I'm no boxing fan but as with most Filipinos, the world stops to watch Manny Pacquaio during his fights.
Before this game against Ricky Hatton began, I didn't know what to feel: nervous, excited, scared, etc. Afterall, Hatton is a legend in his own right.
Unfortunately, H texted me the result before I got to watch the coverage (cheapo, didn't get Pay Per View this time) but somehow it didn't dampen my excitement.
We had to wait for hours but we didn't mind. It was all worth it in the end.
Btw, I really dislike Martin Nievera and can't believe he was chosen to sing. As expected, his rendition was OA (over-acting). Won't even bother to post a pic of him. Sorry, just can't stand him Never did. I like the shirt he was wearing though (Proud of Tito FrancisM )
Boom! When Hatton went down in the first round, it was crazyyy. Don't think anyone saw the coming. Maybe not even Manny.
But when he was knocked out in with one second left in the second round, I was speechless. We couldn't believe that was it. It was way too short. We even joked that Aling Dionisia - Manny's mom who never watches his fights and instead storms the heavens with her prayers - probably wasn't even half done with her Rosary when the fight ended. Hehe. Talk about a fast answered prayer!!
I was a bit scared for Hatton when he fell though. He was motionless. My mom even started crying. As in, real tears.
I hope he's okay. Glad he got to get up and walk back by himself.
Manny, what a great fight! You're a true champion. You make us Pinoys proud! :)
Here's another fan :)
