Manny Pacquiao

Yesterday was a day of celebration for Filipinos. Manny Pacquiao stopped Velasquez on the 6th round. I'm sure a lot of people would've liked to see Velasquez drop on the floor after a smashing left hook from Manny, but the win was a TKO nonetheless.

People have been talking a lot about this fight, specially after Manny lost the last one to Morales some months ago. I've heard some prominent sports analyst talk about that fight saying stuff about the decision being close and all that... but really, Manny clearly lost that one. He was obviously outclassed and outperformed. Morales was all over him, scoring on left jabs while eluding Manny's hooks. The truth is, Manny isn't the classic scientific boxer type, he's a slugger. And Morales was a more experienced guy and that was exactly what he displayed in the fight.

I dont know how much interviews and analysis have been done following that defeat, but come on... Manny deserved to lose that fight just because it went all the way to the 12th round. If he won then it would have been REALLY controversial. Besides, who would want Manny to win over the score cards? Its a win nonetheless, but Manny has always been a heavy puncher and that's what people expect from him. When we go and see him fight, we dont want to see some fancy footwork and scientific boxing... we want to see him beat the bejeesus outta the poor guy. We want blood... we want the guy to fall flat on the floor, and hear the referee make the 10 count. We want a convincing win. An undisputable win. Not a win from connecting 3 more jabs than the other guy. Who the fuck wants that?

Morales and Pacquiao are set to go at each other again some months from now. So Manny, we will be celebrating your very recent victory and yes of course you will come home as a hero and the crimes of Gloria will be put aside for a minute, but you better make sure you beat Morales' ass to a bloody pulp next time.

So stop complaining about your last promoter and how he took advantage of you. Dont be such a cry baby about it. Sorry to have to say this to you, but you were a sucker Manny and you let him do that to you. You know what they say dont you? It is a moral crime to let suckers keep their money. So from now on, remember that YO DA MAN! and if you dont like how things are, just fuck it and fire the guy.. the bastard!

Good luck on your next fight with Morales... Mabuhay ka!
