Pacquiao vs Algieri World Welterweight Championship@Macau
Manny Pacquiao says he's still hungry to win, and that he'll deny Chris Algieri his dream on Saturday night, He isn't doing so just to defend a title. He's also fighting to stay relevant.Losses to Juan Manuel Marquez and Timothy Bradley in 2013 deflated the expectations for this aging pugilist.He's come on strong with a resounding victory against Brandon Rios in November 2013 and a rematch win over Bradley earlier this year, a bout that got him his WBO welterweight title back.Algieri's dizzying ascent through the boxing ranks isn't necessarily unprecedented, but it's probably unexpected for a 30-year-old former kick boxer who made the switch to hands-only fighting in 2008. Six years in, and he's fighting one of the most famous names in boxing, a legendary brawler whose tenacity is matched only by the feverish devotion of his fans.
