Manny "Pacman" Pacquaio has done it again!The man from very humble origins has made millions of Filipinos in the world (including me) proud yet again. In a devastating show of boxing prowess, Pacman destroyed his long-time nemesis, Mexican legend Erik 'El Terrible" Morales in the 3rd round of their much-anticipated 3rd fight in Las Vegas last Saturday.
The fight, aptly billed "The Grand Finale" was the 3rd battle between Pacman and El Terrible; the first two fights were fought like gladiators and were split between them. This time around, there was no doubting who was the better boxer; Pacman attacked from the first round, knocked Morales in the 2nd with his trade mark left hook and finished the fight with a devastating combination of punches in the 3rd.
A few months back, Manny also signed a multi-million contract with Nike, making him the first boxer to be endorsed by Nike, putting him the ranks of other Nike-sponsored athletes like Lebron, Kobe, Ronaldinho, etc.
For everything he has done on and off the ring, Pacman is a source of national pride amongst Filipinos.
I salute you Pacman! You make me proud of being a Filipino!
