To all Pinoys out there, what's your reaction on the "Mano A Mano" - Pacquiao and Larios boxing last Sunday?

Answer 1

It was a good match. Not very exciting but its good enough. Larios is a very tough boxer and he gained alot of respect. He has a very good personality too. Unlike Erik Morales who has a big stinky mouth.

Answer 2

The Filipinos can do it if we want to. We won the matches because of the people cheering for their boxers. When Pacquiao was beeing battered by Larios, he came to his senses when the Filipinos shouted, "Manny, Manny..." Politics was neglected but after Pacquiao won, the politicians went on with their own agenda again. I hope Filipinos will unite soon.

Answer 3

That fight sucks! It was nothing but another MONEYMAKING scheme for Pacman. And he sure did earn his millions in that doggone promotion. Manny co-promoted that fight so he surely had a hand in picking his opponent and he did choose an opponent who would make him look good. I agree with Ecks T. that while we only have admiration for Pacquiao as an athlete, he has become more of a shrewd businessman and that is bad for the sport of boxing. Imagine, he made a fool of Filipinos who watched his circus from 9 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon. The main event was over at about noon time but his legions of fans who couldn't afford P50,000 ( about US$1000) tickets stayed glued to their TV sets until 4 PM because the promoters stuffed 5 minute-commercial breaks in every round of the scheduled fights. And mind you, all these dommercial breaks feature Pacquiao ads.

Answer 4

One of the best fight, not because Pacman won and LArios lost, but because of the true professionalism the two fighter had exemplified. I am a Filipino, but Larios (win or lost) will be a part of the Filipino hearts, because of the humility that he had shown. We wish both fighters to excel more and be more successful.

Answer 5

It's just a way to show the Filipinos that Manny can beat a tune up fighter even if he lacked the training and time to prepare. The guy definitely had so much time to prepare. It is good to boost the morale of our countrymen but I think they over did the sponsors and media poartners of Pacquiao.

Answer 6

Larios gain my respect. I'm a filipino but I'm starting to find Pacman as an annoying mediawhore. If he will endorse a sanitary napkin commercial i wont be shocked.

Answer 7

kawawa nman si larios.. i mean he trained so hard, i think its safe to say that he really gave everything in that fight only to look like a second rate fighter next to a much more superior pacman. cguro nman aware sya nagmuka lng sya gago for much of the duration of the fight and yet he still has the guts to say thank you. grabe saludo ako dun sa meksikanong yun... i really wish him all the best. now that it is over... excited na ako sa pacquiao vs morales 3... i hope pacman would send morales into retirement! hehehe.. go pacman!

Marie Callender's Chicken Pot Pie

CRUST:
1 1/2 C all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp salt
2 egg yolks
3 TBL ice water
2/3 C cold butter

FILLING:
1 C sliced carrots (3 carrots)
1 C sliced celery (1 stalk)
2 C frozen peas
1 C chopped white onion
4 boneless, skinless breasts (or more if you like a lot of chicken!)
4 TBL butter
5 TBL all-purpose flour
2 1/2 C chicken broth
2/3 C milk
1/2 tsp salt
Dash of pepper
1 egg, beaten

Prepare the crust by sifting together the flour salt in a medium bowl. Make a depression in the center of the flour with your hand. Put the yolks and ice water into the depression. Slice the butter into tablespoon size portions and add it into the flour depression as well. Using a fork, but the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. When all of the flour is moistened, use your hands to finish combining the ingredients. This will ensure that the chunks of butter are well blended into the dough. Roll the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap and put it into the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. This will make the dough much easier to work with!

When the dough has chilled, preheat the oven to 425 degrees, and start on the filling by steaming the vegetables. Steam the carrots and celery for 5 minutes in a steamer or a saucepan with a small amount of water in the bottom. Add the frozen peas and onions and continue to steam for an additional 10 to 12 minutes or until the carrots are tender. Prepare the chicken by poaching the breasts in lightly salted boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes.

In a separate large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, remove from the heat, then add the flour and whisk together until smooth. Add the chicken broth and milk and continue stirring over high heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Cook for an additional minute or two until thick, then reduce the heat to low.

Cut the poached chicken into large bite sized chunks and add them to the sauce. Add the salt and a dash of pepper. Add the steamed vegetables to the sauce and simmer the mixture over medium/low heat for 4 to 5 minutes. As the filling simmers, roll out the dough on a floured surface. Use one of the casserole dishes you plan to bake the pies in as a guide for cutting the dough. The filling will fit four 16-ounce casserole dishes perfectly, but you can use just about any comparable size, as long as they are oven safe.
Invert one of the dishes onto the dough and use a knife to cut around the rim. Make the cut about a half-inch larger all the way around to give the dough a "lip", which you will fold over when you cover the pie. Make four. Spoon the chicken and vegetable filling into each casserole dish adn carefully cover each dish with the cut dough. Fold the edge of the dough over the edge of each dish and press firmly so that the dough sticks to the outer rim. Brush some beaten egg on the dough on each pie. Bake the pies on a cookie sheet for 30 to 45 minutes or until the top crust is light brown.

ENJOY!!!

Answer 9

the fight was not superb.
larios was gracious fighter.
promotion was bad. think of those ugly round girls.
tv coverage sucks---ABS CBN sucks!
pacman is becoming a good showboater/businessman.
boxing--it is all about money.
so guys everything is ok. money talks/shouts.
boxing is like politics.
therefore, pacman is traditional politician.
i think it is about time to knock pacman. to keep his senses back.

Answer 10

The national anthem was sang nicely. We have plenty of celebrities who watched. ABS CBN i think was the biggest winner.
