Manny Pacquaio Wins over Miguel Cotto!*

I am thrilled that once again Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao won the boxing match against Miguel Cotto.

I am not really a sports fan, more so a boxing fan, but B had to work today and although he's going to hear about the fight from other people, I wanted to watch for him so I can give him the whole account of how the fight went down.

The La Divas, a local girl group, sang the Philippines' National Anthem. I think they did an okay job, except that maybe at the very end, they held a note far too long than necessary, but that's just me.

Anyway, it's so cool that Manny Pacquiao makes his entrance with the song "Eye of the Tiger" (from the movie Rocky) playing in the background, and he had this big smile on his face. It looked to me like he oozed a lot of confidence, and from there you know that it'll be a good match.

So, on Round 1 it looked like he lost that round to Cotto because Cotto managed to hit Pacquiao with a few speed jabs, but then again, maybe Pacquiao was in the process of gauging how Cotto fights. Round 3 and 4, Pacquiao managed to hit Cotto hard enough to make him kinda fall. Cotto wasn't knocked unconscious or anything but in the boxing world, you touch the ground with your glove and it's considered a knock down or something like that. After that second fall, it seems like Cotto is doing his best to avoid Pacquiao's power punches and kinda just backs up and jumps around until the bell rings, it looks like he was stalling or something. They reach until Round 12. It was declared that Pacquiao won by TKO. Yay for Pacquiao!

Whenever Manny Pacquiao has a fight, the crime rate in our country goes down and it's as if our whole country stops to watch and support him. Men of different opinions actually sit together and watch Manny Pacquiao's fight. Talk about one man uniting his country.

Yay to you Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao! You make your country proud!
