Manny Pacquiao wins WBO Welterweight Title

The overwhelming force better known as Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto has finally put an end to the most controversial fight in the boxing history.

Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao, 30, from the Philippines, fights to become the first boxer to ever win his seventh world title in different divisions. After the victory in six divisions: flyweight (112 pounds), super bantamweight (122 lb), featherweight (126 lb), super featherweight (130 lb), lightweight (135 lb) and light welterweight (140 lb), the southpaw finally got his seventh after defeating Cotto in their fight for the welterweight division.

The Puerto Rico pride Miguel Cotto, 29, who was rumored to have difficulty making the weight limit, ends the hearsay, proudly facing the opponent with his 145-pound weight. Cotto has 34 wins, 2 loss, and 27 Knockout Wins and is out to have his 2nd title defense.

There was also some reports that Miguel is some kind of a trash-talker calling Pacquiao’s trainer, Coach Roach, an a* hole during the weigh-in. According to Cotto, “Manny picked the wrong person, the wrong moment”. Now, it looks like it’s the other way around. Meanwhile, Pacquiao, remains in his carefree and humble composure, smiling during interviews.

I just finished watching the fight in the TV and it was a WOW! Manny was remarkable with nice body jobs . Cotto was incredible with his left hand punches. But Manny had the advantage with his breakneck speed and was able to make Cotto fall several times. Pacquiao, despite Cotto's walking away from him, never fails to hit him. By the end of the 12th round, Manny Pacquiao was declared the WBO Welterweight champion.

I was never a fan of boxing, but after watching this game, I started to appreciate what these two warriors are fighting for.
