Manny Pacquiao-Larios Web Log

Currently watching the undercard Gerry Penalosa versus a relatively unknown Mexican named Rojas. First 5 rounds, Gerry seems to be leading the fight.

I am not a fan of Sev Sarmenta really but I am beginning to think, for this fight, I prefer him over Quinito Henson who keeps on shouting out his comments. Had Quinito covered this fight, he would have gone saying, "What a tremendous shot! What a tremendous shot! What a tremendous shot!" endlessly.

As expected. Gerry Penalosa won via unanimous decision. Couple of Filipinos won their respective fights too.

Onto the Main Event, Mano-A-Mano Pacquiao Larios, Philippines versus Mexico. We were expecting knock-out, there were two knockdowns, two times Larios hit the canvass but those didn't stop the fight. I was expecting a bloody mess too and this one happened. Chololo Larios had at least two cuts. In the end, the superior fighter won the fight via unanimous decision too.

Let's give Larios some credit too. Aside from jolting and rocking PacMan in the 3rd round, he gave good account of himself by finishing this fight standing. He withstood powerful combinations from Pacquiao throughout the fight. Plus he was so respectful towards the Filipinos and thankful to Pacquiao during the end fight interview. So he was a class guy. Viva Larios.

But more importantly, Viva Pacquiao! Mabuhay Pacquiao!

Next up, 3rd salvo against Erik Morales this coming November. Expect Erik to be more prepared this time. Expect a hungrier Erik this time. That could be the fight of the year.
