TODAY IS THE DAY

Today is the day! After waiting suspensefully for the past months, the big fight is here. In a few hours from now, we shall be witnessing the Pambansang Kamao going up against El Terrible in a boxing ring in Las Vegas, Nevada. The fight will be televised all over the world but I am expecting that it will be shown delayed here as what happened in their past two slugfests. That is why some malls are making a killing in showing the fight live via satellite in the big screen. But beggars cannot be choosers! Since I do not have enough money to buy the five-hundred peso ticket for the mall showing, I will just make do with the television broadcast, hoping that I will not get swamped with those product commercials that are certain to flood it.

I will not make any prediction as to who will win the fight. But just as I have said earlier on, Morales is my man. He was interviewed on TV last night and I saw the fire blazing in his eyes. He wanted very badly to avenge himself against his conqueror. Often, the fight goes to the one who hungers and craves more. The inner hunger gives the fighter a second wind, so to speak. And seeing Morales, I say, he appears to be hungry for the kill.

Well, I will have to stop now for the moment. The next time I will blog will be when the fight is over. Till then...
