The Pacman takes a Big Bite
With the big fight just moments away, I have to wonder if the PacMan has bitten off more than he can whip. Oscar De La Hoya is a might and seasoned fighter. Manny Pacquiao has fooled many people that know a lot more about boxing than I do though.
I hope Pacquiao wins but I don’t see it happening. If your cruising the web and want to see the fight, you’re about to miss it. The first fight just ended early. My main purpose in posting right now is to let you know 
the fight is on TV now. Well if you’re in the Philippines. If you’re in the US, you’re going to pay a fortune to watch it on pay per view. In the Philippines, you can watch it by turning on your TV, it’s not PPV here. It is on normal cable.
Manny Pacquiao, known affectionately as Pacman, is adorned by Philippines. He will be the favorite by nearly all. The countries boxing commission did not want him to make this fight since he is going up two weight classes. They threatened to remove his ability to fight in the Philippines. I don’t know if they will actually follow through on that. I’m glad Pacquiao is going forward as it will make him a lot of money. And I don’t put anything past him, he is a skilled fighter and I will not say he has no chance. He does have a chance.
The fight is about to start. Don’t miss De La Hoya Vs. Pacquiao

I am a little surprised no one commented on this, since I thought Pacman had bit off more than he could chew and I was WRONG.
By the end of the fifth round one could see the respect De La Hoya had for Manny and it was in his eyes. De la Hoya new it was over.
Well Many is good and he is fast. De La Hoya had to lose a fair amount od weight to qualify that takes a lot out of you. De La Hoya had a longer reach which could have made a difference if he had kept Manny at a distance.
I really think one other big factor is boxing is a young mans game. An older guy can’t trade punches with a younger and expect to win. The only way to beat younger guys on a consistant basis is to outsmart them.

Hi Rusty!
I am not realy a boxing fan but I was disappointed that Marie had to work the night of the fight. We were invited to watch it on pay per view with our Filipino friends. Pacquiao is from the city near our barrio and is considered to be a national sports hero. I would had loved to be in General Santos city to watch the fight with my brother in laws. You know the Tanduay and Red horse was flowing like water that day! I think that both boxers were very gracious before and after the fight. This was a great day for the Filipinos and I am very happy for them.
yeah, I think I’ll never doubt Manny again to be De La Hoya that way, that decisively was stunning.
The streets were very quite in Bogo City during that fight and we could hear the Ya Ya screaming down stairs when De La Hoya couldn’t continue.
It really sucks it is impossible to watch a fight in the US now without PPV. Then again, it doesn’t suck for me. I’m not enough of a fan to pay for it. Even for Manny.
