Pacquaio defeated dela Hoya

This is one proud moment for Filipinos.

As mentioned on my earlier post, hubby subscribed to Astro Cable for the Pacquaio-dela Hoya fight. We paid around RM43 (US12). It was worth it.

I cooked lunch as early as 10AM today so I can watch the fight which was scheduled around noon. True enough they came to the ring at around 12noon.

I was glad I did cook early. When the fight started we couldn't get our eyes off the TV.

Before the start of the fight I was a little bit scared. Odds are against Manny (height, reach, etc) and a lot of people didn't think he could stop dela Hoya. But when they started exchanging jabs and hooks, I knew from the start that Manny will win. Dela Hoya looked a little bit sluggish while Manny was quick.

I thought Dela Hoya was going down on the 8th round. He did not. But he called it quits after that round.

Congratulations to Manny Pacquiao. He is not only a champion but a hero as well. Keep doing good. We're proud of you.
