Yeah, baby! Right now, I hope you’re all proud to be Filipinos… like me.
Well, everyone in the world knows that Manny Pacquiao pawned Hatton in two brutal rounds. The opponent didn’t stand a chance. Oh well, there were a LOT of commercials in the delayed telecast at GMA 7. But you don’t need TV to know who won. It’s either Google or Plurk. Lolz.
Meanwhile, check out the youtube vids (man, that was fast) following next. Congrats, Manny! Mabuhay Pilipinas!
Well… we all know their fight is today. But I’d like to share with you a few facts and the results of their previous battle (which was a draw) before the whole nation and the world face the boob tube or the internet for this most anticipated rematch between our very own, Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao versus Juan Manuel Marquez for the world title called Unfinished Business
In fact, the match is so big here in the Philippines that the miltary and the rebels even scheduled a ceasefire today.
“Manny is going to knock him out,” Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said. “Manny feels that he has really improved dramatically since that first fight with Marquez and that Marquez has gone backwards.” Via ESPN

More after the jump
“Pambansang Kamao”, the pride of the Philippines - Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao defeats Marco Antonio Barrera in an unanimous 12 round decision at the Mandalay Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, Sunday October 7, 2007 (Oct 6 evening at the US). This is for their rematch called “Will to Win”.
At ringside for Boxing News, Victor Perea reports that “Pacquiao, who previously stopped Barrera four years ago, was again the aggressor and outworked Barrera, who tried to keep the fight tactical. Barrera chose to trade in the fifth, his best round, however, for the most part “Pacman” outgunned the tentative “Baby-faced Assassin.” Barrera was deducted a point for hitting after the break in round eleven, a round where Barrera also sustained a nasty cut under his right eye. Scores were 118-109, 118-109, 115-112.”
