Tonight is night! Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito <--- thats actually a pretty dope last name. Kinda reminds me of Entourage and the episode about Avion Tequila. Ok ok a lil side tracked, but wow tonight is gonna be a big night. If you guys havent seen the history so far between these two men or have seen 24/7 over the past couple of weeks or as I like to call it the "sparknotes" version of just knowing the history behind these two men, then sucks for you. If your like any filipino in the world right now, then I'm sure you know what Pacquiao has been through over the past couple of years or atleast the last couple of months. If you arent like any other filipino, then you prolly arent filipino, but if you are filipino, then you should atleast know the jist of his accomplishments. So far Pacquiao has gone from fighting at 112lbs to become the WBC Flyweight World Champion (2008) then has eaten a whole lotta filipino food each time to become the IBF Junior Featherweight Champion, Super Featherweight Champion, Junior Lightweight Champion, Lightweight Champion, then Junior Welterweight Champion, and now WBO Welterweight Champion at 147lbs. Fuh Im surprised dude hasnt gotten a car-jack arrest (<--sound it out) from all the filipino food! But anyways, with all those accomplishments and being at the top, you just hope he still has the motivation to fight like he is the underdog. Well actually he kinda is the underdog because he stands about 4-5 inches shorter than Margarito. Besides the height difference, you just hope that all that politics and fame hasnt gotten his head floating him up to the sky. As for Margarito, he suffered a huge controvery in his fight against Shane Mosley back in 2009 in regards to his handwrapping, so he was suspended for a year. Though he hasnt actually been away from boxing from that year, he's been away from boxing in the US. So now he has a chip on his shoulder. Winning this fight could ultimately completely wipe out that whole controvery that happened in 2009 and can very well put him right on the top.
All questions and uncertainties end tonight. Will Pacquiao continue to beat the bigger and heavier guys? Or are the distractions too much for him to handle, that it can cost him the fight? Will a victory tonight erase the 2009 controvery for Margarito? Or will this completely toss his name down the drain?
