Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales on Saturday


On Nov. 18, Manny Pacquiao and Erik Morales will face each other for the 3rd time in a bout dubbed 'The Grand Finale'. Having won one fight each against each other in the past, this fight is one that a lot of boxing afficionados are waiting to watch. Not just Filipinos or Mexicans but anybody who just like boxing. Manny in the past few years have attained a superstar status in the whole international boxing community and he is already being considered one of the best pound for pound boxers right now. Yesterday's Miami Herald had an article about the fight and for the first time as far as I can remember, this is their first article about Pacquiao. Click here to read it.

Although Manny is very much 'seeded' to win this fight according to the betting odds in Las Vegas, I hope he really wins this one and make it really astounding. Still, this is not going to be a 'walk in the park' for Manny. Any boxer can win with the proverbial 'lucky' punch, no matter how skilled his opponent is. Erik Morales is going to be a 'Hall of Famer' someday but so is Manny.
