Pacquiao/Morales II - This Satruday!! Don't miss this one!!!!

I had the opportunity to watch the first matchup of these two fighters last may. The first fight ended up in a draw after Pacquiao had knocked down Morales early in the bout and dominated the fight from there. To me, the outcome of this fight, a draw, is a prime example of everything that is WRONG in boxing today. Pacquiao clearly won the fight yet it ended in a draw.

If this match isn't on Pay-per-view, I'll probably hole up in a bar with my trusty laptop and do a write up about it.

This bout should be one of the better matches of the year and probably one of the biggest for some time to follow. If you like to watch a good boxing match, check this one out. If the first match is an indication of what's to come, you all are in for a treat!
