Manny Pacquaio made us Filipinos proud again before the eyes of the entire world when he personally received last Friday night his second Best Fighter award from the Boxing Writers Association of American in New York City.
We all now know the drama before Pacquiao travelled hastily to catch the evening event.
Once again the Americans were in awe of a Filipino who made boxing in America and in the world an exciting sports with his string of victories against Antonio Barrera, Eric Morales, Juan Manuel Marquez, Oscar dela Hoya and lately Ricky Hatton.
America is greatful to Pacquiao who amidst the economic slowdown brings tourists in Las Vegas to watch his fights.
Boxing writers all over America could not let the month pass without writing a piece about Pacquaio.
In the internet, you will find articles in all boxing Websites about Pacquiao.
In the write ups about the upcoming fights of Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Miguel Cotto, Pacquio is always mentioned. Even those who are still searching for opponents like Shane Mosley announce their willingness to fight Pacquiao.
Pacquiao is indeed the current epicenter of boxing world.
We Filipinos just hope and pray Pacquiao will be guided accordingly so as he would continue to be an inspiration to all of us. -30-
