Roy Jones complained about the gauze that was used by IBO cruiserweight champion Danny Green

Manny Pacquiao Birthday is Today
Emmanuel “Manny” Dapidran Pacquiao was born December 17, 1978 in Kibawe, Bukidnon and resides in General Santos City. Christian belief holds that Emmanuel means the “Messiah” and he was born just eight days before Christmas, thus he was named as such.

Today Manny will celebrate his 31st birthday in General...
