[Title] => Three greatest Pinoy fighters
[Summary] => There’s a must-read, one-off boxing magazine that just hit the stores and I was lucky to pick up a copy of the 164-page publication – The Annual 2015 by London’s Boxing News – at a bookstore in the Hong Kong International Airport coming home from Macau the other day.

[Title] => Barrera waiting in wings
[Summary] => Probably the most interested spectator in this weekend’s Manny Pacquiao-Erik Morales fight is Marco Antonio Barrera because he’s likely to face the winner in what could be the biggest non-heavyweight boxing event of the decade.
Barrera was stopped by Pacquiao in November 2003 and has beaten Morales twice in three meetings. He’s the only fighter ever to floor Morales although it was considered a fluke knockdown.

[Title] => Reverse psychology works for Marquez
[Summary] => Now it can be told.
The camp of Juan Manuel Marquez tried to persuade the Nevada State Athletic Commission to retract the appointment of Joe Cortez as referee in the fight against Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas last May 8.
Boxing News editor Claude Abrams revealed that "the Marquez camp was not too happy with the selection of Cortez and made attempts to have the third man–a Puerto Rican–switched because they believed, without foundation, he was biased against Mexican boxers."

[Title] => The best of the best
[Summary] => Nobody shook the foundations of Philippine sports last year more than uncrowned world featherweight boxing champion Manny Pacquiao. He stirred the country to a frenzy and made us all proud to be Filipino.
Pacquiao displayed the grit of a determined warrior, defying the odds, fighting on hostile soil and battling a ring legend who’s destined to be a Hall of Famer. He wasn’t fazed by the intimidating thought of a world-wide audience anticipating his demolition in Marco Antonio Barrera’s hands. He showed no fear and the guts of a big-hearted gladiator.

[Title] => Marquez a dangerous foe vs Pacquiao
[Summary] => There’s a reason why International Boxing Federation (IBF) and World Boxing Association (WBA) featherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez of Mexico is nicknamed "Dinamita."
It’s because he’s such an explosive puncher. He detonates at the sound of the bell. In a pro career that started in 1993, Marquez has posted 33 knockouts in compiling a record of 42-2.

[Title] => Two weeks enough for Pacquiao
[Summary] => Freddie Roach is aware he may be spreading himself too thin. He’s easily the most in-demand professional boxing trainer these days. But not to worry.
