By Bob Canobbio - Manny Pacquiao, 43-3-2, 33 KOs, a 7-1 favorite as he returns to the scene of his 11/15/03 destruction of Marco A. Barrera, against unknown Jorge Solis, 32-0-2, 23 KOs. A crowd of 20,000 is expected, second only to Julio Cesar Chavez fighting to a draw with Pernell Whitaker in 1993.
Manny blew away Erik Morales last November in their rubber match. After winning a fairly even first round, Pacquiao turned up the heat in rounds two and three, outlanding Morales 73-25 in power shots. He closed the show by landing 51 of 71 power punches (72%) in round three. Morales managed to land just 44 total punches in less than three rounds of action. [details]
