Mayweather dominating against the numero uno Juan Miguel Marquez

Mayweather and Marquez

After the long awaited fight of the number one versus the numero uno. The undefeated known to be as Floyd "money" Mayweather dominated the fight against the three time world champion Juan Miguel Marquez. On the first round Mayweather took already the advantage, most of his punch were landed on the face of Marquez that made a cut on his right part of his eyebrow. On the second round Marquez was knockdown on a very strong right upper jab of Mayweather. Marquez realeases so many strong punches that made his opponent cover and stay away from it. However it didn't work out for the counter punch executed by Mayweather until the twelve rounds end. So the final decision was unanimous and given it to Floyd Mayweather. He has already got his 40th win after 21 months of retirement. He said the he misses this kind of atmosphere and most likely the talk of the town might be Shane Mosley and Manny Pacquiao to be his next opponent. Indeed, it was a great fight and proven again as one of the best pound for pound boxer.

9/11 memories

world trade center

It's been 8 years already when America bombarded with terrorist attacked. It was on September 11 year 2001 when two Airplanes hit the great Twin Tower in New York and killed almost 3000 innocent people. American together with President Obama commemorates the 9/11 day and one of the highlights of this event is to mention the names of the victims while ringing the bell in giving them due respect and honor. President Obama said that he will not allow again those barbaric acts of Al Qaeda and he will find ways to resolve all of these terrorism activities. It was very sentimental and very dramatic event for the Americans and for those who were involve on the tragic. This is the day to all New Yorkers as what President Obama emphasized since they are greatly affected on the attacks. But then again it was not only addressed only to the Americans but to the whole regions in the world to fight against terrorism and may the 9/11 memories may continue to live until justice is serve.
