Pacquiao has won world titles at 112, 122, 126, 130, 135, 140, 147 and now 154 pounds. It was truly a blessed day for Pacquiao as he won the title belt coming from an opponent who had a 17-pounds weight advantage against him when the bell rang, 165-148, and was that 8th tile in his successful boxing career.

Full details of judges scores includes: Judges Jurgen Langos had it 120-109, Glen Crocker had it 118-110 and Oren Schellenberger had it 119-109 for Pacquiao.

Pacquiao said he eased off in the 12th round. “I did my best,” Pacquiao said. “He’s strong. He’s a very tough fighter. I can’t believe [he took those punches].” The PPV boxing coverage laid down the moment Pacquiao was hurt when Margarito landed a combination to the ribs but suddenly spun off the ropes and landed a three-punch combination to the head. As a results, Margarito’s right eye became swollen, in the beginning of the fourth round.

At the last round of the boxing fight, both boxers touch gloves and circle. Margarito throws a couple jabs that land on Pacquiao’s gloves. Pacquiao then gets a nice left and answered by a right jab. Pacquiao remembers to keep moving and starts to go side to side again and slows down gain. At the end, he gives Margarito a flurry of punches and the round is over.

Congratulations to Manny Pacquiao for winning his 8th championship title!

Four Fall Flicks Fight For Film Fans (updated: Thursday, 9/16/2010 at 10:45AM ET)

The Town is permeated with brutal fatalism.  We see these men whose fathers taught them the trade of bank robbery, which is exciting to watch but deadly to practice.  Affleck’s direction is spot-on as he creates breathlessly exciting heist scenes, but has the restraint to let the actors carry the rest of the film.  The script does rely a bit too heavily on characters stating exactly what they want or what another character wants, but the cast turns in strong work and holds our attention through the matter-of-fact dialogue.

However, the film is almost so tight that it could use a little time to breathe and give little moments to supporting characters.  Jon Hamm’s FBI agent is never given time to be anything more than just a raging ass-hole and we don’t know why he hates bank robbers with the fury most people reserve for murderers and rapists.  Blake Lively plays a spurned love interest of Doug’s, but the character is absent from the movie until the third act.  While we always know where every character is coming from, the script and the pacing has some trouble naturally getting there.

But this is a minor complaint when stacked up against Affleck’s strong lead performance and serious directing chops.  Gone Baby Gone is the stronger overall film, but the three action scenes of The Town are filled with so much excitement, drama, and comedy that they made me wonder what Affleck could do with a straight-up action film rather than contained action scenes in an intimate crime drama.  With The Town, Affleck has established himself as directing talent to be reckoned with and serves up a reminder that his acting skills shouldn’t be disregarded.  But if you still want to hold on to your bizarre Affleck-hate, you’re only hurting yourself if you pass on this solid drama.

But even weapons have their weakness, and when Cobb loses everything, he's forced to embark on one final mission in a desperate quest for redemption.

One day, young waterbender Katara and her brother Sokka discover a young boy named Aang. Aang's airbending skills are soon apparent, Katara and Sokka realize that they have found more than just the last airbender. As the prophesied Avatar-the only one who can control all four of the elements-the young airbender is the lone weapon that can repel the Fire Nation's onslaught and ultimately restore balance to the war-torn world.
