Everything was planned out. Wev'e been looking forward to this for a long time. Rare is the chance to see a person ascend to greatness. And an entire nation, was looking forward to this ascent. Pinning our hopes to his gloves, proud to be part of his race. So groceries were done the day before, went to the market early to get the freshest catch. Anticipating a victory, a feast was planned. Charbroiled spare ribs and shrimp kebabs to go with carbonara pasta! truly preparing something as if pacman himself would drop by for lunch! And since its against my Philosopy to imbide spirits before noon, the plan was to get some (siyempre san miguel pale pilsen, ice cooled not frozen) as soon as the food was partaken. But alas, the best laid plans of mice & men are not meant to be! The spoiler in this case, as the case always is in apartment compounds, was the neighbors radio blaring the news as i was grilling! As iv'e posted in my fb, the ribs were done almost at the same time as the Hitman was! sure, there was never any doubt that manny would win, but Iv'e never expected him to win this way. After the long wait, it was almost anti climactic to hear and later see the much ballyhooed manchester mauler topple like that after 6 mins. It would have been perfect if it lasted till about 3rounds of beer, he he. But we take our blessing where we get them. That punch was perfect...knockout of the year! The Lord moves in mysterious ways, maybe it was His way of sparing Hatton from more damage. Imagine if Manny was able to unleash that punch after having been subject to pacmans barrage for a few more rounds...It would have taken Mayweather's mouth to mouth resucitation to revive Hatton! ow man, that would scar someone for life!
Short as it may be, it was a great show and also gave us the reason to prepare great food which we know call Pacmans delight!
