Pacquiao vs Mosley Live Stream Start Time, Schedule
Pacquiao vs Mosley boxing fight is scheduled on May 7, 2011 Saturday 9PM ET/6PM PT at the MGM Grand arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA for the World Boxing Organization (WBO) Welterweight Title.

Pacquiao vs Mosley Stats, Specs, Preview
Manny Pacquiao vs Shane Mosley Stats, Specs, Preview – Shane Mosley has 46 wins, 6 losses and 39 KOs while Pacquiao has 52 wins, 3 losses and 38 wins by KO. Pacquiao will be defending his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title against Mosley, who is aching for a victory following lackluster ring performances in his last few fights.
Pacquiao won the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) super welterweight championship-his record eighth world title in as many weight divisions-last November via dominant unanimous decision over three-time welterweight champion Antonio Margarito. Pacquiao captured the World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title in November 2009 with a brilliant 12th-round knockout of four-time world champion Miguel Cotto.
As usual, Pacquiao will be using his tried and tested advantage in speed and power to defeat Mosley. This is Pacquiao‘s main weapon when he brought down some of the best fighters of his time. His victims are Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Marquez, Erik Morales, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, Joshua Clottey and Antonio Margarito. But despite Manny’s perceived advantages, he’s remained wary of Mosley’s capabilities.
On the other hand, Shane Mosley is relying on his experience, also his speed and power against Pacquiao.

This is the April 28 episode of Kandidato, television’s toughest job interview, Nacionalista Party presidential bet Senator Manny Villar gets grilled by Arnold Clavio, Howie Severino, and Malou Mangahas on the topics surrounding his candidacy.
What I like with Villar is his consistency. His answer on which Philippine hero does he idolize is Andres Bonifacio, who like him, came from the poor, worked hard and is very brave. He has also shown me how great of a father and a family man he is – he brought his kids well, he said his happiest times are being with his family and children especially when they are all together celebrating New Year and Christmas.
The national elections is within reach and in fact, two days from now, we will go out of our houses, combat long lines to our voting precincts and vote the candidates we believe are capable of lifting our country from hardships – there’s only one thing people are consistently shouting for – CHANGE.
One of the votes we need to take into consideration and put our mind into in the upcoming elections is choosing the partylist which will represent a certain sector of our country – a partylist which will stand by its principles in serving people and upholding the interest of the sector they are representing. My default vote goes to AVE this upcoming elections.
However, there are hundreds more to choose from, a certain percentage is needed for one partylist to win a seat or more in the upcoming elections. That is why we need to ponder on which partylists are not that popular, but of relevant interest – which represents the many and needs our vote.
