Voy Por Ustedes

In all of my years of taking a casual interest in boxing - of watching the odd title fight and taking a fleeting glance at Friday fight night when I was craftily looking for porn - I think the only other fighter I've seen who was so superior to his peers and as phenomenal as Manny Pacquiao was the first incarnation of Mike Tyson from the mid to late 80's who destroyed his way to the top of the heavyweight division before developing a taste for the ole' snorting of the cocaine and the raping of the women.

Last night's fight was really very one sided. An eleven and half round fight, but Cotto's title, defenses and much of his dignity had been stripped away from him after about 5 minutes. Thank the laaard for the casual fans' license to be as fickle as he chooses - because when Manny gets round to fighting Floyd Mayweather I'll be back in the wee Filipino's corner.

He might not want me there to be sure, but I'll be there anyway. I'd make him favourite. I'd make him an even money shot against David Haye as it goes, but I think it's best for all concerned that I don't bet on boxing again. As it goes, I've just received Tooko's dossier back from the translators - Manny in 12 it advised.
