BY THE time the Philippine Airlines jet bearing Manny Pacquiao and his family touches down at Don Muang International in Bangkok at high noon on Sunday, the Marco Antonio Barrera-Paulie Ayala bout at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California, should be over.
Needless to say, Pacquiao expects ? and hopes ? Barrera would be the one with his fists raised high at the end of the bout.
“Sa tingin ko si Barrera ang mananalo sa labang ito,” the Filipino boxing hero told The Bulletin yesterday. “Medyo mas mayroong edad si Ayala kaya?t si Barrera ang tingin kong manalo.”
