a loss is a win, is a win





it was a frustrating pacquiao match. he wasn't sharp with his hooks and forgot to connect with precise combinations. his movements were lethargic. but he won. his detractors were like swearing in unison and posting those annoying emoticons in their forums.

boxing is the most brutal of sport, imagine being punched to the head. in a boxer's career, it only takes one dynamic punch, one mind-numbing knockout by the opponent, a reputation is ruined for eternity.

with this latest debacle, oops triumph, kudos are given to the diaspora in my hemisphere for waking up early to see the match, for my brother up north, driving to gingging's (it rhymes) at the wee hours, for the hubby staying crazily up all night, claiming he's mental.  yeah, right.  he does this every pacquiao match, he got to support to something of mine, he says. let's take his word for it.
