[GuyJean]

Yeah, I know. It's NJR, but it IS on Japanese television!.. and the boards seem sleepy this Sunday morning..

Getting ready for the Pacquiao vs Cotto fight at noon. Should be a good one... See if Manny has kept his speed after gaining so much weight to fight in this class.

Pacquiao Win Makes Boxing History
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/boxing/8354578.stm

Filipino star Manny Pacquiao became the first boxer in history to win seven world titles in seven weight divisions by beating Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas.

He stopped his Puerto Rican opponent in the 12th round of their WBO welterweight clash.

Pacquiao, 30, dominated throughout and had Cotto down in the third and fourth rounds with his fierce left hook doing the damage.

Referee Kenny Bayless stopped the fight 55 seconds into the final round.

"I tried my best to knock him out," Pacquiao said.

"I thought in 11th round they would stop the fight. I am surprised he continued to fight."

Cotto's face was swollen, blood was flowing from his nose and his cuts, and he simply could not stop Pacquiao from bouncing inside and throwing both hands at will.

"I didn't know from where the punches were coming," Cotto said.
"Manny Pacquiao is one of the best boxers I ever fought."

Pacquiao's victory sees him confirm his status as the world's best pound-for-pound boxer and takes his record to 50 wins, three defeats and two draws with 38 knockouts.

The win over 29-year-old Cotto also sets up the possibility of a mouth-watering clash with unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr...

Pacquiao outclassed Clottey last night. That fight was so one-sided as to be boring I daresay.

Pacquiao was throwing 5, 6 punch combinations to every one punch by Clottey. Gotta admit that Clottey absorbed a massive amount of punishiment better than any of Pacquiao's previous opponents.

Pacquiao f*cked up Antionio Margarito at Cowboy Stadium...again against a bigger man, this time some one who was five inches taller and 17lbs heavier. Margarito's face looked like it got ran over by a truck.

Definitely the best fighter of the decade, if not of all time.

Freddie Roach, Manny Pacquiao's trainer, said he believed that Antonio Margarito's trainer, Robert Garcia, should have stopped the fight in the eighth or the ninth round. Pacquiao was landing countless hard shots on Saturday night at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. By the twelfth round, both of Margarito's eyes were nearly swollen shut, his face was badly swollen and he sustained several bad cuts.

The punishment was enough to make Pacquiao pull back on his punches in the final two rounds. Roach believes the beating was so brutal that Margarito may never fight again.

"I thought for sure that he would quit, but he has a lot of balls. But I truly, truly think that your job as a trainer is to protect your fighter. His corner, they should have saved him. He'll probably never fight again. He took too many unnecessary punches and too much unnecessary punishment. That was too much punishment to me," said Roach.

Roach has witnessed Pacquiao dish out a lot of punishment over the years, but the fight with Margarito was the most brutal beating that he ever saw his Filipino champion execute. Roach doesn't understand why Garcia allowed the punishment to continue in those last couple of rounds.

"After eight rounds, it was over, and it was just a matter of time. This is the worst beating I've ever seen Manny give to a fighter, accumulation-wise, number of punches landed, I mean, he took a lot of shots," said Roach. "I know that he's a very resilient guy, and he's a tough guy who has no quit in him, but the corner man is supposed to protect his fighter, and sometimes, you have to make those decisions. I don't know why they didn't stop the fight."

Pacquiao is about to fight Marquez in a couple of hours. This should be a great fight. Juan Manuel Marquez is the only fighter that ever gave Manny trouble during his ascendance as an 8 division champion. This is shiet is personal for both boxers.

Pacquiao is heavily favored...and rightfully so.
