Action-packed Pacquiao fight expected in ‘21

Veteran Filipino Martial Arts practioners Monsour del Rosario and Alvin Aguilar expect a thrilling and exciting boxing bout between Senator Manny Pacquiao and Ultimate Fighting Championship superstar Conor McGregor next year in Dubai.

Senator Manny Pacquiao wants to unite all the boxing and MMA fans around the world in his coming fight with Conor McGregor, says his special assistant Jayke Joson.

Known for being a taekwondo superstar since the mid-1980s, Del Rosario believes the defending World Boxing Association welterweight champion would be facing a very durable McGregor, who is a two-weight division champion in Mixed Martials Arts.

“Senator always delivers an exciting fight every time he steps in the ring. McGregor is a UFC champion and also a good striker, so I think it will be an exciting fight,” said Del Rosario.

“I would love to see how McGregor will compare his experience with unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. to Pacquiao. I would like to hear from him who is the more powerful puncher? Who’s the heavy-hitter and who is was his toughest opponent? So I think this will be an exciting bout.”

Aguilar, the Universal Reality Combat Championships founder, said the 42-year-old Pacquiao would be fighting the Irish McGregor not only for himself but for his people. Pacquiao really loves to bring excitement to the Filipinos, he said.

“It is, as everyone will still watch it and why is it any different when Mayweather did it? Sen. Manny has been proven to be one of the most selfless and generous people in the world,” explained Aguilar—also the Wrestling Association of the Philippines president.

“The more money he makes in an honest matter by the way ,which is a rarity nowadays, the better for a lot of people who he sincerely helps. He is always blessed because he has a good heart and works harder than everyone else,” he added.

The collision between pro boxing and MMA fans around the world is definitely good to unite the people in these trying times, and Pacquiao has proven it every time he fights anywhere.

“Senator MP [Manny Pacquiao] wants to unite all the boxing and MMA fans around the world in this coming fight,” said Pacquiao’s special assistant Jayke Joson, assuring both the eight-division world champion and the notorious MMA fighter in the world will come to fight and not run. “He [Pacquiao] is preparing for this fight a long time ago to satisfy all the fans.”

Pacquiao said he would donate a big portion of his purse from the McGregor fight to the Filipino people particularly Covid-19 victims.

Even Team Lakay’s mentor and trainer Mark Sangiao believes Pacquiao is doing the right move by fighting McGregor.

“It is a good strategy for Pacquiao because everybody is craving to watch him fight again,” said Sangiao, who trains former One Championship lightweight titleholder Eduard Folayang, strawweight champion Joshua Pacio and One former bantamweight champion Kevin Belingon, among others.

“On McGregor, he really knows how to sell his fight, too. It’s going to be a blockbuster fight for sure.”
