Tomorrow at 11 am , Philippine time, I will be glued to the TV, along with my 3 sons, waiting, anticipating for that much talked about fight between Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez. As always, when when Manny Pacquiao is on a fight, I will be at the edge of my seat, holding my breath, screaming and cheering along with my kids, with the whole neighborhood and with the whole country.
I have never been a boxing aficionado but there is something about the Pacman that has affected not only the masses but also those from the upper crust population of our country. I am pretty sure that everyone is just so tired with the
ZTE deal scandal that the people have been watching on TV for the past 2 weeks that this fight between the Pacman and Marquez will be a breath of fresh of air to many Filipinos.
I have heard of sports commentator's takes on the fight. And most are leaning on the outcome that once again Pacquiao would win either through KO in early rounds, KO on the late rounds or by decision. Whatever the decision would be, whatever bets were made. I will be praying along with millions of Filipinos that Manny Pacquiao would win and bring our country honor and prestige once again in the line of boxing.
I am also praying that the hero of the Filipino masess wouldn't get hurt so much, that he wouldn't get a split lip or that he wouldn't break his nose. But I know this is wishful thinking. He would get hurt, he would get beaten up but he will still stand tall and put up a good fight for everyone. This is what makes me so proud to be Filipino. When you watch an interview of Manny Pacquiao, he gets across you or any Filipino, that this is not his fight alone but a fight of the whole country. Manny Pacquiao fights not only to prove how strong his punches are, but to prove to the whole world, that on this little island in the SouthEast Asia Region, called the Philippines, there is a great Filipino boxer called Manny Pacquiao.
Once again, Manny, good luck to you! You make us proud to be Pinoy! I love you Manny Pacquiao!!!! For more on the latest between the Pacquiao and Marquez fight, click
