• Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Juan Diaz – August 26th, 2011

  On Feb. 28, 2009, Juan Manuel Marquez, the 35-year-old Mexican veteran, met 25-year-old Juan Diaz in his hometown at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. Díaz controlled the action in the early rounds by putting pressure on the ageless Marquez and pinning him against the ropes. In round five Diaz drew first blood with a serious cut above Marquez's right eye. Three rounds later it was Marquez's turn to bloody Diaz, and Marquez was transformed from a prizefighter into a shark smelling blood. Diaz was tough, but one had to be extra tough when fighting Juan Manuel Marquez...

• HBO Ring Life: Manny Pacquiao—Juan Manuel Marquez – October 10th, 2011

  Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez are fighting a third time on Nov. 12, 2011. Their first fight was in May 2004. Their second fight was in March 2008. It’s a bit of stretch to say that Marquez has Pacquiao’s number, but their two fights have been close. The first was a draw. The second was a SD victory for Pacquiao. But both fighters have more in common than their profession and rivalry. They both share hardscrabble beginnings, Pacquiao’s in the Philippines, and Marquez’s in Mexico. HBO’s Ring Life takes a look at these two warriors and their humble beginnings…

• Manny Pacquiao on Jimmy Kimmel Live! – November 4th, 2011

  Manny Pacquiao appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night for the fifth consecutive time in as many world championship promotions. His first appearance was on Nov. 3, 2009, before he KO'd Miguel Cotto to claim the welterweight title, and his self-effacing manner has won him scores of crossover fans who don't give two hoots (or even one hoot) about boxing. Manny's interview is followed by a duet with Jimmy Kimmel, who knows as little about singing as he does pitch, but hey, that's showbiz...
