What do you think?

Another epic trilogy is brewing between the Philippines and Mexico. It is maybe between again the future hall of fame candidate Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and Juan Manuel " Dinamita " Marquez which have a tentative date of November 12, 2011. According to local press here,Pacman is set to fight for a third serving his arch nemesis from Mexico City. It was told that the former Mexican boxing champ already inked a deal with Bob Arum's Top Rank Promotions a couple of days ago for a third and decisive boxing bout with Pacquiao that will be held again at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Marquez, 37, it was said that he will receive a guaranteed prize pot of $5 million plus an unspecified share in the pay-per-view buys. He will also receive $10 million plus a share in the pay-per-view in case Pacquiao will lose in that fight and if a rematch will be possible. The deal is almost complete and just waiting for the signature of Pacquiao to beformalized.

It is a little bit clear now that another encounter between the prize fighting greats will happens this year. And as we all now, Marquez is really looking forward for more than two years now to have another crack at Pacquiao. And with that in mind the mexican tried to fight Mayweather Jr. but unfortunately he losed which hindered his plan to fightPacman again.

For me, it may be a very exciting boxing fight to watch if the bout between Pacman and Pretty Boy Floyd will materialized. But since we have seen all the antics and craps of Mayweather Jr. that fight might not happen at all. Since there is no one to fight Pacman, Marquez will be a good challenge for the Filipino boxing icon.

For you, do you want to see another Pacquiao-Marquez bout?

Well, the choice is all yours.

In a flash, the reign of one of the greatest bantamweight fighters in the world ended in a very dramatic fashion when the former World Boxing Council (WBC) and World Boxing Organization (WBO) bantamweight champion, Fernando "Cochulito" Montiel (44W, 3L, 34KO) was knocked- downed by Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire Jr. (25W, 1L, 18KO) in the second round of their  championship bout yesterday morning ( yesterday night in Las Vegas).


Donaire, a native of Talibon, Bohol in the Philipppines, showed his class and pounded Montiel from start to finish with beautiful shots and graceful footwork which disrupted the Mexican Fighter's game plan. Donaire dominated the fight and prevented Montiel give any kind of momentum at all. In that one-sided fight, it is very clear that Donaire is the much better fighter than Montiel and together with that edge as well as the combination of determination, patience and smart plays, the Mexican was not able to do any damase at all to Donaire. Speed and power is the key for the total domination of the Filipino fighter over the much experienced champion.

The fight was finally decided when Montiel was not able to fought back Donaire's barrage of punches after the Mexican suffered a devastating knock-out earlier in that fight. Donaire landed a solid left hook counter on Montiel's head sending the Mexican down like a hot potato, the same punch that knocked-out  former champion Vic Darchinyan four years ago (also check the Donaire vs. Darchinyan Fight).


Donaire's boxing skills, smart plays and physical features enabled him to snatch the two titles from the hands of Montiel and because of that excellent performance of Donaire, many boxing experts are know saying that he will be the next  Manny Pacquiao. And with his performance right now, definitely he his the only Filipino fighter that can match Pacquiao's legacy.Nonito Donaire Jr., he will definitely be the next Manny Pacqiuao.


Congratulations Nonito Donaire Jr.

The Pride of the Filipino People.
The pride of the Philippines.
