Fight the Big Fights At Home
Every now and again in the world of professional boxing, a fight comes around that sees boxing enthusiasts and punters incredibly excited to see the showdown. One such fight is the World Welterweight title bout coming up on the 12th of November between current super champion Manny Pacquiao and challenger Juan Manuel Marquez. The fight takes place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada in the United States and promises to be one for the history books. It is being broadcast live on HBO Pay Per View on US Television, but there are ways for you to see it too – like making use of peer to peer broadcasting software like SopCast or TVAnts – both almost guaranteed to have live streams of the fight when it airs in 3 weeks.
Imagine, for a second, that you could step down into one of the fighters’ shoes and fight the fight for them. With modern entertainment technology, that’s now possible with games for popular gaming consoles like the X-Box 360 and Playstation 3. EA Sports’ Fight Night Series is one of the most popular living room renditions of the sport, where you can create your own boxer and train him and fight him up the ranks of professional boxing to becoming the world champion. Or you can recreate huge boxing matches from the past and create your own – like the Pacquiao vs Marquez bout coming up next month. Playing as either Pacquiao or Marquez III will have you in the middle of the action.
Sports titles for home entertainment gaming consoles have long since been a huge industry and the constant improvement and development of these titles lends more and more realism into their gameplay. For boxing fans and enthusiasts or even just casual punters, these games provide great entertainment while you’re waiting for the fight on the 12th of November later this year.
