Mexico's Most Wanted

With his trademark roar, "Let's get ready to r-r-r-rrumble!!!," Micheal Buffer signaled to Manny Pacquiao that he can add a new entry to his Mexican menu. No, it's not taco. It's Larrios, Oscar Larrios. Yesterday, life stopped in the Philippines as the whole country watched Manny's date with Oscar on the ring. The much-tauted Round 1 knock-out did not occur (making many gamblers poorer); in fact, everybody, almost had a heart attack when Larrios cornered Pacquiao in the third round and pounded the pride of the Philippines for several seconds before Manny clawed his way out of a potentially very humiliating incident if the Mexican floored him in front of his countrymen.
Manny did not meet his goal of sending an unconscious Larrios to the canvas and the fiesty Mexican exceeded expectations by standing on his feet when the bout ended, even if Manny knocked him down twice. But he lost by unanimous decision.
Barrera, Morales, Marquez as main dish. And now Larrios as an appetizer. Manny sure loves Mexicans. I wonder if they have put his name on their all-time favorite list of exotic cuisine. Or have put they put up posters offering a rich bounty for any Mexican who can put Manny to sleep?
