PACQUIAO FIGHT.. the memories.. May 7,2011

 Pacquaio fight - The memories.......May 7 , 2011..
    First off , it almost didn't happen.. I mean , I almost didn't go,, But that's personal. and out of respect of my family. I will leave it at that. A fight before the fight ? Yeah. Getting to THE MGM was a brutal maze of fighting the most Limos , I have ever seen. I saw stars galore, Bong Revilla, Bert sugar Randolph, famous ESPN writer , historian , Bradley the next future opponent of Pacquaio ,LL COOL J sang the entrance song " MAMA'S gonna knock you out!" I replaced it with :" Manny's gonna knock you out!" Jamie Foxx's rendition of God Bless America and the crowd singing along was spiritual and uplifting. The taunts and pride by the mosely crowd was amazing if not unreal. I was boastful and playful ,. I threw combinations that Manny would of been proud of. I shook hands and high fived strangers with Pacman gear or flags. I had drunk white dudes , celebrate with me .. It was a exciting night , The Knockdown was awesome , then my rendition of cut throat , wwf wrestling taunting was off the hook.. Di someone record it. I'm sure it was.. I mean I was on the brink of being fanatical and outrageous,,. But get this , No one dared challenge me. I mean once upon a time I was a boxer and the pinches I threw were pretty good, and I may be short , but I consider myself a stocky short guy , and I can look mean , if innate too, But the energy i had and the fact the majority of the crowd was rooting for Manny gave me a unfair advantage.. Was it classless , was in borderline ,, cruel. Yeah.. Go home losers as the fans left ,. where;s no weather , or Mayflower ,, or gayweather? I mean.. We want him! I chanted.. But to no response from the heart broken Mosley fans, I saw it tin their eyes and actions. Total shock and disappointment that a fighter of Manny's stature could be so dominating and predictable. He not only kicked Moselys butt, he humbled him beyond comprehension,. After the fight he admitted without questioning , that Manny hits harder and is faster than any other fighter he has ever faced. Didnt Mosley just fight Mayweather a a year ago.? ok,, I know he's suffering from post fight trauma and brian damage. I mean his face was a swollen red piece of meat. The eyes were blood shot and his looked every bit of 39 years old. Mosley like the fans I taunted that night were in shock , in denial,, totally heart broken. They all thought his style ,his experience , his African American moves were going through Manny off. The only thing Mosley threw was the fight.. He not only stop fighting , but he disgusted his fans by putting on a Mayweather like boxing performance, hit and run. and grab and hold,,, boring... he became what he hated, just to protect his record of never knocked out in his career. But in reality , he did suffer a knock out, because no one , including his die hard faithful , will want or trust he will fight to win.. The walking on the Vegas strip and hearing the many fans high five me,. and chanting Pacquiao was uplifting and amazing. Mostly from White America.. They have adopted Manny as one of their own. Because he has humbled , some of the most out spoken , cocky groups in America. I'm not saying all African Americans are like that, But alot are and that night , Manny silenced them with his destructive whipping of one of the greats of boxing for the past 20 years. For another night I was a loud ,  proud , boastful  fan of one of the greatest fighters ever. The marketing of Manny is Vegas is amazing , I saw shops and stores and even a Nike Shop all dedicated with Manny gear, from Jackets , shoes, sweaters, Jersey, shirts , hats. you name it.. I was in complete awe, in how far Manny hysteria has become.. I've been rooting for him for almost 10 years, first watching him on ARMED FORCES TV IN JAPAN.. and finally seeing him in 2003 , The Morales fight ,, I was hooked and I will remain taking the long trip to Vegas and support and cheer on a true legend. I know this cants last forever , but the many fight memories I have will last a lifetime... The memories are many and the anticipation for more  Manny Pacquiao fights are in measurable. I want to see more , because greatness like his comes around once in a lifetime.. Mayweather , stop the nonsense and prove through not words that you are the baddest man on earth,. You are as quick and and as young and skill full or even more so than Manny , then why not? The money will be tremendous , the hype and attention will be unreal.. The result .. depends if you fight to win,, or fight to survive .. Either way , you need manny more than he needs you.. He has the fame , fortune and the fans proclamation as the Worlds Best fighter.. like what manny said after the fight " I don't care about fighting Mayweather , I just want to fight , the fans want this , so I want what the fans want.. Unfortunately , Mayweather wants to protect his unbeaten streak  and is willing to be called Coward, afraid , than to ruin his unbeaten record. What a shame, for one night , we could of seen boxing at the height of every ones world, like it should be. But instead , we will be unfulfilled.. Thank God for Manny , because  without him Boxing is nearly dead.. When he calls it quits.. I see MMA finally taking its strangle hold of Combative sports revenue. Enjoy the memories fight fans.. Because Manny mania will end someday.. THE SOURCE PRODCUTIONS @ 2011
