Making History, Breaking Records
What more can you say about the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto that already hasn’t been said about landing on the moon, taking down the Berlin Wall, or inventing the light bulb. OK, maybe it’s a stretch to compare the beat down of Miguel Cotto to the fall of the Berlin Wall, but to Filipinos and boxing fans alike, Saturday night’s victory over the welterweight champion was utterly epic.
It was a fight that solidified Manny’s place in the upper echelon of boxing’s greats, from Jack Johnson to Sugar Ray Robinson to Muhammad Ali. It was a fight that placed Manny into America’s conscience and media mainstream. It was a fight that unified an entire island country, stopping all crime, and helped forget the recent tragedies that befell them in the past few months. It was a fight that topped all fights.
So why bother adding more cliches and unnecessary text into an indescribable event. Let’s look at video highlights from the fight along with photos:

Las Vegas, NV: Manny Pacquiao won his 7th division world title fight with a magnificent TKO over a very strong and tough Miguel Cotto.
But he did not escape unscratched.
“Cotto’s punches hurt but I just pretended they did not so as to discourage him” Pacquiao was quoted as saying.
After the 12-round fight, Cotto was taken to the hospital upon advice of the Nevada Athletic Commission as a pre-cautionary measure for routine full body scan. Thankfully, it was announced later that his is fine and will box again another day.
Pacquiao did not have to go but he stayed at the dressing room for several minutes to be attended by a plastic surgeon. Bob Arum indicated that they had to “drain some blood from his right ear to prevent the so called “cauliflower” effect that is prevalent on boxers and wrestlers.
At the post fight press conference the ever smiling world champion came in sporting a huge bandage on his right ear.
But he did not seem affected as he answered questions from the media.
He even sang a few bars of the same song he sung at the Jimmy Kimmel Show a week ago and invited everyone to witness his concert. “Of course you will have to pay $40.00”, he said.

Manny Pacquiao enshrined his name in the storied history of boxing by scoring a brutal 12th round TKO over Puerto Rico’s Miguel Cotto to win an unprecedented world title in a seventh weight division and proved beyond a shadow of doubt that he is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world today.

That Manny Pacquiao is, beyond any doubt, the greatest boxer in this era, the Filipino ring hero proved yesterday by wresting the World Boxing Organization welterweight championship from Puerto Rican titleholder Miguel Cotto.
It needed Pacquiao, the International Boxing Organization junior-welterweight belt-owner, 11 rounds and five seconds to dispose off the game but outclassed Cotto, but it was enough for him to earn his seventh world title in seven weight divisions, a feat no other fighter before him had accomplished.
It was a night when sports and entertainment superstars showed up to witness the smaller but wilier Paquiao sending Cotto twice to the canvas as he punished the bigger, heavier opponent in all but one round to the delight of the predominantly pro-Filipino sellout crowd of 16,000 that filled the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.

Manny Pacquiao makes it to the cover of TIME magazine - Sports - GMANews.TV - Official Website of GMA News and Public Affairs - Latest Philippine News
Championships in six different weight divisions, check. Beat the “Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya, check. Appear on two nationally televised US talk shows, check. Toss ceremonial pitch at a Major League Baseball game, check. Make the cover of TIME Magazine, check.
These are some of the achievements that Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao has accumulated in his more than 14-year pro boxing career that brought him out of the busy streets of General Santos City and Manila, and into the bright lights of Las Vegas prize-fighting.
His humble beginnings as a street hawker, construction worker and stevedore in General Santos City, and his sudden rise as one of pro boxing’s well-loved fighters made Pacquiao a media magnet and sort of a demigod in the Philippines.
And gracing the cover of TIME Magazine’s Asia edition, his most recent, adds more to Pacquiao’s already iconic personality. Pacquiao will be at the cover of TIME Asia but his five-page feature story will be published in all editions.
Being on the cover of TIME Asia, and TV appearances at ESPN Sports Center and the primetime talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live are enough proof that the world has embraced Pacquiao, the reigning holder of the mythical pound-for-pound title.
His fights, that gave him his multi-million peso fortune today, are eagerly awaited by his countrymen. During each fight, the streets of Metro Manila are free of the usual noise brought by the traffic and crime rate is always at an all-time low, with most Filipinos glued to their television sets rooting for their hometown hero.

According to the TIME Asia story, which has “The Great Hope" as cover title, the 30-year-old Pacquiao is considered to be the latest savior of the sport after boxing lost its once lofty status to the now popular mixed martial arts as the centerpiece of prize-fighting.
“(Pacquiao is) a fighter with enough charisma, intelligence and backstory to help rescue a sport lost in the labyrinth of pay-per-view. Global brands like Nike want him in their ads," wrote Howard Chua-Eoan and Ishaan Tharoor in the cover story that will hit the news stands on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) two days after his 12-round slugfest with reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico.
Pacquiao, who is aiming for an unprecedented seventh title in seven weight divisions, is featured by the prestigious magazine in a five-page story.
This will not be the first time that Pacquiao will be featured by TIME Magazine or any other internationally published journal.
He made the TIME 100 most influential list this year where he joined the ranks of global icons and luminaries like US President Barrack Obama, US Sen. Edward Kennedy, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, tennis star Rafael Nadal and world No. 1 golfer Tiger Woods.
ESPN The Magazine had his bare torso in its Body Issue, which explores the engineering of several athletic physiques.
He was also featured on the cover of Reader’s Digest Asia where a seven-page story was also written about the Filipino boxing superstar. The issue came out before Pacquiao’s epic match against the legendary De La Hoya last year.
HBO's 24/7 show also featured him together with Cotto. The episode is currently being aired by the cable channel. HBO previously made a four-part 24/7 show when Pacquiao fought De La Hoya in the "Dream Match" and his "East vs West" bout with British boxer Ricky Hatton.
Pacquiao is the first Filipino sportsman on the cover of TIME Magazine Asia, further cementing his place in history, boxing or otherwise. Environmentalist Chin Chin Gutierrez was also featured in the 2003 cover of TIME Asia.
Other prominent Filipinos who made the cover of TIME Magazine were former Presidents Manuel L. Quezon, Manuel L. Roxas, Ramon Magsaysay, Ferdinand Marcos and President Corazon C. Aquino (who was featured four times, once as Woman of the Year in 1986).
Pacquiao became the 10th boxer that was featured on the cover of TIME Magazine. Other boxers that made the cover were Jack Demspey (1923), James Tunney (1926), Max Schmeling (1929), Primo Carnera (1931), Joe Louis (1941), Sugar Ray Robinson (1951), Cassius Clay (1963), Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier (1971), Muhammad Ali (1978) and Mike Tyson (1988).
Pacquiao is also the 11th sports icon that made the cover of TIME Magazine after Pete Rose (1989), Magic Johnson (1996) Michael Johnson (1996), Michael Jordan (1998), Marion Jones (2000), Tiger Woods (2000), Sisters Serena and Venus Williams (2001), and Michael Phelps (2008). – GMANews.TV

Pacquiao on TIME Magazine cover
MANILA - The Philippines' most successful boxer Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao is on the cover of TIME Magazine's Asia edition, boxing website fightnews.com reported.
Pacquiao, who is aiming for an unprecedented seventh title in seven weight divisions, is featured by the prestigious magazine in a five-page story.
The story will also be included in the magazine's global editions, the boxing news site said.
The magazine will be out on newsstands starting this weekend.
"I absolutely had no idea that when I started my career in boxing, to provide a better life for myself and my family, that I would now be where I am today and on the cover of TIME Magazine," the news site quoted Pacquiao as saying.
The Filipino said being featured in the magazine is the "most humbling experience" in his boxing career.
He said "it is a great honor for me to be the face of my people and let everyone know we are a small but mighty country."
Pacquiao is set to face Puerto Rican boxer Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 14 (November 15, Sunday, in Manila).
The Filipino boxer would clinch his seventh title in seven different weight divisions if he wins against the Puerto Rican.
Pacquiao has defeated several boxing greats, including "Golden Boy" Oscar de la Hoya. He may also get to face American Floyd Mayweather if he wins against Cotto.
After taking on de la Hoya on December 2008, Pacquiao knocked down Britain's Ricky Hatton last May.
Pacquiao has won titles in the junior welterweight, lightweight, super featherweight, featherweight, super bantamweight and flyweight divisions.

About Rugby
Rugby is a game that is played in over 120 countries throughout the world. Much of its value comes from its rich history, traditions, camaraderie and community involvement with the sport.
Children as young as six greatly enjoy rugby through non-contact versions of the game.
Women's Touch rugby is also growing in popularity.
Many men continue to play on well into their adult years.
Rugby is played both as a 15-a-side game, and as 7-a-side and 10-a-side variations. The object of the game is that teams, should score as many points as possible, by carrying, passing, kicking and grounding the ball with the team scoring the greater number of points being the winner of the match. It is classified as an 'end zone invasion game'. The aim of each team is to gain possession of the ball, take it into opposition territory and to place it in the in-goal area (end zone).
Values of the Game
- Discipline
- Fitness
- Control
- Teamwork
- Fair PLay
- Fellowship & Camaraderie
Rugby Football is valued as a sport for men and women, boys and girls. Apart from the playing of the game, rugby embraces a number of social and emotional concepts such as courage, loyalty, sportsmanship, discipline and teamwork.
It builds teamwork, understanding, co-operation and respect for fellow athletes. It is because of, not despite, Rugby's intensely physical and athletic characteristics that such great camaraderie exists before and after matches. The long-standing tradition of players from competing teams enjoying each others company away after the game in a social context remains at the very core of the game.
Rugby has fully embraced the professional era, but has retained the ethos and traditions of the recreational game. In an age in which many traditional sporting qualities are being diluted or even challenged, Rugby is rightly proud of its ability to retain high standards of sportsmanship, ethical behavior and fair play.

Located in the restaurant district of Makati City, this is best described as a good escape from the madness of nearby P Burgos Street (Manila's equivalent to Patpong). A welcoming atmosphere is enhanced by stand-up comedy routines and live televised sport. Drinks are reasonably priced and the crowd generally sociable.
