Manny Pacquiao probably got inspired by Vin Diesel’s movie—The Fast and the Furious.
Pacquiao certainly made Filipinos proud
No, Pacquiao wasn’t driving a luxury speed car going to the MGM Grand in Las Vegas for his much-awaited slugfest with Briton Ricky Hatton.
Rather, he packed his fight against the so-called British “Hitman” with a flurry of punches on the body and the face before winning via a second round knockout.
Not only did Pacquiao grab the International Boxing Organization’s junior welterweight belt, he also silenced the huge British crowd before the MGM Grand that came in droves to support Hatton.
At the same time, Hatton’s boastful trainer, Floyd Mayweather, Sr., probably have to pack up his bags for good because his stake for fame with his ward, went to the waste basket with Pacquiao’s fast-paced victory.
I’m just surprised to see how fast Pacquiao disposed of Hatton and how furious he was in attacking the British former IBO champ with a barrage of punches that sent Hatton to the canvas one final time in 2:59 mark of the second round.
Congratulations to future Hall of Fame boxing trainer Freddie Roach! Certainly, you have leveled up Pacquiao’s skill to world-class level.
Pacquiao, I hope and pray you will continue to remain humble, for the Bible says, God gives grace to the humble.
