THE biggest fight before the year is out and it features a legend, who has overcome personal impediments in his rise to unprecedented stardom versus a leaving legend out to salvage what?s left of his once rosy ringdom.
The upmarket MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas is where a compelling third meeting between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Marquez will be staged on Nov. 12, with the world boxing organization welterweight crown on the line.
Here is a rousing rubber bout that has drawn interest among fight fans, owing to the heatedly discussed drawn match and the rematch that gave rise to an endless rant of fraud by the loser. (Split decision winner Pacquiao)
Since lacing up more than 15 years ago in his pitiless business, the boxing congressman has gained all of the people?s support as attested to by Nigel Collins? latest editorial of the revered bible of boxing:
?Undoubtedly, the brightest light of the first decade of the 21st century has been Manny Pacquiao. It?s hard to imagine where the sport would be without his star power. Perhaps unwisely, we have come to rely on Pacquiao to elevate the sport to dizzying heights. But even this Filipino Atlas cannot support the boxing world on his shoulders indefinitely.?
Right you are Nigel–tireless Ring Magazine editor in chief, who?s had his share of troubling hassles when covering some of Manny?s fights.
Case in point. A notorious subaltern blocks Nigel en route to where Pacman wanted a chat with the boys after the Pacquiao-Joshua Clottey weigh-in at Dallas,Texas
Why this genius did it is beyond me, but I can explicitly hint as to his identity — he figured in the disappearance of a quarter of a million dollar tax rebate of the congressman from their joint bank account.
Tata Nigel as the mad, maid-chasing ex-governor would explain.
Hasta la vista, baby!
