Manny Pacquiao Defeated Shane Mosley

May 8, 2011 // No Comments »

Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao defeated Sugar Shane Mosley on their fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, giving Pacman his 14th win in a row. On Round 3, Mosley was knocked down by Pacman but he wasn’t knocked out. It was the first time he was knocked down in his entire boxing career and it was in Manny Pacquiao’s punch. Mosley throws body punches on Pacman but Pacman’s remains still. On round 9, Pacquiao and Mosley accidentally clashed their heads but none of them were hurt. It was so obvious in round 10 that Mosley pushed down Pacquiao but the referee gives a mandatory count. Pacman then becomes agressive and shows his best punches. The fight lasted 12 rounds but the Pound-for-pound King Manny Pacquiao defended his title as the WBO Welterweight Champion and wins by unanimous decision. Again, Manny Pacquiao made the Filipinos proud. I wonder who will be his next opponent… I am hoping that Mayweather will have the guts to fight him…
