Yesterday (October 7, 2007) was a very exciting day. That day was a very memorable and victorious, as usual, to us Filipinos when Manny Pacquiao, a Filipino, won over Mexican pride Marco Antonio Barrera on fight “Will to Win” last October 6, 2007 in Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas. I myself, was one of the millions of Filipinos who watched the said fight. Because the fight was not broadcast live, I grabbed my mp3 player and tuned in to the live coverage of the said Pacquiao-Barrera II fight. Though many expected that Pacquiao will win Barrera my knock out, but still winning it till the last round was a great fight.
Both fighters/boxer did their best. Only that Pacquiao punched and scored more than Barrera. Two of the judges Jerry Roth and Glenn Trowbridge scored 118-109 and Tom Schreck 115-112 which made Pacquiao won a unanimous decision.
It was such a great fight indeed. Manny deserves a warm welcome when he will arrive home in his country, the Philippines. We are so proud of you Manny!
