solicitor Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I think Manny will win since Morales has already reached his peak and definitely he is on his way out. But i am hoping that he will knock the pacman out. Manny has become too overacting in his portrayal as a Filipino Hero. The guy is a sham!!! in reality he is mayabang and have you guys seen the interview of his wife crying on national television? Quote Link to comment

The guy is a sham!!! in reality he is mayabang and have you guys seen the interview of his wife crying on national television?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> In light of Manny's upcoming fight not only is this uncalled for but it is Ignoratio Elenchi.

bret_hart Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) would you call a person giving his country honor and pride a "sham"?!? my grandfather is working in GenSan right now. His boss owns a restaurant there named Ranchero Grill. everytime manny goes to GenSan, he will call my lolo's boss to make a very big reservation, and you know who the visitors are? tricycle drivers, jeepney drivers, old friends he has not forgotten despite of the success, fame and wealth that he has right now! now, is that "mayabang" for you???

brawler201 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 korek ka dyan bro! ganyan nangyari kay onyok before, kinuhang artista, gumawa ng shows di ko alam pero parang gumawa pa sya ng pelikula. ayun sira ang career sa boxing, nagmukha pang tanga sa tv. batok-batukan ng mga komedyante. sana di masilaw si manny ng showbiz. sana tigilan na ng ABS ang pagkuha sa kanya a mga shows. tama na nasira na nila ang career ni onyok.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have to agree with you on this one. Onyok had the rare chance of going for the country's first Olympic gold medal in 2000. And he had a better than average chance of winning onsidering that he has convincingly defeated in previous tournaments the boxers that squared off in the finals for the Sydney Olympics boxing light flyweight gold. Boxing is a such a tough sport that once a boxer tastes the good life, it is so easy to lose the hunger for the fight game. This is what happened to Onyok after receiving the cash and goods windfall for his 96 silver and the numerous TV and movie deals that came his way. He just lost the edge to step into the ring. Alas, the glitter of showbiz and the silver screen is however less fleeting than that of his Olympci silver medal. Onyok is indeed a sorry sight as a comedian being slapped around. So much for respecting our Olympic heroes. This is what makes Manny a little bit more impressive. He already has his millions and is one of the most highly regarded boxers in the world yet he still has more than enough mojo in him to step into the ring and fight the best of them. To Manny: regardless of the odds, regardless of the outcome, the Philippines will back you to the end. You do us proud by just stepping into the ring and representing. The titles are just gravy.

Flash Sentry Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I also happened to catch his fight with Velasquez (not sure of the name; am referring to Manny's foe between Barrera and Morales). In that fight, Velasquez dominated Manny from the third round to the finish with a counter-punching style too. If it weren't for the knock-outs he registered in the first (or was it the second) round, baka hindi draw ang resulta kundi a loss for Manny. Doon ko unang nakita ang 'achilles heel' ni Manny, naaabangan ang sugod niya at na ka-counter-punch siya. I think you're referring to Marquez, not Velasquez. Velasquez I think was the one Manny knocked out the last time. And Manny never knocked out JMM in that fight, but he did get in three knockdowns in the first round. Quote Link to comment

Both tough men, great fighters and deserving of all that comes their way - but back Manny all the way. Quote Link to comment

Koji21 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I hope the negative sentiments is not rooted on the pinoy culture "crab mentality". On the topic, anybody who've followed both boxer's careers will know that both boxers will give their all, no one will quit. It is in their characters to give 100%, specially at this point of their careers. Which means we will have a great fight on sunday! :thumbsupsmiley: I just hope the fight does not take too much from both Manny and Eric. Quote Link to comment

Aminin... Someone mentioned in this thread that media is to blame in the portrayal of Manny as a Filipino hero. Personally, I don't have any problem with that. But more importantly, Manny has remained soft-spoken even if he does come out in media every so often. Quote Link to comment

bret_hart Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Odds now in favor of Pacman The Philippine Star 01/21/2006 LAS VEGAS — Manny Pacquiao is back in the driver’s seat as far as the betting odds for his coming fight with Erik Morales is concerned. At the sportsbook.com betting station located on the ground floor of the 60-storey Wynn Las Vegas, Pacquiao was the favorite as of 9 p.m. Thursday. Pacquiao was listed at —115, meaning you have to place $115 to win $100. Morales was at —105, meaning you have to place just $105 to win $100. When the early pre-fight forecasts came out last week, Pacquiao was a 10-8 favorite to beat Morales and avenge his bitter loss last March at the MGM Grand. But last Tuesday, everything went dead-even at —110 until Thursday. Pacquiao was the overwhelming favorite when the two fighters fought last March. "Pacquiao fans have started placing their bets that’s why," said a Pinoy boxing expert. "While probably the Mexicans are holding on to theirs until the day of the fight." Curiously, the sudden change in the odds came on the day Filipinos, including a big group of local politicians, started to flock to Las Vegas. Some of them were already seen at the 110,000 square-foot casino area of the newest and most expensive hotel in Las Vegas today. — Abac Cordero PACMAN Quote Link to comment
