SPACE NEEDLE
The world is a small place. I met one of my officemates in Manila in Seattle by chance. Some of you may have experienced the same situation. Indeed, the world is a small place after all.

Pacman's Right Hook.
1)Manny Pacquiao came in with Battista of World Wrestling Federation fame who is half-Filipino and half-Greek.
2) The moment Manny stepped into the ring, the first thing he did ( always does) was knelt and prayed with heads bowed down against his corner post.
3) Martin Nievera sang the Phil. national anthem while Tom Jones sang God Save the Queen.
4) Ricky Hatton never saw the devastating left hook delivered with such force, speed and precision. The fight was over before Round 2 ended.

The best pound for pound boxer in the world.
1) Manny Pacquiao was surprised with how "easy" this fight was. Despite his stature as one of boxing' greatest, Manny has shown great compassion and incredible humility.
2) He is the only Pinoy who can informally create a cease fire in Southern Philippines and stops almost all crimes in Metro Manila on the day of his fight/s.
3) The sight of Hatton, unconscious and flat on his back, gave us an initial sense of euphoria and a few minutes later, a serious concern about Hatton's safety.
4) Hatton TKO'd in the 2nd round.
