    It's not like they had a lot of money to do it either.

    My dad was recovering from a broken back on the job, and my mom was a stay at home mom.

    But eventually the **** just got so bad that we literally just left everything and hit the road with just enough money for the trip.

    Ended up homeless for a bit, living in the car. Saved up enough and started renting a place down here. (Cost of living is much cheaper down here, that's one benefit.)

    What do they get you for a pack of smokes up in Philly nowadays?

    I can only imagine the price you're about to tell me......

      Ah, ****. That ain't too bad. I expected something like $8-$9 a pack.

      Down here they're at about $5 a pack, with tax. Used to be like $3 a pack not long ago, but prices went up nationwide.

      Good thing you don't smoke, it's a **** habit.

      The area of ******ia I'm in is in the Southwestern tip, right on the VA/TN border. A city called "Bristol".

      I'd absolutely go back to Philly. I'd like to get my ass back up there actually to live, because I just don't like the quiet life at all.

      Of course that's not saying I'd move back into Kensington anytime soon. I had enough of that **** to last a lifetime.

      But yeah, I'd like to move back up there to a nicer part of the City.

      Maybe try the tourist district, if I could only afford it.

          Yeah, that would be ideal. To have the benefits of the City life, without all of the drawbacks of it.

          Thanks man, glad you liked the video.

          Keep your head up, and welcome to boxingscene.

              But me and Dominicano never made Manny out to be a technical fighter.

              But he does have skills. Believe it or not.

              He's very fast, he's a southpaw, he fights on angles, and his workrate is intense.

              Cotto has shown some limitations fighting guys who have one or more of those assets in the past. (Fast Southpaw - Judah. Judah got the better of him early, before the low blows. Intense workrate - Margarito. You could say Margarito's stamina was equally a factor as his punches in winning that fight.)
              judah has a GREAT uppercut and margarito had plaster or learned the power to deform a man's face brutally without plaster

              you have to add that to the equation if you're gonna use those 2 as a reference

              but i get you, pac has both speed and stamina to affect cotto for 12 rounds. we'll just have to wait and see if he also was the resistance to take a guy not drained nor shot at the welterweight limit

                Probably the best Cotto HL I've seen
                All these videos need are the clips and music, not ******ed effects

                  I keep it simple.

                  Mainly because I'm lazy.

                  I don't want to go out of my way to edit in the sounds of gunshots, cannonballs and explosions everytime a punch lands in the damn video.

                  Then add weird video effects when a KO comes, like the swirl your toilet makes when you flush it or some ****.

                  It's all too damn time consuming, and I find most of it to be a bit gay.

                    You could have atleast had the Margarito fight in there... edited some bricks for hands, little speech bubble with "I'm a cheating ****" written on, though.
