The ever popular and the Hon. Manny Pacquiao, our Congressman in Sarangani Province will once again go up to the ring to fight the not so popular Antonio Margarito for the vacant World Boxing Council super welterweight division. Where else would this event be held? There's no other place to hold a fight as huge as this than in the gambling capital of the US, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Racing fanatics on the other hand, will have to fasten their seat belts to watch the finale of the Formula 1 race in Abu Dhabi featuring four title contenders for the most coveted 2010 Formula 1 Champion.
Manny Pacquiao's fight against Margarito has already been labeled as lopsided and very predictable. Manny's coach Freddie Roach predicted "the fight will be short and sweet". Many people consider that if Manny is serious with pounding hard Margarito, the fight will be over in just one round. What can make this fight exciting and interesting for us Filipinos? Well, after Manny has boxed out Margarito, he will claim his 8th championship title never been done before by any professional boxer since its inception (really???). That's how great Manny is! He should be regarded then as the best pound for pound king following this fight, after Mayweather Jr. reclaimed this title earlier this year.
For most of us, this fight is going to be boring but it is still hard to miss. The talk on Pacquiao and Mayweather Jr. will surface immediately after the fight. But will it once again spoil the fun if deals are not closed right? Will there be any chance that these two will meet???
Formula 1 race in Abu dhabi on the other hand would be the most interesting event on Sunday. Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber, both from Red Bull will try to spoil the championship bid of points leader Fernando Alonso of Ferrari. Alonso is leading the current championship standing with 246 points, followed by Webber with 238 points and Vettel with 231 points. In order for Alonzo to cement his win, he must place at least third on this race in Abu Dhabi even if Webber and Vettel are in the top 2 places. In a Formula 1 race, the winner receives 25 points, second receives 18 points, and 3rd receives 15 points. 4th to 10th places will receive 2 points less than that of the previous places, i.e. 4th will receive 13, 5th will receive 11 points.
