AT AROUND noon yesterday, near the corner of Rizal Avenue and Carriedo in the old section of downtown Manila, a group of men, young and old, had their faces glued on three television sets which were all showing the same boxing match.
You?d think a big fight was being shown live from Las Vegas, Atlantic City, New York or elsewhere.
But a closer look would reveal they were all watching a fight that had been held over a month ago in faraway San Antonio, Texas.
A little over a month after his electrifying triumph over Marco Antonio Barrera, the memory ? and euphoria ? of Manny Pacquiao?s breakthrough win against the future Mexican Hall of Famer has yet to die down.
