Manny Pacquiao is is a fast freakin' badass. I was rooting for Pacquiao from the start because I've never met a Phillipino who wasn't the nicest person ever. When Pacquiao came to the ring all smiles, when most fighters come out super serious, how could you not like the guy? I still can't believe how fast he was! I didn't think the fight would be this lopsided! Oh, by the way, I gave in and bought the fight PPV. I'm broke as mutha.., but hopefully I'll have money by the time the bill is due.

The only US heavy worth a damn just now! I read an interesting article last year on why there's such a dearth of American heavyweight contenders: The obvious reason is that Americans just aren't hungry enough to put in the pain to be contenders--but the former Soviets, Mexicans, etc., are. But another reason is that there's a tremendous emphasis in all sports on individuals setting records. So, any adolescent or teenager who's big, muscular and shows some athletic prowess is going to be steered into baseball, soccer, hockey, or other team sports that formerly didn't necessarily require players to be physically huge and muscular. Everyone wants new records. That's one of the reasons why steroid doping is such a problem across sports. What's more, only a small handful of boxers get far enough to make real money, and even the champs get the piss whaled out of them over time. But a team guy can be fair to middling and still have a reasonably long, well-paid career--and keep his brains from being scrambled.

Been talking to some of the Filipino lads at work and they say the gossip coming from home is that Manny will not fight Hatton next. They reckon Mayweather wants to come out of retirement and fight him. Mouthwatering match up that one. Oscar can promote it 
I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees!
