Yesterday, May 2nd, the day of the big fight between the Philippines’ pride Manny Pacquiao and Great Britain’s Ricky Hatton, was another excuse for Pinoys the world over to come together.  It was another potluck event for us.  What’s a good fight if there’s no good food?   And we had lots of good food!

Unfortunately, Time Warner had a problem with their connection, which affected all of Austin.  We were so close to not being able to see the match!  Good thing one of the guests (Bless him!)  subscribed to an on-line live feed of the match.  So we still got to watch the game via a computer/tv hook up!  Whew!

Nobody expected the match to be over in just 2 rounds.  Before the match, most of the men in our group were saying Pacquiao was the underdog.  Well, you know what happened.   What happened to Hatton was scary.  I thought he was going to be brought out in a stretcher.  It’s a blessing he was still able to get up at the end of the fight.  I honestly hope he is well.

So, let that match be a lesson to all ye boxing hopefuls.  Be sure you have all your bases covered when you enter the ring!  It’s never too early to secure term life insurance online quotes, specially when you have a family depending on you.
