Voy Por Ustedes

After the wagering fiasco of the last big fight night, I decided not to bother with this one save for a small wager to keep things interesting. I've had £3 on a Pacquiao win in the 7th, 8th or 9th rounds. I think that's almost physically impossible as De La Hoya is so much bigger but at 40/1 a round, one might as well have a punt no?

I know nothing about this Filipino dude to be fair...I keep hearing how he's the best fighter in the whole wide world 'pound for pound.' I don't doubt this, but the operative phrase here is 'pound for pound'...in the context of this fight that's a thinly veiled code for Pacquiao is a great fighter but he's an iddy biddy one nonetheless compared to De La Hoya and as the old fighting maxim goes, a good big fighter always beats a good small fighter.

This is why I've refrained from taking the 9/4 on Pacquiao and settled for just a tiddly bet. De La Hoya may be a ghost of his former self, but a ghost still fast enough to catch up with ickle Pac-Man.

What ever occurs it's made me want to play Pac-Man again I don't mind telling you and Out Run too, I was great at that.
