SAN ANTONIO, Texas – With still a full month left in the year, boxing experts and pundits have sounded in unison that Manny Pacquiao’s masterful boxing clinic Sunday here could very well be boxing’s ?Fight of the Year.?
Back home, there is no doubt that Pacquiao’s ?shock the world? feat could help land him solo ?Athlete of the Year.?
Call it one of the best fights of the new century, too, which could be hard to top.
Pacquiao deviated and completely changed the script many ring experts and even oddsmakers thought would happen – Barrera, the ?Maestro? of 61 professional fights (57 wins), teaching the young upstart Pacquaio a neat boxing lesson.
