http://atlanticinternationalpartnershipreviews.com/?p=55It’s the fight the boxing world has been waiting for, and tonight it’s finally going down, as Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao defends his WBO Welterwight title against “Sugar” Shane Mosley in a 12-round championship bout at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Mosley, ranked the No. 3 world contender and boasting a 46-6-1 record with 39 knockouts in his career, officially weighed in 147 pounds. Pacquiao, the undisputed No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world and sporting a record of 52-3-2 with 38 knockouts in his career, weighed in at 145 pounds.
Pacquiao has torn a path of destruction en route to his status as Welterweight champ of the world, as he hasn’t lost a fight since 2005 and has notched a belt in a record eight weight classes. In his most recent bout last November against Antonio Margarito, Pacquiao walked away with a unanimous decision in a fight that should probably not have gone the distance, as evidenced by Margarito’s pummeled face and fractured orbital bone.
