Mexicutioner

Funny Highlights from the Manny Pacquiao fight:

-Fight aside, never have i seen so many old filipinos with dyed black hair celebrating in the ring like they won themselves. Dyed black hair, with brylcreem.. hahaha... Because they dont want to show grey. SOOOO filipino. Thats like my tito cesar, up until the last few years when he gave up to it.

- Have no idea what the frack bernard hopkins was so intimately there for. Like from the weigh-in all the way to the after fight interviews, hopkins was within 2 inches of oscar all the time. Hounding around, muggin his face. Sure hes partners in business and all, but what the? comeon.

- In the corner, Freddie Roach would say instructions to Manny, and then the 'Cousin Boy' in the corner, would translate.. but completely wrong.. hahahaha.. Freddie Roach would be all like "keep it in the center of the ring, once you back touches the ropes, step to the side and get out. Keep it in the center. keep turning him" - Cousin boy is in then translates it like this "Move your head side to side, in and out, go in punch then out.. in and out" Ahh cousin boy... you are the worst translator of all time... Good thing Manny understands english anyways..

- I wore my authentic Nike Team Pacquiao shirt all weekend. Kinda needs a washing now.

- I know this for a fact... the Vegas after fight party at Mannys hotel, had pansit, lechon baboy (pig on a spit, with apple in the mouth) and lumpia shanghai. Maybe balut. "You go por Pree"

- Humble Manny. "to all da pilipino who lub da baxing, tank you berrry muts"
