8th

Congratulations are in order for our very own pride, Congressman Manny Pacquiao, for winning his 8th belt! Wow, what a feat that is! I was a bit nervous because like one tweep tweeted, "it looked like a fourth grader was fighting with a sixth grader." Margarito was huge compared to Manny! However, as we all have witnessed, it's not all about how big a fighter is. It's how skilled one is and how to strategize. Manny was great. Coach Fred was great as well. As for Margarito, I feel sorry for him because of the bruises and cuts he got. I hope there weren't any handicapped signs alerting an early retirement. He was really swollen. Manny, being a great fighter that he is, wanted the game to be stopped but then the referees didn't signal any game over signs. Oh well.

To the great boxer Manny P, thank you for being an inspiration yet again!
