IS THE FIRE FINALLY BEGINNING TO DIM? PhilBoxing.com Thu, 23 Feb 2012  I sat at the very front row at the Pacquiao-Bradley presscon Tuesday noon at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Front row center in fact. Thus I had a very close look at Manny Pacquiao and Tim Bradley. And, when they took the microphone at the dais, I was as close as the organizers would allow me to be. As a photographer for this website I have had the opportunity to photograph Pacquiao and his opponents for many years. My presence at the press conference gave me a good look of the facial expressions of Pacquiao. I have seen the frustrations of making weight at 130 lbs. I have seen the look of his eyes when there were tensions from within and without. And I have seen the smiling eyes when things just fall into place. Today however, I noticed something new. Pacquiao for some reasons simply exude contentment. Contentment in his whole life and career, I suppose. Maybe it?s too early for him to be exhibiting the fire and hunger that he projects when a fight is near. After all, it?s only the first presscon and the fight is a good four months away. Now don?t get me wrong. I am not saying that Pacquiao will not be the same spit-fire come June 9th. Oh no, not by a mile. All I am saying is there is something new that I have not seen before. Will that be good or bad? We have to wait for June 9th for the answer. Click here for a complete listing of columns by this author.
