RSR Boxing Headlines: Manny Pacquiao – Floyd Mayweather JR Set
By Geno McGahee-December 22, 2009

The location has been set for the March 13 showdown between Floyd Mayweather, JR., 40-0, 25 KO’s, and Manny Pacquiao, 50-3-2, 38 KO’s. Many locations have been thrown around, but Las Vegas won out. The MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, will host the showdown and will be contested at the welterweight limit of 147 pounds, despite some dispute from Team Mayweather.

The fight has been on again, off again, and now appears to be all but sealed and delivered. With all of the public demand for this fight and all of the money that it will generate, there was never really a doubt that this would come off. The only issue was the little things that are now ironed out. Mayweather’s hope to come in at a heavier weight is no longer a concern for Team Pacquiao. He will come in at 147, a weight that both men are comfortable at.

RSR continues to bring you the up to date goings on of the super fight. RSR is your home for Pacquiao-Mayweather.

Eddie Chambers Gets his Shot on March 20th in Germany

On March 20th, HBO will feature the IBO/IBF/WBO Heavyweight Title showdown between Wladimir Klitschko, 53-3, 47 KO’s, and American challenger, Eddie Chambers, 35-1, 18 KO’s. Chambers will travel over to Germany to attempt to change the landscape of the division and is the best challenger Wlad has had in some time. Chambers earned the opportunity with victories over former WBC Heavyweight Champion, Sam Peter and the then undefeated giant contender Alexander Dimitrenko.

In the Dimitrenko bout, Chambers came in focused and in the best shape of his career. At 208 pounds, he brought his A game and he may be the best opponent that Wlad has ever faced. Chambers is a big threat to the title and will not give a non performance as Kevin Johnson did with Vitali. He will be there ready to fight with a game plan. He will have to overcome a lot to get a victory over Wlad, but this is a fight that you should watch. We could be in for a surprise.
