Manny Pacquiao looking to stage future bout in Hawaii

‘Pacman’ set to visit islands after Marquez bout


According to local reports in Hawaii, WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is considering fighting on the islands in one of his remaining four fights in 2012 or 2013 before he steps away from the sport.

The 32 year-old was slated by Bob Arum in the summer to have five fights left and with his first of those bouts being Juan Manuel Marquez on November 12th in Las Vegas, it leaves the ‘Pacman’ with two fights a year until retirement two years from now.

Hawaii News Now have printed today that Pacquiao may visit the United States’ ‘50th State’ in late November to view some possible venues for a world title bout, provided his can beat the Mexican challenger for the second time in their third meeting next month.

Pacquiao has a loyal following on the islands and is already pencilled in to meet the Mayor and attend a fundraiser at the Hitlon Hawaiian Village if the Filipino legend emerges victorious at the MGM Grand.

The eight-time champion last visited in March 2010 when he partied with fans after the cancellation of The Manny Pacquiao Hawaii Concert Celebration and is now set to return later this year.

David Haye has two months until license runs out

‘Hayemaker’ has until December to agree Vitali bout

Former two-weight world champion David Haye has less than two months to decide on whether a final fight against WBC champion Vitali Klitschko is worth his while after announcing his intention to the BBBC not to renew his boxing license.

Haye, who turns 31 tomorrow, is licensed to box by the British Board until December this year and would need to extend this license in order to meet Klitschko, 40, in a challenge for the WBC title in February or March next year.

Klitschko’s manager Bernd Boente has already stated that a press conference to announce the fight would have to be in place shortly after Vitali’s brother Wladimir defends his collection of belts against former Haye foe Jean-Marc Mormeck on December 10th in Dusseldorf and before Christmas.

That gives Haye just under two months to agree to what is rumoured to be a significantly lower offer than when he lost to Wladimir in the summer as the Londoner has no world title to bargain with and is in need of redemption following the failure to back up his pre-fight words in Hamburg.

Any agreed fight will take place at a football stadium with a roof in Germany and all other possible venues seem to have been ruled out by Sauerland.

Hopkins and De La Hoya preview Dawson clash

BERNARD HOPKINS, WBC & Ring Magazine Light Heavyweight World Champion

"Being 46 and sexy with the body of a 25-year-old? I think that is pretty impressive.

"I can predict I will win this fight. How I win will come out this Saturday night.

"I want the best Chad Dawson on Saturday night.

"He has to come out in character and not be the Dawson that he has been for many of his fights. The name doesn't match the last three or four outcomes. When you have the name 'Bad' and you're not Michael Jackson, you have to be able to own that. They call me 'The Executioner' for a reason.

"I have no problem putting the title on the line. This is what I do.

"I don't know if Dawson is hungry. He says he is.

"The past is the past and tomorrow is unknown. On Saturday night, I want to put another page in the history book of my career.

"If I am still going to compete and be the best in the division, and part of the conversation of the best in boxing, then this fight is the next step.

"Every now and then an athlete comes along and does something different than those before him or her. It takes guts to be different.

"I don't go into camp needing to lose 20-30 pounds. I don't need to get into physical shape. I am a health and wellness guy. This is part of my lifestyle. It is automatic to me to be ready to fight. My engine is always running.

"It takes me a round or two until I know exactly what I have to do in a fight. You can't overstudy a test, so your natural instincts have to be your guide. The great athletes always adjust. I don't care what sport it is, only an elite athlete can do that.

"You have to be strong. It's easy for me to look at adversity and temptation and not even have an urge. It isn't a struggle. That isn't me. That is part of my longevity.

"The difference in this fight is that I am fighting Chad Dawson who has plenty of credentials. He believes he is the guy to beat me. I have to win to prove him wrong. The problem is whether or not he means what he believes.

"I am a pretty good dancer, but if my dance partner steps on my feet, it will make me look bad. If Dawson is ready to dance, then it will be a good fight. It could be the 'Fight of the Year.'

"I am knocking on the door of being the oldest 'Fighter of the Year' ever. I have a chance to seal that deal this Saturday night on pay-per-view.

"I always have a motivation. Something to push me to win and that motivation is to become the oldest 'Fighter of the Year.' It puts pressure on the writers, 90 percent of whom are 40 and up. I want to put a bug in their ear that I am trying to make history on that front.

"I never operate well when I am the favorite in a fight. I like being the underdog. I think that is the reason a lot of people want to watch. I am not surprised I am the underdog.

"This is a new movement in my career. Am I the underdog because of my age or because of my resume? It must be my age, because I know can't be the resume.

"I am 12-1 against southpaws, arugably 13-0 with the Calzaghe fight. I am a right handed fighter which is death to a southpaw.

"I am fighting someone taller than me for the first time in almost 10 years.

"I might have little in my favor, but I will win on Saturday night."

OSCAR DE LA HOYA, President of Golden Boy Promotions

"As every fight goes by, I think Hopkins gets better and better and is demonstrating to everyone that he is going to be around a long time.

"Bernard Hopkins has faced them all. He has fought every style, every adversity. Everything they put in front of him, he leaps over. He is our bionic man.

"You have to look up to Hopkins and what he is doing at his age.

"The beauty about Hopkins is that fighters usually have one, maybe two styles. He has a plan C, D and E.

"Hopkins is able to adapt to any style. He is a chameleon in the ring and that is dangerous for any opponent.

"It doesn't surprise me that Hopkins wants to fight the best. He is the best that I faced in my career."

Manny Paquiao breaks camp today, head next to Los Angeles

Pacquiao left Baguio city his favorite training ground in the Philippines for the final tuning and intense training in the famous Wild Card gym in Los Angeles.

Before he departs Pacquiao spar with former champion Jorge Linares, according to the insider the sparring session is really a war. Pacquiao is known to give his sparring partner free shots and he allowed Linares to hit him while orchestrating his fast footwork and jabs.

Though Pacquiao is happy in his Baguio camp, he did not reach the form he wants to be to be able to win against his fiercest rival Juan Manuel Marquez. Expect Team Pacquiao to speed up Pacquiao’s fighting form in Hollywood.

"Speed and Quickness is the Key"Alex Ariza

According to the strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza, there is no change of strategy for Pacquiao against his fiercest rival Juan Manuel Marquez. Team Pacquiao still investing on speed and quickness on their training regimen in Baguio city. Ariza said that it will carry Pacquiao to victory that he been using to destroy his opponents.

Though Marquez is the smarter fighter, he believed during fight time Pacquiao will overwhelm with blinding speed from weird angles. And would love to Pacquiao to make a statement by stopping Marquez this time.
