It's been four months since I last had my blog entry and it's obvious that I was so busy with school. Glad to be back but not a nice comeback though. I was quite disappointed today, cried a bit and scream a lot when I saw Manny flat on his chest, unconscious for two minutes and it was the same scenario when he knocked out Ricky Hatton flat on his back as well in May 2, 2009. Like Manny's scary knockout to Marquez, that one was about to end the round. After that, Hatton started to get addicted to drugs and stuff the reason for his retirement that time was that traumatic KO loss to Manny.

All of the Filipinos who watched the fight felt what Pacquiao just received there. "Sobrang sakit", 1 second na lang ng round, where Manny could've awarded that round six eh nagkasalubong ang aggression ni Manny at ang kanan ni Marquez, twice the force and BOOM goes Manny. Totally traumatic. With these questions answered on whether who is the greatest after four matches, I don't care now if Marquez proves it but Manny is my champion, the champion of Filipinos and I respect the achievements he did in the past decades who really sets the tone in the sport of boxing. Making it into the mainstream sports because of his thrilling encounters like with Juan Manuel Marquez.

I wanted Manny to continue with his career but with this tragic loss to his long time rival, I don't know where would be his next move. I think it is the time that Manny hang up his gloves and concentrate to public service and his chosen religion. It's like these are the thing that Manny caused him lost his passion for boxing, maybe a bit. Also, he forgot his rosary and the signature sign of cross routine before the bout that will somehow make him different again in the ring like his prime few years back.

I congratulate Juan Manuel Marquez for the best win he had in his whole career and for the Pacman, hope he thinks of a better decision for himself and his family. Laban Pacman. So proud being a Filipino!
