Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Barrera met again last October 07, 2007 at the Mandalay Bay Event Center; with both of them hoping to win their own fight. No, I am not in Las Vegas when it was held because I’m still blogging here in the Philippines though.

I watched the entire event; from the first round up to the last round at The Arena in San Juan. The event was also sponsored by SMART, Jollibee and Purefoods, even Mayor JV was there with us.

Me and my father had our breakfast before the fight started so I can still clearly recall what happened but I will not tackle about the details since there are lot of websites already who posted their own stories about the fight. Some of them are the following:

• Pacquiao Bests Barrera in Boxing Match
• PACQUIAO WINS HANDSOMELY
• Pacquiao boxing victory briefly unites Philippine combatants
• Pacquiao Wins, via Unanimous Curtain Call! Leuvano, Andrade, and Forbes Victorius!
• GMA, AFP laud Pacman
• President Arroyo heaps praise on Pacquiao
• Pacquiao pummels Barrera in super featherweight boxing fight
• Pacquiao too fast, too strong for outgunned Barrera
• It’s Unanimous: Manny Pacquiao Wins
• Pacquiao’s Win Sends Barrera Into Retirement
• Pacquiao rolls past Barrera in rematch
• Pacquiao beats Barrera again
• EARLY VEGAS FIGHT RESULTS!
• Handa Ako Sa Tatlong Aspeto

As you can see, there are many articles like that appeared a couple of hour after Manny Pacquiao won because of unanimous decision coming from the said judges.

Personally speaking, I got scared when I’m currently watching the 8th and 11th round because Manny seems hurt from the punches of Barrera but Pacman strongly held firm at his ground and did not run out of stamina to conquer Barrera’s raging hunger for victory.

For you Manny, congratulations on your win, please continue having a humble heart and that smile of yours even before the fight. As for Barrera, thank you for the good fight but I do not like what you did on the 11th round. If that’s a mistake, then I forgive you. If not, then we have another thread to discuss.

In any case, have a good day ahead. Mabuhay to all Filipinos, Mabuhay ka Pacman!
