KO by Round 3!!!
Not farther than the 6th!!
Round 10… the very, very latest!
Everybody anticipated a knockout. The bout wasn?t even about Manny winning or losing?that would have been a stupid question when you pit the world?s No. 1 against a ?senior citizen.?
Prior to fight night, Manny was already declared the victor. The only question was, ?Which round?? Anything less than a knockout?even a 12th round unanimous decision?would have been labeled a failure.
Boy, were we shocked last Sunday!
We have been spoiled by Manny. We have grown accustomed to the machine-gun-like, rapid-fire, all-offensive barrage by MP.
We saw how he trounced Oscar. We witnessed his mauling of Hatton. Margarito? Wasn?t his face bloody Mexican red? Same with Diaz? And Barrera? And everybody else since 2008?
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
For with Manny, he has set the highest standards of pummeling and hammering and battering enemies. He has spoon-fed us, each time, with Michael Jordan-like performances.
