(NEWSTABULOUS) – After an interview from CNN.com, Manny Pacquiao declared that tomorrow is his night and he is 100% prepared for the upcoming match against Shane Mosley.
The match between Pacquiao vs Mosley is for the World Boxing Organization’s welterweight bout.
Manny Pacquiao vs Shane Mosley Start Time, Schedule:
The main bout of the biggest fight of 2011 will be held tomorrow, May 7 at Las Vegas. The scheduled start time of the preliminary rounds is 8 pm EST, while the main bout is expected to begin at 10 pm EST.
Also holding the World Boxing crown, the People’s Champ, Manny Pacquiao says that he has prepared rigorously, even saying that his training for the Mosley fight tops every single one, most especially his preparations for when he beat Oscar de la Hoya in 2008. He said:
“I trained hard for this fight because I never underestimate Mosley and I consider him a good fighter and a tough opponent for me.”
Though a lot of people are banking on Pacquiao to rule the fight, Mosley should not be counted out. He is the former World Boxing Association welterweight super champion, winning three weight divisions, and beating even de la Hoya in 2003.
Pacquiao is getting a lot of attention, especially after he claimed 10 world titles, in eight different divisions with his record of 52-3-2 and 38 knockouts.
What’s good about this match is that despite the intense rivalry, trash talk interactions have been pretty minimal between Pacquiao-Mosley, as both intend on giving a clean fight for the people.
“We’re going to do our job to make people happy and our concern is what fight we can give to the people…We want people satisfied on Saturday.”
Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley Weigh In
Mosley to the scale first. Smattering of applause and jeers. Looks good. Lennon announces Shane Mosley weighs in at 147 pounds.
Pacquiao up now. Good reaction. He flexes for the crowd, which gets a pop. Manny Pacquiao weighs in at 145 pounds. Big "Man-ny!" cheer goes up.
Gentle staredown. They shake and embrace.
Atlas notes that Mosley's "skin looks good" and that he isn't "ashy." Also noted that Mosley didn't grab immediately for liquids, so he thinks the cut went well.
The weigh-ins (and tomorrow night's fight) are taking place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pacquiao and Mosley will fight at the welterweight (147 lb.) limit, with Pacquiao's WBO welterweight title up for grabs.
Pacquiao is 52-3-2 and the current WBC Super Welterweight World Champion and the WBO Welterweight World Champion. He is the first boxer to win the lineal title in four separate weight classes. He hasn't lost since Erik Morales took a unanimous decision over him in March of 2005, and he obliterated Antonio Margarito over twelve rounds in Cowboys Stadium in November.
Mosley is 46-6-1 with 1 no contest. He drew with Sergio Mora in his last fight in September. He dropped an uncompetitive decision to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in May of 2010, with his last victory coming over Antonio Margarito by TKO in January of 2009.
Go Pacman! You are the one and only Filipinos Pride.
