Pinoy Ang Tumapos

The Pambansang Kamao has again brought glory to the Filipino people.
Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao won by KO in the third round of his final
battle with Mexico's Erik "El Terrible" Morales. Pacquiao knocked his
opponent thrice before an eighteen thousand strong crowd at the
Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pacman remains the World
Boxing Council (WBC) International Super Featherweight Champion.

According to sports analysts, Pacquiao quickly defeated Morales
because of his lightning moves and his punches that landed in
bunches, which made it hard for the Mexican to recover. His coach
Freddie Roach also believes that even though Manny's vicious left
ended round three, the boxer's developed right hook was the main
reason behind his victory. Even Morales admitted that the
Pacman's `just too fast and too strong.'

Pacman will be taking home $3 million and is looking forward to a
match with WBC World Featherweight Champ Marco Antonio Barrera. He
has made every Pinoy around the world proud, including President
Gloria Arroyo who said that Manny continues to be the country's hero
and the bearer of the Filipino dream. Manila City too, is preparing a
grandiose welcome for the boxing hero. Manny could not thank every
one who prayed and cheered for him enough. He can't wait to return
home and share his win with his kababayans. He's also excited to see
his daughter, Mary Divine Grace, for the very first time.
