The result of Manny Pacquiao and Oscar Dela Hoya’s fight last sunday made my happy and sad. My blood tells me i should be happy. I’m a filipino, a proud filipino. My blood tells me i should celebrate because Manny Pacquiao did not just won the bout but dominated Oscar Dela Hoya. But -this made me sad. Watching Dela Hoya got so beaten also made me lonely.
I don’t know what to feel because I love them both. I will never forget the day Trinidad defeated Oscar Dela Hoya on a twelve rounder bout. I should be Oscar, the winner should be Oscar. I don’t know why Oscar kept on running on the 9th ’til 12th round of that fight. He knew he was already the winner, i also thought that way. It was a heartbreak when we heard trididad won the bout by a close split decision. It was really a heart breaker.
Watching Oscar kept on withdrawing on the 7th and 8th round to Pacquiao made me remember how he lost to trinidad. This time, it’s different. Oscar kept on withdrawing because he can’t find a way how he will counter Manny’s attack. He knew it will gonna it soon.
I wanted Manny to win. I always wanted. But I also prayed that Oscar will lose on a decision, a close split decision. That way, i will be very happy for being able to watch MY TWO IDOLS on a warriors fight.
