Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao of the Philippines shoots for his seventh title in seven different weight divisions today at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino. He will face World Boxing Organization (WBO) Welterweight Champion Miguel Cotto. If Pacquiao prevails over the bigger Cotto, he will be the first boxer to win a seventh title in seventh weight classes. The face-off is dubbed as 'Firepower' match.

Pacquiao has a boxing record of 49-3-2 (37 knockouts) and weighs at 144 lbs during the weight in yesterday.

Cotto on the other hand has a record of 34-1 (27 knockouts)and tipped in at the catch weight of 145 lbs.

Both fighters said that they have prepared well for this fight. Pacquiao said, together with other biggest names in boxing, that he faces a very tough opponent in Cotto. Many regards Pacquiao as a good boxer but Cotto is a legitimate welterweight and this will definitely pose problems for the Filipino boxing hero. Cotto retained his WBO Welterweight in a split decision win over Ghana's Joshua Clottey in June. Pacquiao on the other hand has just came in a second round knockout of Britain's Ricky Hatton at the MGM Grand to claim the IBO light welterweight crown in May.
