Manny Pacquiao - A True Filipino Champion...

MANNY PACQUIAO - A TRUE FILIPINO CHAMPION..
     May 7, was a great day I witnessed a True Champion at the MGM Grand.. I saw a man who tries his best in every fight , Win, Lose or draw, I've seen all facets of that. The great Wins against Morales, Marquez, Hatton and now Mosley , to the loss to Morales and the draw to Marquez. Everyone one of those moments , took it like a man. I mean , you know he was hurting , embarrassed , disappointed , but he took on the Media storm, questioning his heart , desire , dedication , strategy. and he would smile , apologize and say he would do better. Guess what , he has thousand times over. He is always the shorter man , the lighter man, the man whose humble beginnings is amazing. He was a poor kid , with no father figure and everything he got he fought for , hustled , bullied , whatever , he never took hand outs and begged , he worked hard to be what he is today.. Which is the baddest man on the planet. He has defeated many champions against all odds. But the greatest triat or skill I most admire his humility. He's humble to the max.. He respects all fighters, and honors the sport by giving his all, Training hard, learning , and improving on his skills. May 7 , was not his best night , because of leg issues,, maybe playing basketball weeks before fight was not wise. Perhaps , age is starting to creep in. But despite his 100% condition , he nearly knocked out Mosely and still dominated the fight. Mosely was so shocked and scared of Mannys power, he fought a mayweather type of fight.. Guess what , I dont need to see a Mayweather fight , because we just saw it.. Mayweather will run better and elude better than Mosely and thus giving us a boring fight. Manny shows class, respect and honor , something alot of his fans including myself, should take into account when watching him. I love how he approaches training and how he respects his corner men and always is open to advice and strategic suggestions. He's a true fighter, that knows , anything is possible and never since his loss and draw years ago, keep those feelings of failure and trains his mind and body like no other fighter ever. Boxing is physical , but his Mental strength is amazing, He has so many distractions , and naysayers and he seems to thrive on the circus act atmosphere when most other fighters have been caught up and lose focus. Manny's domination of boxing has been  a great 10 year run starting back in 2001. I love going to his fights and I will continue to watch this legend until he calls it a career. I love the energy he creates and the fan love fest we have for him , watching the Proud Filipino's draped in The Pilipinas Flag and running proudly around the Arena was fantastic was awesome. The high fiving , smiles and cheering was infectious and addictive. That's why I'm a fan of boxing and Manny, I see the human spirit rise above all to a level I have never seen in all my years of watching sporting events, Not Ali, or Lakers, Chargers , Padres , Clippers,, Aztecs, or my sons football games have generated such emotion from me.. Manny is a true champion , a warrior and a class act. Its no wonder he has fans everywhere, America, Mexico , Philippines, United Kingdom because he's honest and hard working and humble , he never disrespects his opponents and give true honor , that we seldom see in sports or in life. He is my favorite sports figure and a Role Model I admire and would suggest for my kids and anyone else looking for a Human being that conducts himself as a Champion , no matter what the outcome! Manny Pacquiao is a True Filipino Champion , who exhibits the true character of the Filipino spirit which is humility , genorosity and respect for others. LONG LIVE THE MANNY PACQUAIO !!
