a night watching professional Boxing.

I do no watch much boxing, the reason is that I never considered box a sport.  I used to think that you just have to be a good fighter in order to make a good or decent boxer. But last Saturday all my thoughts changed the way I used to see box.  My friend Katie bought the Pay Per View fight between Antonio Margarito Vs. Manny Pacquiao.  She invited me and other friends to watch the fight at her place. 

We bought a few drinks and snacks before getting to Katie’s place and when we arrive to her place the first fight was almost over.  Between trying to get a beer and finding a place comfortable the second fight started.  At the house there were some true boxing fans, they knew both fighters one of them was from Mexico and still I did not know this fighter. The other fighter in this second battle was from here the United States.  The guys at the house said that both fighters had no lost a fight yet and that the American fighter was a young boxer.  The fight started kind of closed with the American boxer winning the first round.  In the second round the American boxer showed that he was very, very young when the Mexican boxer kind of lost his balance and the American boxer noticed that and started punching at the Mexican fighter non stop trying to get the knock out at this same moment.  He could not get that and instead got himself very, very tired.  He needed about 5 or 6 rounds to recover and still the Mexican boxer could not win the battle and lost for the first time in his career.

            The main event is here, Margarito and Pacquiao get to the ring and at this point I now noticed that it is a sport and that it requires a lot of good condition to last all the 10 or 12 rounds that they had to be battling.  A little before they started the fight they showed some of the scenes of the pictures session that they used to promote the fight.  In this session I saw Margarito taller, stronger and very confident.  In the other hand I saw Pacquiao quiet, shorter and just focused I would say.  By seeing those scenes I believed that it was going to be a disadvantage fight I did not see the fight even.  I mean a taller stronger guy was going to beat really easy the shorter guy right?  But the guys at the house were saying that all the bets were against Margarito 1 to 6, at this moment I was like really? Are they watching the same fighters or boxers as we are?... oh by the way I also learn that 6 to 1 it means that if Margarito wins the people that bet for him were going to make 6 times the money they bet, and if Pacquiao wins they were going to make what they bet divided by 6.  My friends told me that Pacquiao already beat Margarito in a fight before and I was like… really were it a close fight? And they said no it was not. 

I wait patiently and confident that Margarito was going to make a good fight.  The fight starts and the first and second and third rounds are won by pacquiao.  And pretty much the rest of the rounds are won by Pacquiao. Somewhere between the sixth and seventh round Margarito really hit Pacquiao but that was not enough because Pacquiao hit most of the time in each round.  By the last round Margarito is very, very tired  he does not have his defense up to protect his face, and something that really amazed me was the fact that Pacquiao could  take advantage of that situation but hi did not instead he was kind avoiding Margarito and glancing at the ref hoping to stop the fight but he did not.  Pacquiao won the fight, made lots of money and showed sportsmanship at not injuring more Margarito.  What a fun night. Several emotions but I now respect a lot Pacquiao and beyond that, all the boxers too. My friends said that right now there is no boxer that could win over Pacquiao the only one was Maiweather but now he could be in jail for at least 5 years. so we will see what happens later on this sport.

being funny

 Trying to be funny when I was a teen gave some good teaching and many bad ones.  I was always looking for things to make my friends or classmates laugh.  Being funny made me a little more popular in school. But I did not know that I was crossing the line between being funny and becoming a jerk.  Several times I got friends embarrassed because of me trying to be “funny”, well I made others laugh but I made one to be angry at me.  I became sarcastic, mean but I would call it being too honest.  I ended up making fun of every single situation.  I got good at doing all these things and at the time I did not care about other’s feelings.  That also cause me a lot of trouble with girls they never knew if I was being honest or if I was being funny.  I did not like that about myself but hey I was popular and funny.  As I got older I became more serious about being funny.  I stopped doing or saying many of the things I used, but sometimes it is really hard that I just can’t help it.  I grew up like that and I still do it all the time but now I just keep them in my head. 

Karma

Do you guys remember my funny question post from about a week ago? Well… that funny question now became a serious question, I know I know you are probably wondering why?  But let me tell you why, well it has more benefits … no actually it is more money that is why I am really considering the question.  They actually are promoting me to a better position the only thing I have to do is to stop working Sunday nights at my second job and I am actually going to do it. gosh I hate karma sometimes.

            I guess I started to complain about that place too soon, but you know what I do not regret doing it.  Anyways, yes that is how Karma works, sometimes you are in the deepest place in earth and on the next hour you are on top of the world.  Sometimes or most times we think it is not fair but that is how it goes and there is nothing we can do about it. 

What I would recommend is enjoy every single moment in life because we learn from our bad moments so that we don’t fall too hard again; those ones actually teach us well.  And when you are on top of the world, and every thing is nice and beautiful; you are going to learn not to get too used to it because when you fall from that place it hurts it really hurts.

 So keep learning making mistakes making wrong decisions live la vida loca because thanks to karma we are going to make decisions with good results and sometimes they are not going to be the best ones.  Just don’t regret it because it was your decision and if you have the will work it out. 

hell yea no body is perfect but we can over come bad situations

Drug dealers in Mexico

This is a thought topic to write about I don’t like it because its been growing a lot in the last years.  This started in poor states from Mexico like Michoacan. People who started doing this began doing their business with poor people in poor small towns. It was a very smart way to do because now all those people are willing to give their lives or do anything at trying to bring their drugs to the border of Mexico and United States.  It became a huge problem to work this out because there are small towns that almost everybody is related with drug dealing, because of that it gets complicated for officers to get the leaders because people itself protect those drug dealers leaders. Now almost in every country have problems with drug dealers.  I lived in Monterrey city about three years ago it is the richest city in Mexico, and its also the third biggest city in Mexico. In the time I spend over there all the police leaders got killed by the “zetas” which are the drug dealers from the east side of Mexico.  The zetas took over the city because it was ruled by  “el Cartel del pacifico”  the west side drug dealers.  They killed those officers so that Monterrey would put new officers that had already agreed to work with the zetas.  Monterrey is about 4 hours from Houston TX so it is a good place to have under control for those drug dealing people.  The zetas by doing that made wars with el cartel all over the Mexico.  Now there are people killing each other’s and also killing police officers everywhere.  People getting pick up by guys or getting shot in the middle of the day. It is scary because they are killing lots of people from top to bottom of the country, not just that a lot of those guys are teenagers. It worries me to know that even the government have some kind of connection with all that or why they really not do something to get rid of all those drug dealers that are only causing fear to people. sad just sad.
