Pacquiao Wins Over Hatton On 2nd Round

Our Pambansang Kamao Manny Pacquiao made Pinoys proud again for winning the Battle of East and West over Ricky Hatton. Pacman decked “The Hitman” Hatton twice in 1st round, Hatton floored again in 2nd round and didn’t got up again, the referee waved his hands to end end the fight. Pacquiao wins by technical knockout (TKO). Ricky Hatton proved that its really hard to beat Pacquiao.

Different strategy that made Pacquiao won was the combination of left hook followed by right hook. When the Pacquiao’s left hook hit Hatton’s the right jaw, he fell down for TKO. Hatton for sure was surprised and not prepared for a different strategy. “I expected my right hook to be dangerous for him,” said Pacquiao. Pacquiao won Hatton’s IBO (International Boxing Organization) 140-lb crown as well as The Ring Magazine junior welterweight championship.

I can’t believe it, I’m not sure but I think this was the shortest fight of Pambansang Kamao Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao. Both boxers were surprised with each others strength and stability. Actually, I heard some Pinoys bet for Hatton that he will win. My sister even told me “tagilid yata manalo si Pacquiao” before the boxing match. After the game, she said “buti na lang di ako pumusta” LOL

Even if its “bitin” for not finishing the 12th round match and didn’t see the expected action, I am proud to be Pinoy for Pacquiao’s victory. Congratulations!

First H1N1 Swine Flu Case in Asia

It is confirmed that the dreaded disease is already had reached Asia. Hongkong Health Department and University of Hong Kong experts said that a Mexican citizen arrived in Thursday via Shanghai have fever. They’ve rushed him to the hospital and underwent series of test.

The patient is in isolated room in a hospital and in stable condition. I’m worried to OFW (Overseas Filipino Workers) working in Hongkong.

Watch Pacquiao Hatton Live

The much awaited Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton boxing match tagged as “Battle of East and West” overall income will somehow be  affected by Swine Flu (already named as H1N1 virus). Pinoys in US will probably be choosing to stay at home, avail of PayPerView and watch the boxing match on TV. It is still live and not exposing themselves to crowded place MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

I’m not convinced with the Free Pacquiao-Hatton Live Stream or Free Pacquiao-Hatton Online posts most bloggers post on their blogs. I got irritated when I watch The Dream Match fight of Manny Pacquiao and Oscar dela Hoya online. After the 4th round, the live online screening stopped. Buffering… and all of the people in the chatroom started complaining. I ended up waiting for the delayed telecast on GMA7 and Solar Sports.

I don’t want to end up like this again… and will probably be avoiding crowded places just to watch it live.

I hope all pinoys who are going to be there in Las Vegas should submit themselves for voluntary quarantine, including Pacquiao, his staff and the rumored estimated 50 Congressmen. We won’t be needing the fame from Pacquiao’s victory if we will be having a Pinoy who will spread the H1N1 virus in the Philippines.
