La Hoya fight even long before the scheduled bout. Some had titles anticipating the results. Whatever their motives are, they have their own say about it. Some are just posting announcements, with keywords enough to be captured by the search engines. There are others who had their predictions and analysis, like these two below:

For Oscar De La Hoya

Selaplana.com – “.. if we will look at the advantages of the Golden Boy like his height, weight, reach and experience, I think, Manny has the higher percentage of losing this game.”

This is not a sports blog, but it does not mean that I will not write about sports. I will, especially if its concerns the most famous Filipino athlete today: Manny Pacquiao, current WBC Lightweight Champion. He is scheduled to fight Oscar De La Hoya, the famous Golden Boy, and champion of six different weight classes, on December 6, 2008 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. They will fight at the welterweight limit of 147 lbs.

UPDATE: Pacquiao won via TKO at the end of round8. It was such a mismatch, contradicting the predictions of many boxing experts. I was shocked to see De La Hoya moving so slow, making an easy target of the strong punches of the Pacman.

I’m sure the sports scribes and even the lowliest of fans already had some sort of predictions and analysis forming in their minds. So, who do you think will win this fight? What is your fight results prediction?

Oscar Beats Manny

Update: Manny Pacquiao Wins Over David Diaz on a 9th Round Knock-out

Manny unleashed powerful hooks and power punches from the beginning till he knocked down the solid David Diaz in the 9th round. It was absolutely a massacre as Pacman appears unscathed while his bloodied foe could no longer hold his ground. It is once again a celebration for Manny Pacquiao, his fans and the whole of the Philippines. Mabuhay ka Manny!

——
The Pacquiao vs Diaz fight results will be known on Sunday, June 29, 2008 (RP Time). Those from the US will know the results on Saturday, June 28, 2008. Of course it does not mean that viewers from a certain region get the news first, given the same live coverage offered by pay per view operators.

Zero crime rate is anticipated on the hours Pacquiao fights Diaz. As usual, traffic will be light. Everyone here in the Philippines is expecting better results from Manny Pacquiao as compared to his previous fight. On the cornerside of Diaz, they too are expecting results similar to the miracle that brought the downfall of Erik Morales. David Diaz has to bring out his best.
