2009 best BOXING fight – Juan Manuel Lopez vs Gerry Penalosa – fight Video
Review: 2009-04-25, Juan Manuel Lopez (24-0-0) had won only two fighting by points in his career and even when he conquered the WBO super bantamweight title (in 2008) against Daniel Ponce de Leon, the Puerto Rican won by knockout (in the first round). In this fight he defended his WBO belt for the third time, and his opponent was Gerry Penalosa (54-6-2), who was already world champion in the bantamweight division. Even this time, “Juanma” Lopez won the match before the final bell, throwing 1020 punches in 10 rounds! Watch the video!
Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Angel Cotto full fight Video – 2009
Review: 2009-11-14, one of the headlines of this boxing event was “Old school warriors, modern day heros”, and we are fully agreed that Pacquiao and Cotto are two warriors and heros, as they demonstrated in this fight. Manny Pacquiao (49-3-2), having won the IBO light welterweight title versus Ricky Hatton (another great fight of 2009), tried to win the 7th title in seven different weight classes. His opponent this time was Miguel Angel Cotto (34-1-0) that, for the second time, defended his WBO welterweight title. Even in the face of one of the strongest boxers in recent years as Cotto, Pacquiao dominated him in one of the best boxing fights of 2009. Watch the video!
