Magnificent Manny

Not a boxing fan, and I missed every other past Pacquiao fight, but I watched the Pacquiao-Hatton match today, and let me tell you, that beautiful left-handed knockout hook in round 2 brought me to tears and had me on my knees in front of the television. I caught Ronnie Nathanielsz on tv yesterday predicting that the match would end at round 9 or ten, or if someone 'gets lucky', round three. Hey, Ronnie man, I guess someone got extremely lucky, and we've got people singing "Ricky Hatton's fallen down" to the tune of "London Bridge". Manny's a lean, mean, lightning-fast punching machine! Did you see him making the sign of the cross? Nice to see he knows where it all comes from. Congrats, Manny P, you've done us all proud.
