Oscar de la Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao tonight.
This tries my loyalty.
Root for Oscar? The namesake of my Stony Brook handle, who embodies a phrase that would otherwise be an oxymoron in others: a handsome boxer.
Or Manny? Because he’s a flip, hails from the same region as me, and speaks the same dialect. Thus, my inner patriot beats.
Like the movies, root for the underdog? In this case, Pac-Man.
Set in the midst of a recession, this is so "Cinderella Man."
And for those wishing peace on earth and goodwill to men, The Philippine Star reports that the “PNP anticipates zero crime rate during Pacquiao-De la Hoya match.” Hallelujah!
