PACQUIAO, TINIRIS SI COTTO
"Manny picked a wrong man to fight for a
seventh wold championship..."
---Miguel Cotto
Manny Pacquiao keeps enthralling not only the Filipino people but also the whole world. Who would’ve thought that this pugilist who began fighting at 106 lbs more than a decade ago would grab a welterweigth (141-147 lbs) title in style?
Yesterday, he demolished Miguel Cotto—said to be one of the finest welterweight fighters to grace the sport—in an awe-inspiring fashion that made his fellow Pinoys breathless and proud.
At the packed moviehouse where we watched the thoroughly exciting –at least up to the eight round; Cotto did nothing but run and backpedal at the later rounds—fight, the audience would scream and shriek with delight with every landed Pacquiao punch while there’d always be a collective nervous gasp whenever Cotto would connect.
We arrived at the mall at nine in the morning and the fight ended at past two in the afternoon (the supporting bouts were quite good, too)and we only had our lunch by then but it was alright, the fight was certainly a great appetizer.
And oh, the round girl inside the theater was hot.
