Woohoo Asians can box.

He looks like he’s crying though…

I would be too if I won 4 titles.

I don’t understand boxing.

I didn’t realize boxing was still popular.

Lol Neither do I.

Lol Featherweight? Is that smaller than light weight?

Seems like it, yeah.

I wonder if he can beat Oscar Day La Hoya.

Oscar is in a different weight class I think. And he’s retired.

My uncles dragged me to this flip gathering to watch one of his matches [vs Marquez i think]. Omg it’s like boxing:Filipinos::football:Americans o___o

Haha You don’t see Flips dominate as much in any other sport.

lol I guess I don’t know of any other Filipino major athletes… All I know is when Filipinos gather to watch a major sports event, it involves Pacquiao or the Lakers.

Haha I’m sad the Lakers lost. bew!

Boston > LA
