“If you train hard, the fight is easy….”
A quote I picked up while watching the HBO 24/7 episode below. I recommend watching the entire thing. I love fighting… I love striking… I love my boy Pacquiao…
Today is a good day for sports! Not only is the Big12 championship game tonight, but Manny Pacquiao is going to take on The Golden Boy – De La Hoya! Man I would love to watch this fight. Boxing is classic, the heavyweights of the 90′s (with the guidance of Don King) tarnished it’s reputation but I think the little dudes of the new millennium have brought some intrigue back into the sport. Thankfully.
I’ve always preferred the flyweight through welterweight fighters over the (hyped) heavyweights. Except for the time I was (unknowingly)seconds away from entering a street bout with (pound for pound one of the greatest fighters of all time) the welterweight godfather Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather. (aka Money Mayweather)… Oops. I didn’t know. I would say I am well-versed fighter, but that would have been detrimental to my face.
Anyway, the big event is tonight and Manny has stepped up two weight classes to fight De La Hoya. Manny weighed in at 142lbs. and De La Hoya at 145lbs. I think it’s going to be a classic! I can’t wait. Manny should rip De La Hoya apart. I suppose that’s my Filipino pride talking, but he’s wicked. If you haven’t seen him fight watch a little of the attached video. Technical and lighting fast combination’s for days. Makes me want to train.. LFP Friday night fights?
