Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley are slated to appear inside the ring for the first time in just a few weeks from now and boxing fanatics are getting agitated to watch Pacquiao vs Mosley online. This is surely the most awaited match this year and one of the most talked about fights in years, after the bout of Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. did not push through. Bob Arum, chief of Top Rank Promotions then picked another fighter for his most prized ward. Although there were other names that were being chosen, he picked Mosley as Pacquiao's next opponent.
At first, Freddie Roach, Pacquiao's long time coach, was a staunch protester of the match up saying that there was no point of having Pacquiao meet Mosley inside the ring. But given that Arum is one of the best salesmen in the business; he was able to persuade the Hall of Fame coach. Arum then met with Mosley's camp and they agreed to have the two go head to head in the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 7. Pacquiao is slated to defend for the second time his WBO Welterweight World title in 1a 12-round fight.
In an interview with Arum, he told reporters on why should fans watch Pacquiao vs Mosley online. He said, "We came to the meeting of the minds. Bruce Temple says it's a very difficult fight. I believe it will be an exciting fight. Shane knows how to fight and how to deal with the speed. Manny is in for a hellacious fight. I really believe styles make fights." Temple is the Top Rank matchmaker, and they met in Las Vegas to talk about the bout. The two are going to meet at the welterweight limit of 147 pounds.
Mosley has been taking some flak from some of the critics because they believe that he is past his prime. The upcoming bout is said to be going to be one-sided. The 39-year old boxer has been performing poorly in his last two bouts. He was previously defeated by Floyd Mayweather, Jr. via unanimous decision. Mosley said, "I hurt Floyd in our fight, but he's a great fighter and has great defense."He later met Sergio Mora, but the fight ended with a draw via split decision. But Sugar Shane told reporters, "What can I do about Mora? Do you really think that was a draw? Come on. I won that fight. He ran from me all night."
He then told them that people should watch Pacquiao vs Mosley fight online because he thinks that their style is going to match and it will be an exciting fight to catch. He said, "But Pacquiao? Come on, man. I'm a bigger guy than him and he gets hit. And you saw how I hurt Floyd. Manny is going to come forward and I will hit him on the chin at some point. His defense is not like Floyd's. Manny will come at me, and I will knock him out." So, will he really be able knockout the current pound for pound king?
