When it comes to boxing, especially if it involves the People’s Champ, Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao, everybody has his own opinions. Kahit saan – sa kalsada, palengke, opisina, eskwelahan, at barberya, at kahit sino pa ang iyong tanungin – drivers, tambay, tindero’t tindera, executives, studyante, barbero, lahat ay may sariling kuro-kuro sa nalalapit na laban ng Pambansang Kamao ng Pilipinas at ng Puerto Rican champion na si Miguel Cotto sa November 14 (Nov. 15, Pilipinas time). Sa mga pustahan, llamado pa si Pacman, kahit na sya ang mas maliit sa kanilang dalawa.
Dito sa office, hindi na pinag-uusapan kung sino ang mananalo sa sagupaan. Ang pinagpupustahan na lang ay kung hanggang saan tatagal si Cotto sa ibabaw ng lona.
Ganito ang sistema:
>Kung pupusta ka para kay Pacquiao, kelangan ay matalo na nya si Cotto sa ilalim lamang ng 6 rounds.
>At kung sa kabila ka naman susugal, kelangan ay tumagal si Cotto ng higit sa 6 rounds para manalo.
Kumbaga eh, sure-win na si Pacman! Ganon?!
Marami ang pwedeng maging dahilan ng pagkatalo at panalo ng dalawang boksingero. Inilista ko dito ang posibleng maging reasons. Note: eto ay personal na opinion ko lamang…wag seryosohin.
Why Cotto will win?
-Masyadong naging busy si Manny sa mga movies, tv advertisements at commercials. Pati na rin sa pulitika.
-Cotto is bigger, stronger.
-Pacman trained in Baguio and Manila, na di ayon sa gusto ni Coach Roach. Maraming distractions. May mga bagyo pang dumaan. Although he still has 2 weeks to train in Wild Card Gym, baka manibago sya.
-Cotto also is a pressure fighter and he has this ability to effectively trap or corner his opponents. Delikado dito si Pacman.
-Nasabi ko na ba na mas malaki at mas malakas si Cotto?
-Cotto has much to gain in this fight. Katulad din ni Pacman, marami syang gustong patunayan sa labang ito, matapos na matalo sya sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon sa kamay ni Margarito at sabihin ng marami na di na sya magiging katulad ng dati. Maaaring sya na ang tanghaling pound-for-pound king kung matalo nya dito si Pacman.
Why Pacquiao will win?
-This is Manny's destiny. Kung sakaling manalo sya laban kay Cotto, nakamit na nya ang di pa nararating ng ibang boksingero sa buong kasaysayan ng sports na ito – the only boxer to win 7 belts in 7 weight classes. Mabuti nga at ang isang phenomenon kagaya nya happened to be in our lifetime because Pacquiao is a rare kind of athlete.
-He’s faster than a speeding bullet (parang Superman!). Sabi nga ni Manong Security Guard na nakausap ko (isa ring self-proclaimed expert), of the whole arsenal Pacman has at his disposal, speed is his best weapon. Wala syang katulad sa bilis at ka-partner pa nito ang mataas na porsyento ng accuracy ng kanyang mga suntok.
-He has Freddie Roach, Trainer of the Year. Cotto would be like fighting two men.
-Mahina daw ang depensa ni Cotto. He is also prone to cuts. Cotto may go down bloody.
-Stamina. Cotto tend to go slow on later rounds. Samantalang si Pacman naka-Motolite, tested na pangmatagalan.
-Matapos ang mga kasiraan sa buhay at ari-arian na iniwan ng mga bagyong Ondoy at Pepeng sa ating bansa, kelangan naman natin ng break. (No, not Skyflakes o Kitkat) Kelangan naman nating maaliw, kahit sandali ay makalimot sa mga alalahanin sa buhay, mag-cheer hanggang sa mawalan ng boses, sumuntok sa hangin habang nanonood sa tv, hanggang sa tumaas ang blood pressure. Alam kong alam ito ni Manny. Kelangan ng mga kababayan nya ngayon ng isang inspirasyon, isang maliit na kislap ng pag-asa, at gagawin ng Pambansang Kamao ang lahat upang wag mabigo ang kapwa nya Pilipino.
Alam kong medyo bias ang article na to…eh Pinoy ako eh! (Kung Puerto Rican ako, then I will be rooting for the underdog Cotto..hehe)
Pero tulad nga ng kasabihang, “do not count your chickens before they hatch,” (lalo na kung di ka siguradong chicken…baka ducks ang lumabas) di tayo makasigurong magbubunyi ang sambayanang Pilipino sa Nov. 15. Sabi nga sa mga larong basketbol, “bilog ang bola” at sa patalastas ng Ginebra, “bilog ang mundo.” Marami ang pwedeng mangyari. Opo, posible pong matalo ang ating bayani. We can only pray.
Now, my own predictions for the outcome of the fight:
Pacquiao win via TKO on the 7th round with 7 seconds still remaining to claim his 7th title.
Whew! C’mon, everybody has a right to make his own predictions… and anyone can play boxing analyst paminsan-minsan! :D
ako'y isang coronian mula sa isang isla ng palawan na ngayo'y napadpad sa lalawigan ng aklan, sa bayan na nasasakupan ng mga kalibonhons. nadiskubre ang pagboblog na isang mainam na paraan upang mailabas ang mga ideolohiya, mga kaisipan at damdamin, pati na rin ang mga masasamang hangin mula sa aking sistema. nawa'y makutaw ang inyong imahinasyon sa pagbabasa ng mga nakaposte dito. :]
