More Punches from Pacquiao

The phone rang the same time round 5 is taking place. It was my dad, asking about the status of the fight because broadcast in his location was unavailable. I told him what round it is though.

I wasn't able to pay attention closely but I think Pacquiao looked more the stronger fighter with series of punches clobbering Barrera.

Pacquiao Hits

Commentators talks about range.

Manny seemed to have just found his rhythm and found his punches received unnoticably by Barrera. One punch slipped through the close arms defense of Marco, that one shooked his head back and forth.

Still no knock down at this point, I just remember Pacquiao has promised a knock out win.

I still hate commercials.

Sharp punching from Barrera in Third Round

The crowd seems to be ruled by Mexicans. They've been cheering "Barrera, Barrera" and "Mexico, Mexico". I wonder where are the Filipinos in the audience?

Tough battle continues to be shown by both fighters. But Marco launches sharper punches that landed on Pacquiao's face.

It is still early to predict who's the clear winner. Judges should score this round in favor of Marco.

Barrera Takes 2

Barrera thrown more solid jabs and counter-punches that landed straight into Manny's face. There's an exciting exchange before the bell rangs but most of the time, Manny appeared hapless and shorthanded.
Pacquiao shook his head left and right showing he's not hurt. Probably, Marco's punch doesn't hurt him.
This one I think goes to Barrera.

Pacquiao Takes Round 1

Round 1 is boring.
I really thought someone is gonna get hurt at the opening round. But it appears more of a knowing each-other-phase.
Barrera twice hinged Pacquiao's head when the latter tries to go deep. Some punches were thrown and received.
Pacquiao appears his usual snappy and jumpy state at the beginning.
Marco looks dead-serious. I haven't seen his teeth come out yet. He must be seething inside for revenge.
And Quinito, Chino and some vice-governor seemed to have just taken a quick break. Their voices are back doing their thing.

Both Fighter Enters

Red is the color of the day.

Marco and his cohorts are all wearing red bathrobe-like dress with a mexican rock song heard across the coliseum.

Manny is dressed with white robe. Roach and the rest of the cast are on red. Bilog ang Mundo, Pacquiao's recent song is played on the background as he enters the ring. Upon hearing that song yesterday, it somehow feels good to be a Filipino if and if you're one of the persons belting their voices in the cheering crowd

I Hate Commercials; Kyla Sings Beautifully

Without commercials, I wouldn't be able see Manny and Marco go head to head for free.
But commercials eat a lot of air time three times more than the duration of a round. That's a hair splitting reality. I guess this is just one of things that don't qualify in the norm, "the best things in life are free"
What makes it more funny and irritating is the commercials between anthems.
At least Kyla sangs beautifully from deep within her more exceptionally than the previous singers of past Pacquiao fights and more excellently than that of Bautista's blooper.
