Fighting For Manny And Glori

November 17th, 2006 by epoyz

"But He Didn’t Die."

‘Allo, sports fans. in a few hours we’ll finally get to see how the third installment of Pacquiao vs. Morales goes down. not that excited, really. personally i think Manny will administer a beatdown, but hey, what do i know? Morales may find the lion in his heart and make Manny regret he let all those distractions in his life and in his corner. Datu Puti? come on..

well, whatever-however gotesco, at least Manny made all that money this past year.

ok, i may have to admit that i am a bit "bi-curious" on this one. i hope Pacquiao wins, but i am very very curious on what will happen if and when he loses. seeing as we’ve become a country of jockstrap-riders and bandwagoners and user-friendly whoremongers, i wish i could enter an alternate reality boom tube and see how everything turns out in that other world where manny (ominously) gets beaten to a bloody pulp like the image on his nike shirt.

but of course Manny will win this one, don’t be silly. he’s just entering his peak and so well-conditioned right now that i think he’ll be virtually unbeatable for at least the next two years.

but again, hey, what do i really know, right?

i saw this article by quinito henson (a.k.a. kenny torhenson if you ask espn) a few months back and it was just so damn funny to me. one thing that stood out was when i got confused by this line: "Morales said he has nothing to prove against Pacquiao and his only goal is to change the public perception that he is ready toretire."

so being the dictionary widget abuser that i am, i immediately searched for the word "toretire" to see what that means. in my defense, i was reading very fast and in my head i interpreted kenny torhenson was branding Morales as someone who’s "already toretire". h-wow, that’s harsh, i thought.

ok, so back to the article. Kenny was telling how Morales planned to stuff Manny’s mouth because of the snide comments he made about anticipating their rematch "para matuloy na yung pagre-retire nya..". he went on to proclaim that Manny wasn’t the better fighter when he won their rematch, that he just got lucky Morales got tired.

ows?

di pala kasama ang superior physical conditioning na factor sa anumang sporting endeavor, ano?

siguro galit lang si Morales when he did that interview because that statement was just stupidly-stupid. and very unsportmanlike i might add. pag natalo ka talaga, wala kang magagawa pag niyabangan ka ng kalaban mo, just accept that he was superior, that you were inferior, and that his spanking monkey-style schooled your crawling doggie-style. you can only make it hurt worse by making stupid excuses.

"..napagod kasi ako, e, kaya ako natalo.." nice.

that’s akin to me proclaiming "mas magaling naman ako kay carmelo anthony, e, malaki lang kasi siya, egoy pa." o kaya e "bulok naman yan si caguioa sa kin, madali lang ako mapagod kaya di ako nakapasok sa pba." o di kaya naman e "mas malupit akong shooter kesa kay renren ritualo, noh? naiilang lang ako pag may nanonood kaya di ako maka-shoot…".

is-too-pid, di ba?

so ok, ok.. bukas naman malalaman na natin ang hatol, e. it’s just Manny, Erik and the ref inside that squared circle. who’s gonna come out on top? at least tomorrow we’re gonna see. i hope it don’t come down to the judges. as much as i’d like to see how Manny gets treated by our countrymen should he lose, i ain’t ready to relinquish the last shred of our country’s pride yet. at least two more years, until Boom-Boom Bautista peaks and gets to take over Philippine boxing.

naaalala nyo pa si Brian Villoria? o kitams, natalo lang di ba nawala nang parang bula, parang nung nalaos si Maui Taylor.

so on that note, let me join in on the scantily-clad well-wishers on solar sports (kita nyo yung isa, yung damit may biyak sa harap parang ernie’s barong..) in saying:

Go Manny!!! Manonood kami ng laban moh!!

"Climb up over the top
Survey the state of the soul
You’ve got to find out for yourself
Whether or not you’re truly trying
Why not give it a shot?
Shake it
Take control
And inevitably wind up
Finding for yourself
All the strengths you have inside of you."

and that’s word.
