Pacman Fever!

Some say that pound-for-pound he's the best boxer in the world. But to Filipino people around the world he's much more. On his back he carries the hope of almost every Filipino worldwide.

I've been following Manny Pacquiao's career for years, before he was fighting great lightweight fighters like Barrera, Morales, and Marquez. My dad used to bring home VHS tapes (for all you kids, this is what we had before DVDs, amazing I know) that he borrowed from his co-worker of this really good Filipino boxer and since then I've been rooting for Manny. Years pass and he has become one of the most respected fighters in boxing today.

Last week, I was able to attend a taping of the Jimmy Kimmel show and Manny was his guest. I've been to many of these tapings but never been this excited to see anyone and I've actually never seen a crowd so pumped to see one guest! He doesn't speak the best English so I knew I was in for a good laugh regardless of what happens. But nothing could prepare me for what was in store...







In that last video you can see me for a split second around the 2:00 minute mark rockin' a L&O 'BRB' Tee.


This weekend, November 14th, Manny takes on the biggest challenge of his career. Trying to make history by winning 7 titles at 7 different weight classes. He's going to take on the biggest, strongest fighter of his career, Puerto Rican warrior Miguel Cotto. Cotto has a 34-1 record, with that one loss surrounded by controversy (alleged cheating by his opponent).

I'm anticipating it to be the 'Fight of the Year'! If you aren't already stoked for this fight, watch the first episode of the 'Emmy Award Winning' series HBO's 24/7 and you will be. GUARANTEED!



Stay gold.
