The match dubbed “Hunger for Glory” will unfold on The Filipino Channel (TFC) via Pay-Per-View (PPV) on November 23, 2014 at 6 a.m. Dubai time and 5 a.m. Saudi time and at 1 p.m. Australia Daylight Savings Time [ADST] and 3 p.m. New Zealand Daylight Savings Time [NZDT]).
As boxing’s eight-division world champion with an astounding record of 56 wins, and five losses with three knock-outs, Pacquiao is an early bet to win against newcomer Algieri, dubbed by netizens as the ‘heavy underdog’ despite his record of 20 wins with eight knock-outs and 0 losses. Algieri may have the height and reach advantage with his 5-feet-10 stance and maximum reach of 72 inches but professional referees and analysts believe this figure will not hinder the Filipino champ’s speed and foot work. Pacquiao stands 5-feet-6 in height and has a maximum reach of 67-inches.
In an interview with abs-cbnnews.com, Pacquiao said: “It’s all set. I believe this is going to be an exciting fight.” The prized fighter assures fans that his months of training have brought back his younger shape: fast, powerful, and aggressive. Meantime, Algieri admits that the fight against Pacquiao may be the start of his legacy and guarantees a fight worth-watching between him and the boxer who is also Congressman of Sarangani (Mindanao, Philippines) and now a basketball playing coach. He says to the fans, “I prepared very well. I am ready to fight a living legend. Tune in as you do not want to miss this.”
