Wahlberg and Bale Team Up on the Ring This Christmas

Everything in the Philippines sports revolves around two things today - its either basketball or boxing. Do we even need to mention Manny "The Pacman" Pacquiao before you get what we mean? Filipinos then will have something to look forward to come December 2010. "The Fighter" stars Mark Wahlberg (a self-confessed Pacquiao fan himself) and Christian Bale. The movie chronicles the incredible career of "Irish" Micky Ward and how he overcame all odds to become one of the most recognized boxers in the world. You can catch the first trailer of "The Fighter" after the jump.
