My dad and I went to the Big Tent along Don Antonio Drive with our neighbors in our village. The place is fully-air conditioned and it froze me, good thing dad always brings his jacket in the car. We reached the match of Elorde before the first official undercard. The place is filled with people, even kids are there. Here's the list that i manage to remember when we arrived at the venue before Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito's fight.
1. Angel Rodriguez vs. Juan Martin Elorde
Angel Rodiguez- Win
4 out of 4 (rounds)
2. Omri Lowther vs. Brandon Rios
Brandon Rios- Win
6 out of 10 (rounds)
3. Guillermo Rigondeaux vs. Ricardo Cordoba
Guillermo Rigondeaux- Win
12 out of 12 rounds, which should have been 10 rounds only
4. Mike Jones vs. Jesus Soto-Karass
Mike Jones-Win
10 out of 10 rounds
After the last under card, the people around are getting ready on their seats. Some are going to the CR; some are buying their drinks. All are excited. When Zyrene Parsad sang the Philippine National Anthem (Lupang Hinirang), all stood up with pride. Manny Pacquiao does his job in uniting the Filipinos is a good way. :) Michael Buffer is the ring announcer, as always, ever since Manny became famous. And the referee who arbitrated the two contenders is Laurence Cole.
Here are my observations during Manny and Antonio's fight:
1. On the 4th round, Pacman really gave shots and punches on Antonio's body.
2. On the 6th round, Antonio fought back with his might.
3. On the 7th round, the right eye/cheek of Antonio is not in a good shape. It's bleeding. o.o
4. On the 11th round, Pacman is already looking at the referee. Antonio might not be able to make it and Pacman wants to reassure that he is fighting with justice.
"Pacquiao won every round on one scorecard, 120-108, and was ahead 119-109 and 118-110 on the other two. It wasn't entirely easy, though. Pacquiao said Margarito hurt him in the middle rounds with shots to the head and the body." -richwebnews
"It was the 8th World division title captured by Manny Pacquiao which enable him to rewrite the history of the sport as the first boxer to do so. "-richwebnews
woot woot! ^^
