Pacquiao, Mosley arrive at MGM arena

MANILA, Philippines – World boxing icon Manny Pacquiao and his opponent Shane Mosley arrived at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas Saturday night (Sunday morning in Manila) for the World Boxing Organization welterweight bout.

Pacquiao, the defending champion, is heavily favoured to dispatch with ease the former three-time division champion, who’s out to prove that he’s no washout and is still an elite fighter at the age of 39.

Five-time trainer of the year and Pacquiao’s coach, Freddie Roach, has predicted a knockout for Pacquiao, while Mosley believes he still has the skills and the power to stop his shorter (2 1/2 inches) and lighter (at least 10 pounds) opponent.
