Margarito Returns, Pacquiao vs. Mayweather Dead

After several weeks of buzzing around the net about the possibility of Pacquiao vs. Mayweather, it ended with a great disappointment for all boxing fans around the world as the fight will not happen this year. This is when Bob Arum decided to choose Antonio Margarito to fight with Manny Pacquiao on November 13, 2010 instead of the undefeated Manny Mayweather Jr. This is his response to Mayweather's inability to agree with the terms and conditions in fighting the pound for pound king.

The return of the mexicutioner Margarito is an evidence of the possibility that his license will be returned. If that happens the fight Pacquiao vs. Margarito will happen in Las Vegas Nevada. However, Arum already have a plan if in case he wasn't able to gain back his license to fight and that is one of their option is to hold the fight in Mexico.

Well, I love to see Pacquiao vs. Mayweather but this seems to be an impossible dream for everyone to imagine. As long as Mayweather is afraid to loose his fight against Pacquiao there will be no megafight between them. I don't know if Margarito can keep up with Pacquiao, well let see what happens with this fight.

To Mayweather, "BOOOH!!!!"

Watch Concepcion vs. Lopez Live Online on July 10

Another very interesting boxing event will be happening this Saturday on July 10, 2010 and the undefeated WBO featherweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez (28-0, 25 KO’s) will be meeting the young Filipino challenger, Bernabe Concepcion (28-3-1, 15 KO’s) at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico to defend his currently featherweight title. This Lopez vs. Concepcion match is dubbed as "The Challenge" and will be airing on local television channels in the Philippines (and I think even in Puerto Rico) and can be watched live online.

It is Lopez is the predicted to be winner as he is considered to be moving and fighting much faster than the young challenger. However, it is still unknown as Concepcion might deliver a great upset to the Puerto Rican and make the first defeat for the fast and furious Juan Manuel Lopez.
