Head First!

There are two varied meanings to this post...

I just saw an awesome game between Pacquiao and Marquez -- they were two gladiators trying to outwit each other in boxing held at MGM Arena this morning.  Pacquiao tasted the first knock-down during the third round by what experts called "A punch that I didn't see."  However, as Filipinos were known for its resiliency, Pacquiao gave a tremendous left straight in the next round (is that a straight? I got to see the tape again) to the face of Marquez that connected and boom! the score was about even.  After that round, it was all Pacquiao -- who gave a tremendous beating on Marquez and was leading in all judges score cards.

Then came the sixth round, Pacquaio was again annihilating Marquez throughout the round until the bell rang signalling that there were only 10 seconds left.  As the former was pursuing the latter, Marquez made an out of this word side-step and position himself to throw that well-prepared punch under the guard of Pacquiao.  Sadly, Pacquiao fell HEAD FIRST!

Only if Manny Pacquiao used his HEAD FIRST by not attacking Marquez during the last 3 seconds it would have been a different story.
