to be honest with you guys... i haven't enjoyed a pacquiao fight since the re-match of Morales. And boxing is my favorite sport.. well, tied withfootball. Anway, I feel so much pressure for Manny carrying our country on his back. Then i worry if he loses when all our crab mentality countrymen will puthim down... then i get upset when Mexicans put him down, and now I feel if he loses to Ricky, that the Brits will put him down (though they have been morerespectful this far). Then I worry about how our country will take it.. it will be depression for us

I box for fitness in my free time, and sad to say his biggest critics are hisfellow professional boxers.. though most likely its just envy. Yet i see Manny in the press conferences, on HBO 24/7 and he is so relax as always. Just awalk in the park for him. I just got so much respect for this man for what he has to go through to bring honor to the country.

I love this sport though. I can sit through 12 rounds and watch 2 tacticians go at it (something a casual fan can't do) .. say JMM vs PBF and just beenjoying myself and admiring every counter shot, every evasive manuever while drinking my beer.

But with Manny... i literally feel like this

from the weigh in... until the ref raises his arm in victory.

 

[gameover2]

i'm all for supporting a fellow pinoy, but how can i resist Hatton's +230 line. ihe's a good punch away from an upset victory and i don't wantto risk Pacquiao's -270 odds.

 

[dako akong otin]

^^ go for it man.

 

[manilaboyxix]

nyek.. wala naman kayong bilib tapos pagnanalo na makikisaya.. come on guys! step up!

 

[mackiecorrea]

GO MANNY!! im nervous but i do hope he will bring hatton down!

 

[nadesico86]

Manny all day everyday!!! Really hyped up for this fight and I'm sure its gonna be one hell of a fight regardless of the outcome.

 

[jepeh21]

win or lose i will support manny! its true that this might be his biggest fight and the pressure of representing the country have always been huge but he havecome a long way and i still think he can get past ricky, with that said, good luck pacman!

 

[nadesico86]

just saw the weigh-in on espn sportscenter. pacman at 138lbs and hitman at 140lbs. though it was kinda funny golden boy had their entire lineup of boxers there(JMM, B-Hop, etc) plus a random appearance by mario lopez aka AC Slater.

[hypercrunk]

Its Over! Manny will win!

Can't wait til' tomorrow!

Manny will punch Hatton's teeth down to his throat and make him eat up his own words...

[revelation218]

the Hatton-Mayweather Tandem may prove to be too cocky and overconfident for Pacquiao-Roach and that will definitely work against them. I would love to seeMayweather eat his "rhymin'" LOL
