pacman crushes the hitman in two rounds
Sunday, May 3, 2009
the anticipated Fight of the Century lasted approximately... four minutes.manny pacquiao vs ricky hatton.filipino "hero" pacman versus the british hitman.and everyone thought that it was going to be some sort of a legendary battle between those two fighters...and then the legendary battle lasted for TWO ROUNDS.four minutes, give or take.two minutes per round.the Hitman was already lying sprawled on the canvas just a few seconds before round two officially ended.he was basically mauled by Pacman.Pacman was continuously giving his opponent right hooks, right hooks...but it was the left hook that got the british boxer biting the dust. [yay. alliteration. haha.]what a waste.everyone was anticipating for that match!they could have made it to last longer than two effing rounds, at the very least.not that i don't agree with the idea of "hit fast and hit strong."it's just that the people were quite disappointed that the supposed legendary match ended in aproximately four minutes...hit fast.and hit strong.quite true. the first knocks are crucial in determining the outcome of a battle.or of a game.or of a competition.or of a fight.or of even a brawl.or of a match.the Hitman was good. there's no doubt about that. he is one of those who were considered in the hall of fame of the boxing world.he is good.no doubt.but he kept on using the same techniques. the same movements. the same attacks.he was quite bad in the field of adaptability.Pacman works on speed.he knows he is fast and he makes full use of that ability.i am not a sport critique. i don't know boxing that well. i am not even a fan of the sport.at the very least, i am someone who can identify patterns based on observation.and as far as my limited observation skills can tell, the Hitman works in a pattern-based manner.the Pacman, on the other hand, starts the match using his own pattern.THEN...he switches to various patterns as the match plows on.he makes use of his speed to deliver strong jabs.and let's not forget that it was his left hook that got the Hitman sprawling...yeaaaa.i forgot one thing: CONGRATULATIONS PHILIPPINES.kudos!and, mister world champion manny pacquiao, CONGRATULATIONS. [you won't read this, i know. but congratulating someone has never been considered a crime so... why not.]mister world champion, you already gained a legacy.a good legacy at that.you don't have to ruin that by getting yourself involved in politics.you're already world-renowned.the filipinos respect you. some people even idolize you. others scream their heads off for you. some even engage in verbal and not-so-verbal fights for you.the legacy that you have is something to be proud of. and i'm certain that you are.keep that legacy. protect it....creating something that will surpass life itself...that would be legacy.
