go manny!

May 4th, 2009

I admit I’m not such a big fan of the sport but I can’t help but watch when it comes to Manny Pacquaio. My earliest memories of watching the man in interviews (I think this was pre-Roach) I didn’t like how he came across. But over the last fights he had, I like how humble (compared to other boxers) and unassuming he is in interviews. In yesterday’s fight against Hatton, Ichi and I were in awe with how fast he was, we couldn’t even see the punches. I just hope that he has smarts about him with regards to the money he’s earning now that down the line we don’t hear that he’s squandered all, maybe even follow in De La Hoya’s footsteps (in terms of boxing promotion)? But please don’t go into politics, I really believe he can do more as a private citizen.
