i've never really been a boxing fan. two individuals punching each other just doesn't make sense to me. until i watched the manny pacquiao and david diaz fight a while ago.
sure, i've watched pacquiao's other fights. but never like this afternoon. i was really awestruck at the skill and the talent that he showcased against diaz. for the first time, i had an appreciation for boxing. i now truly believe he deserves to have the distinction of being the first Filipino to win a lightweight belt, and the first Asian to win four belts in four weight classes. good job!
and with pacquiao being a Celtics fan, having Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and the rest of the current NBA World Champions cheering "Manny, Manny, Manny.." probably was the biggest reward for PacMan, who is now a sports superstar in his own right.

Anong sabi ni Manny, "My dreams is come true" ba? Hahaha =))
ReplyDeletePero totoo, imagine, even the NBA players themselves go all the way to have a picture with Manny.
Bilib na bilib ako sobra sa kanya, and yet he stays rooted in value despite being too much put in the pedestal. Galing talaga!
