On the evening of May 2nd '09 we were all glued to our tubes. Ok maybe not all but many. I really thought this match would have gone the distance .. maybe up to 10 rounds. Surprisingly it was a rather short fight but quite a thriller. I was hoping it would be as exciting as the Thrilla in Manila but it was nowhere close.
Some flashbacks every time I think of the fight are .. the British with their loud horns. Our famous singer Martin Rivera sang our anthem. Tom Jones and Jasmin singing the other anthems.
I will never forget when Dela Hoya was showing himself with the Hatton mask .. hahaha .. I'll bet you he quickly left the MGM after Hatton was seeing stars on the floor. When the introductions were being done Hatton was psyching himself up as any other boxer would. From the way he was doing it though i was thinking one thing. This guy is definitely overconfident! Hatton was punching himself in the face. Hahaha! I was hoping for a long bout but after seeing Hatton and how he was sticking to Pacman like white on rice in the first round .. I thought .. finish him off early Manny!! Then Pacquio gave me my wish. Hatton .. was down and out and seeing stars! Confidence is important in any endevour but overconfidence will kill ya!
I was surprised to hear when people were saying Manny is the Greatest of all. This surprised me cuz Manny is still at an early stage in his career. I know Ali is the Greatest of all time so they were most likely referring to the active fighters.
Bring on Floyd!! This guy is really risking it if he comes out of retirement and loses. From what I hear he has a perfect record. That record just might be shattered. I would rather retire with no losses if I were in his shoes.
Before Pacman became famous people probably didn't know where our country was on the globe. Now people will probably visit our beautiful white sand beaches in our homeland .. the Philippines!
Manny Pacquiao is one of many role models who proved that you can accomplish anything .. if you set your mind to it!
