                    [Summary] => LAS VEGAS — Bobby Pacquiao lost his WBC Continental Americas super-featherweight crown without taking a punch.


The 26-year-old brother of ring sensation Manny Pacquiao weighed in Wednesday afternoon three pounds over the 130-lb limit, and was automatically stripped of the title.


Bobby will still face Mexico’s Hector Velasquez Thursday night in a scheduled 12-rounder at the Hard Rock Hotel. But even if he wins, the title will be declared vacant.

                    [Summary] => 

LAS VEGAS — Bobby Pacquiao, to Bob Arum, is a "diamond in the rough."


Now, whether the famous boxing promoter is right or wrong will be known on Thursday when Bobby, better known as the younger brother of Manny Pacquiao, sees action at the Hard Rock Hotel here.


Bobby, 26, will defend his World Boxing Council Continental Americas super-featherweight crown against gritty Mexican Hector Velasquez who absorbed a sixth round knockout against Manny late last year.
