Margarine Ito

            As predicted, the event at Arlington, Texas today was a war albeit lopsided one. It was all clear demolition of the Tijuana Tornado by Pacman. Manny was simply as usual  at his best element showing no mercy and genius in the ring. Methodical and scientific adjusting and feeding on the style of Margarito, the event was almost lopsided as the hard-chinned  Margarito was on the receiving end on Pacman’s systematic annihilation.

 The tall Mexican pride did not fall alright but his bruised and totally damaged beautiful face was practically devastated and reconfigured  into pumpkin and smithereens by the constant pounding of Pacman’s blazing straight and combination of uppercuts. He did survived the grueling 12 rounds alright but not after absorbing too much punishment. That more or less was his saving grace rescuing  his tarnished image for having stood there  all the way with Manny till the ultimate round 12.  Sorry to his unassuming coach Robert Garcia and his fight fans predicting for a knockout in Eleventh Round. It was the other way around as the referee Cole almost called the fight off because of the severe cut in his right face. Good indeed  that he vindicated and  withstood Manny’s unrelenting and blistering pace boxing technique.  But that all he could salvaged saving their legendary Mexican pride.

 Maybe what Antonio Margarito should do is to forget his drawback as if a dream. Nothing to lose as he raked off  handsome dividend from that fight anyway and of relishing that he had fought the fearsome Pacman in his career in the future.. The better for him maybe  to join Manny’s Victory party  jamming with him singing and remaking the song “All is Fair to lose” and just forget the nightmare he just experienced.  After all,  Pacman is there to solace him the way he  treated them as friends singing them a song or two for fun never mind fleeting contentment.

 I tried to browse the You Tube after the fight for the post post-mortem analysis from those proud Mexicans who dished all those trash against Manny. Surprisingly, none! What a deafening silence I got! It seems all the Mexican fans have collectively swallowed all their pride eating all those words predicting that their hero Margarito would salvage the prestige of Mexican boxer. No way. Unless Pacman allows him to. Whatever happen to you now guys that nothing good comes out after crashing defeat of their Tijuana warrior. Come on and  be man enough by standing on where you earlier bragged. Where’s now that  Brandon Brios who insinuated that Manny might do a Mike Tyson biting Tijuana’s ear. I wonder why even all those talk concocted  that Manny personally opted in fighting Margarito as he stands losing the fight and from there baiting that multi-million deal with as come-on treat squaring off with  Mayweather!

Mexicans must rise up from their dreams. How could that be when boxing analysts and sport greats have already handed an overwhelming verdict of 6 against 1 in favor of Manny before the fight. That on-line voting among more than 5,000  respondents gave 80% to 20% lopsided verdict for Pacquiao simply tells it all. Maybe the Mexicans should have the balls in accepting the beauty of statistics as scientific. As one pundits says it: statistics are vital in that like bikini it might seem insignificant but they cover essential data. Perhaps what they should do next is take all there is what the implications of statistics. Then take this as challenge as reality check and there  build their confidence rising up from that challenge. Unfortunately, they summarily dismissed that variable through on  that Margarito’s fight with Manny. And as they defied its inference, there they paid dearly the price for it  

Today’s greatest fight was just nice incident. It didn’t only justified Manny’s lofty billing as truly the world’s great pound for pound boxer what with the 150 pounds belt attached to his sterling boxing career as first ever boxer with as many as  eight weight divisions title safely tucked in his belt. Most importantly, renaming and  taming the Tijuana Margarito tornado nothing as  misnomer. A pun of that favorite Filipino paste for pandesal. As that actor earlier in the fight correctly predicted. Margarito end up as margarine for Pacman. As we witness it, he  was right.  As Sir Knight Henry Pizana, the Grand Knight of St. Peregrine Council, Terryhills Subdivision cleared. The Mexican just merely erred their forecast underestimating Manny’s power. How could Manny even afford to lose his fight when he is even now a respected Congressman in his province. That SKs Bebot Barrun, Michael Jackson , Boy Barrachias, Bong Ramos collectively agreed.
