free beer, free PPV and right prediction

I was invited yesterday by my friend to come over to their place to watch pacquiao fights for the WBC lightweight title against the current champ dangerous david diaz. It's a history defining event since pacman will try to get his 4th world title on 4th division, where still no Asian boxer ever achieved, even the great Flash Elorde failed twice. Anyway, my high school friend got a subscription for Pay-per-view for that fight, and it's quite a disappointment coz of local commentators, quite biased and I don't like how they commented as the fight goes.
I have never seen pacman fight the way he did yesterday, it's totally awesome. I love his footwork, his defense, his right hook and of course his speed. It's total destruction of diaz, but diaz earns my respect, he accepted defeat graciously and recognize pacman as the #1 pound for pound.

BTW, I got featured on one article of liverpuncher.com for my accurate prediction, and now I'm currently #2 on the fantasy league standing. here it is:

------------------------------
Pacquiao scores KO points for LP members!
In a highly impressive performance Manny Pacquiao captured another world title at 135 pounds with a KO of David Diaz in the 9th round.
This fight was as one sided as LP members predicted, but who scored KO points to take them up the rankings?
He may be a relatively new member to LP, but he can sure pick a fight. Keep your eye on the profile of bossingdarwin . Before the fight he said,
diaz is as tough as nail, likes to pressure and brawl, but pacman wants to redeem himself as the true#1 pound for pound. At first, my prediction was pacman via decision, but now I have my fearless forecast for pacman via RD 9 KO
Which is exaclty how the fight went down, and makes him this weeks Oracle of the week!
Pacquiao showed brilliant combination punching not seen since the hey day of Roy Jones Jr. Except Manny was able to bring excitement in a way not many other fighters can. You can view several action photos here.
Below is the list of LP members who scored KO points by accurately predicting a 9th round stoppage for the Pac-Man.
