Thursday, June 26. 2008Manny Pacquiao: A mutant?![]() I don't know how he does it, he just does. I'm beginning to think that Manny Pacquiao is an alien, a mutant of some kind. He doesn't seem to tire and his body performs well beyond what we consider normal. ![]() Today, it was the intense heat that was getting to us. Even early in the morning the sun's rays were as harsh as could be. Later in the afternoon, during Manny's workout at the exclusive IBA Gym, the heat was so intense that it felt like we were stuck in an oven. But Manny kept on going. Unfazed by the HOT Las vegas weather. He told us that he had prepared in advance and had "acclimatized to the temperature". ![]() Manny and his rival David Diaz were both given the ceremonial welcome ceremonies at the Mandalay Bay Hotel. Both boxers drove up in a stretched limo - arriving about an hour apart, before being whisked away to the Mandalay Events Center (where the fight takes place this week) for an informal chat with members of the press. ![]() A couple of days ago Manny noted that David was unlike other Mexican boxers he had been pitted against who would make sensational, sometimes unforgiving statements, even before the fight. David said something to the same effect, saying that both of them are humble and not the type to talk trash. Instead he told the press to expect both of them to get down to business once they get into the ring. We had a little one-on-one with David during the media presentation. Diaz told us he has friends who are Filipinos and are fans of Pacquiao. "Hopefully they will cheer for me," he said. Both Manny and David seem to be in good spirits. They are both nice people that I wouldn't wish a knockout on any one of them. But I kind of get the feeling that Manny needs to win convincingly this time around. I think it is what Pinoy fans are looking forward to. There's no telling how the fight will end, but odds are in favor of Manny. Trackbacks

I hope Manny does win I think it would help lift up the spirits of Filipinos after what the Philippines has gone through with Typhoon Frank.
Manny, manny, money in the restless world.
Bring home a bacon to the victim of typhoon. Look at Gloria,she did'nt even care. She did not cancel her trip to Wahington DC and even brougth with her an entourage to probably watch Manny on their way back to Las vegas. She should get booed if she ever showed up in Las Vegas. manny and gloria are both good supporters from each other dont u know that...
Hell I know, she is suppose to be there assisting the crisis. Not having a good time with you with my tax money sucker..
Manny your the hope of our nation an inspirations of the pilipinos, GO win this one........gud luck GOD bless u
All I can say is that Manny is the best boxer of all time. He will surely win against Diaz kahit dalawa pa sila ni Marquez sa ring. He will go for the record and no one can duplicate that.
nice pic, racing with the humans best friend

I'm stuck at work while all the other Filipinos I know are having bbq get together as they watch the pacman's fight tonight! I can't wait to hear the result! I'm having butterflies in my stomach...not because of fear that he might lose but because of the pain and the punches he has to endure to win another belt! Diaz is a nice humble guy too... He has to take in Pacman's hard punches! Argh! I don't have the stomach for boxing! but GO MANNY! Thanks Josh for the updates! You're the best!
Go Manny !!! You're one of those very very few who give us hope and pride as a nation.
Our prayer are with you and trust you well god bless Mabuhay pilipino.

TEKA, sama natin sa VICTORY si
'MASTER SPLINTER!!!" este.....si coach FRED ROACH pala! ehe-he! Di ba tama yung sabi ko panalo si Pacquiao. So ayan na-proved na ni Manny na siya ang da best among any other boxers in his time at 4 different weight levels. Sana mag-retire na siya, tama na yung napatunayan nya. Mabuhay ka, Manny! You made us filipinos absolutely proud in this world.

your schoolmate in gblc neds Whew! Pacman won again!!!
Living in the den of Méxican boxers na pinatumba ni Pacman is kind of interesting and fun simply because I had experiences here na natutungkol sa galing ni Pacman sa boxing. I also had the chance to meet Erik Morales during our Pinoy Xmas celebration sa embassy dito sa México which naging bisita namin si Morales, I want to send the picture of me and him but I dont know how to upload. Well, Fun and interesting as I said.. like taking a public taxi, mga drivers lagi ako tinatanong kung taga saan ako kahit nageespañol ako, medyo kasi chinito looks ko, of course proud to say na taga Pilipinas ako at dun´mag-uumpisa na ang kwentuhan about Pacquiao hanggang sa bababa ako. Hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang taxi drivers ang nagsabi sa akin sa galing ni Pacman. Medyo takot ako minsan kasi baka bugbugin ako, hindi kasi maiaalis ang gap i mean siyempre palaging talo ang mga Méxican at may mga Méxican na mainit ang dugo sa Pinoy, kasi nasa dugo na ng Méxican ang pagkamatapang pero so far wala pa naman bad experiences about that and super friendly naman sila at talagang hangang-hanga sila sa galing ni Pacquiao, kaya napapangiti na lang ako habang sinasabi nila "Pacquiao muy muy bien".. Also, sa mga restaurants, shopping stores, and even to my friends sa school where I work and to my Méxican friends. Nagsawa na ako na kadidinig na magaling si Pacquiao, pero on the other side napapangiti ako kasi talagang bilib na bilib sila kay Pacman which is very fulfilling naman in my part kasi talagang sikat na sikat ang galing ng Pinoy sa boung mundo hindi lang sa boxing kundi sa lahat ng larangan at siyempre sa pinakitang galing ni Pacman sa boxing between Méxican boxers. This is not my first time to tell stories about sa galing ni Pacman, naipublish na yung first story sa site na ito. And now another story to tell.. Of course super confident pa rin ako sa kakayanan ni Pacman sa laban nila ni Méxican-American David Diaz. Never na nagkaroon ako ng duda kasi talagang bilib ako kay Pacman. Yung co-teacher ko na americano na kasama ko sa bahay,hinamon niya ako sa pustahan for fun, siyempre deal ako, kaso napahalakhak ako ng sabihin niya na kay Pacman siya pupusta. Napabilib din siya sa galing ni Pacman. From round 1 to 9 talagang ahead na ahead si Pacman sa scores kaya naman pagdating ng round 9 tumba na si Diaz. Talagang pinagpuyatan ko ito para lang isa ako sa mga saksi sa laban na ito. In the end, victory is in the hand of Pacman. Talagang proud ako being Pinoy! Manny Pacquiao mabuhay ka! Marami nang karangalan ang naiuwi mo sa bansa natin. Gob bless at Mabuhay po tayong lahat! proud to be pinoy, Josh México City YAY! Manny!! You're one of the Pinoys who make it easy for me to tell the Yankees where I'm from!!! We don't just produce good Nurses :-)and ur so humble w/c I love..how lucky could u b w/ such lovely wife?!
GOD BLESS ALL FILIPINOS!!!
The whole of us ADANTE FAMILY was listenising to our radio re: fight if manny and diaz as it was live and we really we're on top of our voices during all the rounds, shouting when manny knocked down diaz on the 9th round. But you know, we really pitied diaz because of the many punches he received from pacquiao esp when blood came oozing from his upper right eye. yes he was bloodied all over his face but it was a good fight between the two great boxers. HOORAY to both of them... I really thank the Lord for giving Manny that much awaited champion of the world... first time for a Filipino and 1st in Asia as well. You know kid, MANNY PACQUIAO is one of kind...his discipline, determination to win, his rigorous training walang sawang pagtawag sa ating Diyos made him what he is today, the GREAT BOXER of all time... MANNY saludo kami sa 'yo. GOD BLESS and MORE POWER!!! we're proud of you we love u.... PROUD TO BE PINOY. Congrats kid!!! ...you feel me manny..you feel me huh huh..i told you your going to get tired punching me..your knuckles hurt dont you?...i told you im gonna show you..hahaha..now your bodies gonna ache from punching me..you feel me huh..

Ayos Manny panalo ulit pero sana wag ka pagagamit sa mga politiko na sumasakay sa yung karangalan na nakakamit ngayon. Pag dka na sikat dyan mo na makikita kung sino talaga kaibigan mo.....
Congratulation!!!! Mr. Manny Pacquiao
Yan ang Tunay na Manny Pacqiao Namamakyaw talaga ng Suntok Ngunit may PUSO parin syang ipinakita kahit na basag,putok,ang kilay hiwa sa gitna ng ilong duguan ang Ulot mukha sa mga suntok na sinambot ng karakas ni DANGEROUS DAVID DIAZ. Si DAVID DIAZ is th MAN Marunong Tumanggap ng PAGKATALO inamin nya na NO MATCH sya talaga sa LABAN Wala na syang HIRIT don Accepted nya na talo sya di katulad ng ibang chicanong nakalaban nya Bokya na humihirit pa. Panalo nanaman yung mga pulitikong Amuyong ni PACMAN na sinusugal ang Pera ng SAMBAYANAN talaga nga naman oo ay ano pa ang ipupusta nila kundi pera ng bayan o pera galing sa weteng. napagaling pa naman ni singson sa pagsisinungaling na ipasa nya kay estrada yung weteng. e samantalang sya ang pinuno ng weteng mula pa kay marcos.
sana makalaban ni pacman si mayweather,hatton,at dela hoya,,,,,
tama ka turing,marami na naman na mga pulitiko na gustong sumakay sa pagkapanalo ni Manny.Tingnan mo sa tuwing may laban ai Manny ay nanduon sila at palagay ko ay may mga pusta yun o gusto lang magpakita sa madlang pinoy na nanduon sila at baka maalala nila pagdating ng 2010 diba?MAKIKITa mo naman ang mga mukha na parating nanduon at palaging nakadikit kay MANNY para siguro na matatandaan sila.buking na sila.
Manny we salute you! You made us all FILIPINOS very proud of what you did in last sunday fight.We prayed hard for your victory as we did in your past fights.Your being so prayerful,sincere,respectful,humble and GOD fearing are the traits that our children should emulate.We pray for your promise to help those who were victims of typhoon FRANK in Western Visayas.Please give directly to them.We suggest not to pass thru anybody especially the politicians.Maybe you can ask the church or Kapuso Foundation to help you distribute the donation.Our CONGRATULATIONS to you and your family.GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS.
Si Nath Campbell ang magandang sunod na laban ni Manny, sa halip na Title Defense lang kung matuloy ito sa November.
Sa pangalan niya kasi at 'phenomenom atmosphere'_na dinala niya, pati si Mike Tyson ay kita nating sumasakay sa popularity niya sa ringside. I wonder how Bob Arum would handle that 'Pacman Legend' over future promotional fights. Humble lang talaga si Manny. Pero sa tindi ng pangalan niya sa ngayon_ di siya dapat ganun kadali hamunin sa Title Defense kay Edwin Valoria. Sabi ni 'Yaw_ enjoy lang muna siya sa ngayon. THAT PACMAN FEVER CONTINUES! Congrats Manny your so good in boxing.I admire you. Im your fan I always watch your play.I am now in Bangkok but I do watching your play by internet. Ang galing mo Manny.Im proud to be a Pilipino.And I am proud for you Manny.
MABUHAY KA MANNY MORE WIN MORE MONEY FOR THE FUTURE.GOD BLESS U. Im the one of a million na tagahanga ni Pacman at isa din akong saksi kung paano ni Pacman pataubin si Diaz walang sinabi si Diaz sa mala machine gun na suntok Pacman, sa nakita ko kay Diaz dapat lang pala talaga tawagin syang "Dangerous" kasi naging dangerous ang mukha nya after the bout with Pacman grabe ang sinapit nya sa kamay ng pambansang kamao ng Pilipinas "Im proud to be Pinoy" and "Im proud to be Kapuso...
Diony of Japan/ Jaro, Iloilo city Manny,sa sobrang galing mo namatay lola ko! Help naman please.................
Wow! MANNY, your great. Panalo naman tayo. Pero ako, hindi binayaran ng kapustahan.$10 naman yun.hehehe. Okey lng, basta napabilib sila sa galing mo.. Parang nakakita c Diaz ng mga honeybees sa ulo nya sa daming suntok na natanggap....heehehe..
The best ka MANNY!!!!!! Proud to be Pinoy, Erlich of Ausralia/ Libona,Bukidnon galing talaga ni pakyaw panalo nanaman...hintayin mo yun laban mo kay arawan o dili kaya kay buwanan tignan ko lang kung may paglagyan ka
tado mo..marame kang nalalman.. josh gago...mutant? tao lang yan
congrats manny u make as proud here in the whole middle east as a pinoy MABUHAY ang PILIPINAS sana magkaisa tyong lahat para sa kaunlaran ng ating bayan keep up the good work at u inspire us all here in dubai ganyan dapat ang PINOY,GOD BLESS US
You wanna fight me? Fight Valero first. If you beat him (which is i know, will be hard for you) I will fight you. I'll show the filipino people how your champ will go down. Bwahahahahahahaha
3 times ko ng inulit-ulit yung cd Paquiao- Diaz fight.
Kawawang nilalang talaga....may cut sa ilong, sargo ang labi, black-eye, putok ang kanang kilay...bumagsak pa ng subasob! Aguy!!! Pagbangon may bonus pang bukol-pasa sa noo....INAKUPO!!! Pero, sports siya dahil sa interview...nagbiro pa ng ...oooooops! bigla nlang daw siyang na-WHAAAAAM!!! Sa rematch...masasabi ko lang kay David, MAAWA KA NAMAN SA SARILI MO......baka matuluyan ka na!!! Sumalangit nawa....ehek!!! Mapasama sana ako sa trainning ni Fred Roach....kahit towel boy lang muna,.....parang-awa nyo na....marunong ako sa shadow boxing....may wido at porma rin gaya ni Manny....GUSTO KONG YUMAMAN SA BUGBUGAN!
Scheduled for one fall!!! And in this corner!!! Sarap naman pakinggan... Sumainyo, Desperadong boxer @Bakser
On Behalf of the Management and Staff. We are please to announce that you are hired for the position of TOWELBOY. You can start immediately. Your job Description: Punasan mo pwet ko, ni Buboy at ni Manny. Wakekekekekeke Mahusay na boxer si Manny.
Natatalo lang siya habang dumidikit sa mga corrupt_ you know what I mean. I even thinked of that one I do agree of that thing I've watched several of his matches but I also do noticed even though he had recieved so many punches or alot prespiration in practices it's really unbelievable of how great is his tolerance in pain or somewhat tiredness. but i really don't think being a mutant i what manny is he just overcomed natural human strength and abilities. . . well i know it is really hard for a 12 year old kid like me to think this deep and affect other people's lives.
hopefully manny will win this fight...and also gloria well do something good in our country instead of going vacation!!!
