I posted a comment on an article that criticized the Filipino reaction to Manny’s loss that read like this:
The author finally writes a good article with good points. I liken the Filipino response to Manny’s loss as a cage full of simians that didn’t get their daily bunch of bananas. There’s lots of howling and screaming, and the brown stuff starts flying. Outside of the cage, from a comfortable distance, the much more advanced genome just point and laugh….”Silly simians!” they say…
The original post had the words “Monkeys” and “Fecal matter”…damn moderation made me change it. But you get my point. Filipinos resorted to name calling, which included gay slurs left and right. In fact, it’s safe to say that Flips represented their true nature more in this moment than at any other time. Flips are crybabies that love to criticize the rest of the world, but can’t take a loss with grace and dignity if their lives depended on it.
Even Manny himself was complaining that he should have won the fight “Because he thought he threw more punches.” This despite the COMPUBOX numbers, which are computerized and VERY accurate. But even that wasn’t enough for him. NOW he comes out with “Oh, hey..wasn’t fighting at my best because of this damn shoulder injury”. You mean the one you said you DIDN’T have right before the fight? One has to wonder…no, skip that…not wonder…KNOW that you’re doing nothing less than making excuses for losing to a superior boxer.
As a response to Manny’s “injury excuse”, Floyd came out in an interview with, to paraphrase, “Manny is full of shit about his injury. He fought just as he always did. His punches were strong and fast. I don’t buy the bullshit, and neither should anyone else.”
What you don’t see are any Flips going back and looking at the fight. Did Manny flinch? Did he wince? I can tell from all of the NON-BIASED news bits around the world that he did not.
But that doesn’t stop the Flip from demanding a rematch that will never happen. According to them, Floyd is a coward for not boxing the way they wanted him to box so Manny could win. They call him a coward for dancing around so much. They call him gay because of the same boxing “hug” that happens in every fight.
