Hectic Sunday Afternoon!

Today October 7, 2007 is the much-awaited rematch between Manny Pacquiao and Marco Antonio Barrera. I checked the ESPN site and it was reported that Pacquiao won via unanimous decision. Would have been better if it was a win via knock out but then Barrera is definitely prepared this time around and without question physically fit. But a win is still a win! At the moment (3:27 PM), I’m still watching the delayed telecast now on round 10. The middle rounds of this 12 round fight are so far war and Manny is still on the rampage showing no signs of slowing down. I’m waiting for the controversial 11th round.

But today is not just about Manny. On the local front, it’s UE vs. La Salle game 2 for the UAAP championships. UE is trailing La Salle (Al Salle) and if they lose today, it’s a big blow out for what might been a perfect season for them (14-0 in the elimination round). UE definitely have to bounce back. Viva Mapua… ooooppps!

On the international front (my friend JJ buzzed me), there’s 10 laps left in the F1 Chinese Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton spun out and was out of the race. Alonso is currently number 2 behind Ferrari’s Kimi Räikkönen. This gives Alonso a chance for the driver’s championship (trailing Hamilton by 12 points)… wish for another blow out by Hamilton in the Brazilian Grand Prix (last race of the season)!
