Pacquiao unleashed more than 1,200 punches but still Joshua Clottey was left unscathed, more so was never knocked down and knocked out. For one, the Pacquiao-Clottey fight was never shown two fighters dancing to the tune of boxing glory; it was a one-sided bout with Manny working like a mad dog and Clottey thinking the bout witnessed by more than 51,000 screaming fans at the Cowboy’s Stadium was a statue dance.
Anyways, before the fight, many Filipinos were worried if they can even watch the fight as rotating brownouts comes like thief. I was even very much appalled to see on the news that some people were very angry at the government for not solving the problem and the thought of not watching the bout due to a problem with electricity makes them go suicidal.
People in charge of providing electricity though assured the public that there will be no brownouts during the fight, except in Mindanao, lest they are burned at stake due to public outrage.
Unfortunately, there were also people who were interviewed that they would rather want that electricity be stable during Pacquiao’s fight than during Election Day on May 2010. PoOf!!! Sad, sad, world.
While those at the power sector were so busy to make sure that we will all have the luxury of tuning in to the Pacquiao-Clottey fight, they are on the other hand are quite lax and haven’t given us the enthusiasm of character of making sure that during the national polls, electricity will be stable to make sure the first automated elections is a success from their part.
I just hope, that it is not only during Pacquiao’s fights that the government and other agencies are crumbling in order to give the best during the fight, but more so in a much more important phase of our national life: that is our election on May 2010.
It’s all due to the growing cynicism in the Filipinos, they know the elections would be fooled around with, one way or another, so they’d care less about the looming interruptions brought by the power crisis.
In Pacman’s boxing matches, everything is as honest as they see it. Pacman punches the hell out of someone, he wins and that’s it. No more worries about vote padding-shaving, military intimidation and a GMA holdover government.
Perhaps Presidential candidates should just slug it out in a boxing match instead? LOL

Precisely Bro, eheheh!
Unlike boxing when a fighter is clearly declared a winner in front of the eyes of the live public and only a very few instances that cheating or fraud happens (and sometimes when results are clearly seen by officials as really questionable, they even over rule the results) while in Philippine election, fraud has almost been a given factor.
If only election between officials here is like a boxing match, ehehhe! I would want to see GMA box and fight inside the ring…hahaha!

Payag ako sa boxing match na lang. Di kaya lugi si Erap? Baka bumalik un rayuma nya? Ahehehe.
Come to think of it, pag dinaan naman sa bidding e panalo na agad un isang tao diyan. Kawawa naman un iba.
Sige na nga. Boxing na lang. O di kaya a la Amazing Race na lang? Iikot sila sa buong Pilipinas doing lots of crazy things para very entertaining sa mga tao.
Hahhahaha! Call ako dyan bro…Mas ok boxing na lang, para talagang makita natin kung sino ang clear winner.
Amazing Race? Naku dehado ang iba dyan lalo na kung ang first leg ay 5 kilometer swim sa dagat ng basura or yung maze ay sa mga subdivisions along C-5, LOL!

I wasn’t able to watch the live feed but after seeing the fight I find nothing special as I’m really looking forward more to a Pacquiao – Mayweather bout. This was just one of those tiny stops along the way.
Pacquiao dominated all the way and Clottey just sort of been like a bean sack throughout the fight.

I agree! The Mayweather fight with Pacman will be the most exciting to bout there is. That will only happen if Mayweather will not let his big mouth do the talking but his fist.

Artificial naman itong power crisis natin eh.
Dahil kung totoo talaga, how come nakaya nila na wala brownout on Pacquiao’s fight?
Duing election day, I’m sure magagawa din nila na wala brownout kung gugustuhin nila.
