SAN ANTONIO, Texas – There is no doubting the popularity of Manny Pacquiao at the world stage! No exaggeration that he is considered as the best pound-for-pound fighter nowadays. He brings a package of excitement to every bout that he fights.
But what caught my attention even during his third and final bout with Erik Morales is his calm demeanor.
Dati-rati si Manny ay halos lamunin ang kalaban sa gigil kahit na hindi pa sila sumasampa sa ring. Pero ngayon iba na ang tindig ni Manny. Naging malumanay sa pagdadala ng kanyang sarili lalo na pag malapit na ang laban.
For his upcoming fight with Jorge Solis, Manny is the consummate diplomat. Offering a smile and a firm handshake to an overwhelmed Solis, who at this point is just happy to get a shot at sharing the stage with today's most exciting fighter. (Manny even posed for a picture with Jorge and his brothers right after their press con at the Alamodome.)
I say this comes from a newfound confidence which is the result of all the hard work that has brought him this far in his boxing career.
The only thing that we could hope for is that he doesn't become overly confident with his status as the world's best fighter.
