Didn’t even bother to watch the whole fight on the local channel.
News just spread too quickly. People with cable or internet or even radio access got hold of the news first. May unanimous decision na, last round pa lang nung undercard fight bago sina Pacquiao. Bad trip talaga itong channel 9. Kaya nakakawalang ganang manuod ng ‘live’ telecast sa local channel. If Pacquio had one, I definitely would like to know how he beat the crap out of Morales. Sayang talaga.
I was at Pacita that time. I knew that even if Channel 9 advertised the fight will start at 10am, it would really start at about 12-1pm. But to air the fight at 2:30?! Man, that was pushing the limit. Pen and I alternated switching the TV from Ocean’s 12 to Channel 9 hoping not to miss the first bell. We finished Ocean’s 12 and still the fight is not on. Played Tekken5 while waiting for the figth and by that time, news is already spreading. I got the news from Pen’s dad who is listening over the radio. 12 rounds, PacMan cuts his head at the 5th round from a head butt and a unanimous decision with 115-113 score from each judge favoring Morales.
