a real SHOCKER!

What really happened to Gorres-Montiel fight??? Eventhough two points was taken away from him, many of us thought Gorres was way ahead by points.
He should or should have won that fight. Even a grade schooler can tell who won the fight.
I think Gorres' dream was taken away that night. Sad to say, though hard to admit, we were cheated on our ground.
A lesson to learn.... like "The Pacman", let not the judges to the talking.
That's why "The Pacman" always knock his opponent out.
That's the way of the "The Pacman".
Anyway, at least we've won three out of four fights... Still we can say.....

..... Mabuhay Filipino!!!!!
