Pacquiao – Hatton Fight Too Short

For weeks I have been anticipating Pacquiao - Hatton fight looking forward for a good and equally matched pugilist. The long wait was over only to find out that its over. That’s how quick the fight was.

I did not watch a live telecast of the fight but just tried to follow through the running account of the Pacquiao – Hatton fight from inquirer sports (online). I woke up just in time Michael Buffer is belting his famous line, “Let’s get ready to rumbleeee!!!”.

When the running account registers that the first round is about to begin, I went for a quick shower just in time when the fight will start getting intense, as I thought. But to my surprise, when I came out from the shower, it is already over.

That’s how fast and furious Manny’s fist demolishing Hatton. So fitting was Hatton ring name “Hitman” as Manny hit him with his lethal punches landing 73 out of 127. Most fitting ring name for Hatton would be Sleepman as he literally sleep in the center of the ring.

My first thought was Mayweather Sr’s big mouth eating his own words.

Secondly, I wonder what will happen to the Brits who sold their houses and emptied their banks to bet on Hatton, as Hatton urged them to do so guaranteeing his victory.

Manny Pacquiao has done it again making the Filipino race proud and etching his name in the annals of boxing greats.

One thing that I wish though, that Manny Pacquiao will not dip its hands in the dirty pots of politics. If his real intention is to help the people, he can do so in many ways but politics.
