The fight was thrilling up to the last round. Everybody was dreading that Manny will lose but as soon as Michael Buffer announced "and new WBC super-featherweight..., everyone was jumping, standing on chairs amd spraying beer and water all around. All of this at half past noon! The jubilation ended when the new champ is being interviewed, broken English and some more. Moments after, everybody started to go, including us.
"Naku po, tinamaan sa mukha!
