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!

Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton full fight Video – 2009
Review: 2009-05-02, the fight between Manny Pacquiao (48-3-2) and Ricky Hatton (45-1-0) lasted only 2 rounds, but it were six minutes very exciting. Hatton, after losing against Floyd Mayweather Jr (in 2007), trying to win the welterweight title, had returned in his light welterweight division winning the IBO‘s belt versus Juan Lazcano (in 2008). So Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton defended his title against Manny Pacquiao who tried to win a world title in the light welterweight category, even though he had just fought and won against Oscar De La Hoya at the welterweight limit. Pacquiao knocked down Hatton two times in the first round and knocked him out at the end of the second round, surely one of the best KO of 2009. (After this fight Hatton retired). Watch the video!
