The Pacman does it AGAIN! Well personally, I don’t really find a lot of excitement in watching since I already know that Manny Pacquiao is going to win. Even against a big man like Margarito, Pacquiao was still able to win with his super fast moves, and his power-packed punches. At the end of the fight, my friends aptly gave Margarito the nickname “Maga-rito”, since the Tagalog word “maga” means swollen in English. But with all due respect to Margarito, he put up a good fight, and he was a very good sport.
Why do I feel like there isn’t as much enthusiasm and joy after the past few Pacman fights? Is it because we are all too confident and expecting him to win? When I saw Manny’s face after winning the fight against Margarito, I didn’t see the happiness and pride that I saw years ago when he was winning his first few bouts. No more tears of joy, no more cries of sheer passion. But still, we Pinoys are proud of you Manny Pacquiao. Thank you for bringing pride to our country.
