We’ve seen The Fight that made the world stand up and watch. Manny Pac­quiao has silenced doubters with a scary anni­hi­la­tion of Ricky Hat­ton inside Two Lop­sided Rounds that made the Eight Lop­sided Rounds last Decem­ber against Dela Hoya no longer a fluke (if it ever was con­sid­ered one).

So many things have been writ­ten about Manny Pacquiao’s “sur­pris­ing” win against Oscar Dela Hoya. This arti­cle, I think, is one of the best.

Lost in the hype over Manny Pacquiao’s dom­i­nat­ing per­for­mance over Diaz is David Diaz him­self.

This week­end (Sat­ur­day evening in Las Vegas, Sun­day am here in the Philip­pines), our very own Manny Pac­quiao will go to war against “the last Mex­i­can stand­ing” Juan Manuel Mar­quez.
I will be watch­ing the fight live in a movie house. I first got to watch a Manny Pac­quiao fight inside a movie the­ater when Manny fought Marco Anto­nio Bar­rera. Since then, I’ve vowed to watch it inside the movie house. Aside from it being live, watch­ing it on the big screen with Dolby Dig­i­tal or SDDS tech­nol­ogy just makes …
