I don’t think I’ve
seen my Kuya Stewart get so emotional during a Pacquiao fight.

Amidst the comfort
of home and finished up cans of his favorite beer that my mum got him, I was
sitting near him watching his red face concentrating on the screen.
I was more looking
forward seeing who will sing the National Anthem and who gets to sing the USA
National Anthem and was surprised both singers have Pinoy Blood.
During the Mexican
National Anthem, pre-fight, majority, if not all, Mexicans were singing along
the National Anthem, while Pinoys were listening intently to Maria Aragon
(hopefully not waiting for her to mess up) who sang our country’s National
Anthem
I am not really a
boxing fan. I don’t like it that much because I really get emotionally involved
( Just like how I am with friends, according to another friend. :D)
In fact, this is the
second time I slept during the middle part of the fight. The first one we
watched it at the Cinema and the second one right at home. But I always, always
wake up during the good parts.
After the fight, we
went to a nearby bar to talk about the fight, then kuya said:
“ Manny’s the most pressured boxer I know because most fighters after boxing in the ring, win or lose, they just go back to their old lives (or get suicidal like Hatton- that’s from me)but for Manny (on top of giving away money, being a Congressman and a family man with a few controversies on the sides – again that’s from me), I can feel the pressure people’s put on him...”
Few minutes ago I
just heard the radio declaring that Manny Pacquiao’s no longer the World’s
Greatest Boxer due to the luster of yesterday’s boxing performance, and
Mayweather’s the one because he easily beaten up Marquez during his time.
I think this is a
wake up call for Manny because thing’s just becoming too comfy for him. And for
Coach Roach too.
But Kuya said that
there will never be another PacMan again, well not atleast in our time. It’s
goin to take a whole new long while now have another Great Pinoy fighting in
behalf of each and everyone of us.
This is bad. I am not even a boxing fan.
