after much back and forth, it looks like the fight with ricky hatton is on for may 2. should be a great one.

still, it looks like manny's success was getting to him, i hope it doesn't affect negatively his performance, and that he will fight several more fights before retiring.

also, there's a lot of potentially great fights scheduled in between, so it should be an awesome first half of 09.

Everybody is already anticipating his fight with Hatton..Could be his last two fights before retiring and run for public office... He really wants it to I guess.

do you think he would be good at being a politician? I know the stories of him being really generous and helping out poor communities but do you think he'll have success running for office?

im just curious on how the filipino community feels about it

He lost running for a congress seat in 2006, by a large margin at that. But still he wants to run even for a local position. His lack of knowledge in administering probably gave him some problems while campaigning. And by losing he realizes that people are wise now in electing officials. I think he learned a lot from that experience (and lost a lot of money for sure). Some news that because he got a GED for High School a year ago, and he might finally study for college. I think Manny is really keen in helping the poor people from his province but still he lack something to be a politician. Another training perhaps(?) for his post boxing career.

I'm going to predict a 4th round KO by Manny. I don't see this thing ending in anything other than a KO no matter who wins. I just don't see Manny losing in front of his mother.
