Watching the Pambansang Kamao at the 135 lbs Bout

I watched today's match of the Pambansang Kamao at 135 lbs live at the Asturias Hotel Function Room.

Were it not for my ex who happens to be in town with her friends, I would have been happy watching the bout in my boarding house. But then, she phoned in telling me they're leaving for Manila this afternoon. We haven't had the time to see each other since they arrived. Been busy with my schooling.

So off I went to Asturias. The hotel airs another Pacman fight for P400 and that includes a buffet meal. I found **** at the pool with her ladies-friends. When she said that ******, a lawyer-friend, was upstairs (the bout was being shown at the hotel's function room at the 2nd floor), I excused myself telling the girls that as they go aswimming, I would like to see if Pareng Manny can secure another boxing championship belt by beating Diaz at 135 lbs. So i went upstairs, paid the fee and entered the function room.

I came in just as the last undercard fight was heating up. I had to hurry and dispense with whatever buffet-savviness I have to "dive" for the food. I would not be able to watch the main bout while I eat. Nor can i afford to miss the "value for my money" (read: the live coverage + the food)... So while the main fighters' national anthems were being sung, I was done with the main courses and already munching fruits in a platter. Of course, i stood up when the Lupang Hinirang was sang (while munching a slice of watermelon and then keeping the watermelon seeds in my mouth until the "Ang mamatay nang dahil sa 'yo.")

The fight lasted only up to the last minute before the 9th round ended. Diaz was KO'd when Pareng manny's lethal left hit him after bombs and bombs of left and right landed on Diaz' face. The first 8 rounds showed how strong a ring punisher the Pacman is. Diaz was just too lucky to have strong legs to keep him standing. I don;t know how he can withstand those Pacman Punches!
