Let’s take a pause from the usual legal talk and shift to something that we look forward to this December. No, it’s not Christmas or the Christmas bonus. We’re looking forward to the Pacman-Golden Boy fight.
We’ve already noted that it’s rare in the Philippines that roads are eerily quite — no traffic, not much people and crime rate is practically down to zero. No fighting in politics (but not the “politicking”). No war between the military and the rebels. The reason? Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is in the boxing ring in another big fight.
Early this year, 2008, Manny finished whatever “Unfinished Business” he has with Juan Manuel Marquez, by defeating the latter. In June of this year, Pacquiao released lethal combinations to outpower and outclass the Dangerous David Diaz. From seeing the improvements of the Pacman in that fight, practically everybody acknowledged that he is, pound for pound, currently the best fighter.
This time, Manny will be going up his natural weight class to fight the Golden Boy, Oscar De La Hoya. The Golden Boy, who will be in his natural weight class, has a 4-inch height and 6-inch reach advantage. This led some to consider the match, dubbed as the “Dream Match” and scheduled on 6 December 2008 (in the US; that’s December 7, Sunday, 10 a.m. Philippine time), as a mismatch.
They say Manny will lose this time. What do you think, eh?

Tinkering with internet tools comes with the bonus of better understanding how existing laws apply to the third wave - that of technology, particularly the internet. This is also a great medium to disseminate and discuss ideas across borders, time, color or creed.
OdH in 5.
De la Hoya is too big for Pacquiao. We’ve seen the fight between Lesnar and Couture… Lesnar is too big for the champ to handle. The PAcman is going to have a tough fight, but I wish he’ll win. Anyway, he has the skills… Let’s just hope it’ll not be a Lesnar-Couture 2.
nice one attorney for taking a pause from the usual legal talk and shift to PACMAN-Golden boy fight…i hope pacman will win and also i am looking forward to see( politician) who will be there beside pacman in the ring..(FG or Chavit..whos ur bet?.hehehe)…i pray for Pacman to win, he has the skills and talent to defeat Golden boy…and in 2010 Pacman for president(my prediction..hehehe)
This only proves that when it comes to Pacman’s fight all walks of life are eager to stop everything their doing just to watch his games.
This is bestre.

Basta magfocus si Idol manny, tepok sila. Pati na si Cotto. Mabuhay ka Manny. At sana huwag ka na lang tumakbo sa election.
