Photos from my trip to see Morales vs Pacquiao

[THRILLAinmanila]

I went to Vegas for my 21'st birthday, and BY FAR the highlight of the trip was the Pacquiao/Morales fight, not only was it my first time to Vegas and my first big fight- but it was my first time seeing a fight in person period! I am absolutely hooked now, I can't wait to get back to Sin City again and catch another bout.

Also, for people who can't make the trip all the way out to Nevada- if you are close to upstate New York you should make the trip to Canastota for induction weekend at the hall of fame. Alot of fighters and boxing personalities are there, there are fights at Turning Stone in Verona, and you can pretty much spend money only one board and like thirty bucks for a ticket to the fights. I met Winky, Mesi, Tarver, McGirt, Ken Norton, Mickey Ward and others there last year! It was fun and cheap!

Anyway, I heard that inspite of all the trash-talking between the Pinoy & mexicans in the internet forums, they were basically civilized during the fight and were shouting only because they were madly supporting their respective countrymen. Your thoughts ?, being one of those who saw the fight live...

Both sides (fans) were really excited, but it was all in good fun. You get the impression that everyone is so excited to be there that no one's too bitter or hostile.

At the weigh in, both groups had a shouting battle:

MO RALL ISSSS
MO RALL ISSSS

vs

Mahh neeeeeeeeee
Mahh neeeeeeeeee

But it was all in good fun.

My friend and I were big fans of both fighters, so we constantly got laughs when we were chanting "Both Guys! Both Guys!"

Hey bozo i know how it feels like to go to fights....i recently went to the Bernard Hopkins vs. Eastman 20th defense fight and DAMN!!! IT WAS STARSTUDDED! I was never so amazed by the stars that appear at fights. I saw Zab Judah and took a phone pic of him although it came out blurry, i saw Barrera, and Kassim Ouma walked up the stairs right next to me. He seemed pretty chill. Later on Mike Tyson came in with this entourage and EVERYONE started to yell and cheer. IT was crazy. Of course i got to see jack nicholson and xzibit who are residents of l.a. Overall it was more than a fight, it was an amazing experience. That night made me a boxing fan for life!
