IT was a great experience watching the Manny Pacquiao-Jorge Solis fight via Smart 3G and doing the INQUIRER.net Running Account of this bout (this is my first sports Running Account, as opposed to the Estrada impeachment trial, People Power 2 and other political Running Accounts I did before).
Manny kayoed his Mexican opponent, and server traffic actually also kayoed our Running Account, heh — it was erratic, so the account was unavailable to some readers if they were accessing the servers that went down – though our homepage is still standing and we’ve broken Pacquiao’s 8th round knockout victory as our headline.
I have to admit I’m impressed with how well the Smart 3G feed held up — we were all keeping our fingers crossed. The biggest scare we got was when the feed got disconnected as Pacquiao and Solis were being introduced, but fortunately I was able to reconnect after a few minutes.
By the way, “congressman” chants from Pacquiao supporters broke out after his postfight interview. Hmm…

manny has sincerity and very strong commitment if he will win this May…
meron ba ang nyan ang ibang politiko?…
…kung kayo c pacman, itataya nyo ba ang iyong karangalan na hinahangaan sa buong mundo upang gumawa ng mga anomaliya sa gobyerno? o hahayaan mo bang sabihan ka ng buong mundo na wala kang nagawa sa kongreso?…I’m sure pinag-isipan na yan ni pacman.
