Quoting one of the commentators of the fight, Manny's win will determine whether or not the Filipinos will have a great weekend. So, GREAT WEEKEND indeed.
The thing is, I was so excited about the fight that I fell asleep while waiting for Manny's match. I guess it could be attributed to the ho-hum performance of Villoria. I was awakened by Lew's text message...
Lew: Naalala kita. Pacquiao na kasi e! Panalo na! Umayaw si Morales e.Ayun na.
Euns: Seryoso?
Lew:Umayaw talaga. As in umiling ulo nya. Pag-upo after ng 2nd round ayaw na tumayo e.
I got to watch it naman 'coz it was replayed in Channel 2. First of, Sarah Geronimo's [pronounced Jero-mino by the announcer] rendition of the Lupang Hinirang. Ok lang. Better than "that other" singer who shouted "Laban Pacman!" after a flat ending. Pacquiao's entrance song was of course his very own song, "Laban Nating Lahat Ito". Gawd, I love his guts. Haha. Matatawa ka na lang talaga. Buti na lang magaling syang boxer, kundi KUROT sya sakin!
It was a short short fight. I felt sorry for Morales the moment he shook his head signaling to the referee that he didnt want to continue anymore. It was not an apt ending for a last career fight [everybody's speculating that he's retiring soon, even his dad wanted him to retire]
What really made my day? Well, the post-fight interviews. Manny's "TWANG" with all the You-know's and the basta-matapos-ko-un-sentence-bahala-na-kung-anong-preposition-ang-tama statements. Ang cuuuute! haha. Sana may tanscript un mga ganung interview nya. Aliw talaga e.
