Pacquaio vs Margarito results

There are two big events that happened today (14 Nov 2010), two history in the making in the sporting occasion. I watched Manny Pacquiao vs Antonio Margarito fight video in pay per view with friends early this morning and I'm sure at this time you already know the result. The fight shows that sometimes height is not a might, more especially in the world of boxing as Pacman brutally demolished the Tijuana Tornado for the vacant WBC super welterweight title, making another history by capturing his 8th title in as many weight class. Pacquaio moved up in weight again to take on Margarito, who is a natural welterweight already, in a catch up weight of 150 lbs yet the speed and power of Pacquaio never diminished and Margarito took the beating all night. And that's what made the difference.

Pacquaio vs Margarito results defy many aspects of disadvantages like the 4 1/2 inches in height, the 6 inch reach and the mere body size itself. It is very evident on the face of Margarito from the start of the 4th round. What struck my attention was Pacquiao's attitude in the 11th round when he kept on looking at the referee and was later known that he already wanted the referee to stop the fight for he don't want Margarito to kept taking such a beating and that's not what boxing is about. Even with all the fame and money he had already, he never forget to have his feet remained on the ground.

If you are wondering what is the second event, you better come back tomorrow and watch for the other spectacular triumph and a brilliant youngest world champion.
