Exams are finally over so I guess it's back to blogging. It was a rough semester for me so I'm just glad it's done....
Now that the year (and technically the decade) is coming to a close, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at my favourite things, music, people, events etc from 2009.
To start things off here's my favourite moment in sports:
Manny Pacquiao defeats Miguel Cotto
I was looking forward to this fight all year and my hero did not disappoint. I was actually nervous before the fight because I was unsure about Pacquiao's ability to absorb Cotto's power, but he showed everyone that he could take a welterweight punch and give one too. The first three to four rounds were great and the two knockdowns were a big surprise. Through this performance, Manny proved that he is simply the best. Can you believe that this win earned him his seventh title in seven different weight classes? Now, he only has to beat Mayweather in 2010 to truly establish himself as a legend in the sport....
Here's some video highlights and post-fight analysis:
Of course there were plenty of other great moments in sports this past year. Here's some honorable mentions:
Bulls vs Celtics Playoff series
The best series in years. Too bad it wasn't the finals.....
USC wins Pac-10 Tourney for the first time and DeRozan is named MVP
I'm sure there were other sports moments that I liked but these are what stood out.
Check back daily for more end of the year favourites.
Til the next episode... Peace
