a brilliant upper cut.

And, if there was doubt coming in

as to whether Pacquiao could

affect De La Hoya

with his punching power,

there shouldn't be

any doubt any more.

It's Pacquiao's quickness

dominating the slower De La Hoya

Now, you make it hard to find you.

And he's taking chances,

he's starting to make mistakes.

He can't handle your speed, son.

COMMENTATOR 1 :
What is the feeling

of a fighter

when he's in there with somebody

who's always beating him to the punch.

This is getting embarrassing.

COMMENTATOR 2:
Manny Pacquiao

looks largely untouched.

And, he's gradually reconfiguring

De La Hoya's beautiful face.

COMMENTATOR 1 :
This fight's going

to probably end up being stopped.

COMMENTATOR 2:
Manny Pacquiao

is annihilating Oscar De La Hoya.

Pacquiao is making De La Hoya look

old slow and ineffectual.

Brody has a tough decision

in front of him.

Listen, if you keep taking punches,

l'm stopping the fight, okay?

COMMENTATOR 1 :
This could be

the end of the fight.

That's it. lt's all over.

[BOXlNG BELL RlNGlNG]

COMMENTATOR 2:
Manny Pacquiao

has beaten Oscar De La Hoya.

LARRY:
Certainly, the furthest thing

from anybody's mind,

was that he was going to dominate

and stop Oscar De La Hoya

and end his career.

And, in effect, it was the beginning

of a whole new career,

for Pacquiao.

ANNOUNCER:
Pacquiao!

CHINO:
The millions of people from

Metro Manila, from all walks of life,

coming up, wanting a piece of him.

Maybe catching him on TV,

just to see his motorcade pass by.

That was one great proud moment

for this country.

[FACE YOUR DESTINY PLAYlNG]

You have to understand

Manny Pacquiao's mentality.

Manny Pacquiao believes

that he is where he is

because of God.

That what he's done is God's will.

MAN:
Show time. Show time.

FREDDlE:
"Manny, who's going

to win the fight?"

He says, "I think I will."

"You'll knock him out?"

"Well, that's up to God."

ANNOUNCER:
The best fighter

in the world.

FREDDlE:
He says God will decide.

I say the guy who's best

prepared will win.

So, l know l have both.

[CROWD CHEERlNG]

COMMENTATOR:
And down he goes.

He's down for the second time.

Oh, my gosh.

What an amazing knock out.

That is the most spectacular

"one punch"

of Manny Pacquiao's

incredible career.

My favorite part, for me about Manny,

is when he's coming into the ring.

He doesn't look focused and he just

comes out with this big smile.

And he's just waving at everybody

and it's like...

He doesn't look like a man

who fears he's going to lose.

It's almost as if you feel

the light of God behind him.

And he knows that God

is following him into the ring.

You'd never know, ever,

that he's going to fight.

And that's his energy,

that's not a made up persona.

And then he can flip the switch.

COMMENTATOR:
Round one begins.

Pacquiao hits with a hard left hand.

And another.

Manny landed another right hook.

And it's Cotto with his back

against the rope.

And he punches Cotto,

and he goes down.

...totally hurt by that knockdown.

You can sense the right punch

at the right time.

Cotto backs into the corner.

He's in big trouble now.

The fight could end

in a matter of seconds.

We thought Manny Pacquiao is great.

He's better than we thought.

MANNY:
For now, we're going to enjoy

our very good victory tonight.

And, you know, I always thank God

for the fans who always support us.

And to all the people who

come here tonight.

To all the boxing fans

around the globe,

Thank you very much

for all your support.

Are we going to see

a Wapakman 2 coming out?

Wapakman, don't miss it.

lt's going to be a good movie.

[GRUNTlNG]

He played a superhero,

I believe it was horrible.

We gotta talk to him.

Maybe do some stuff that is

worthy of him.

We hope we get to do

a movie together.

A nice action movie

that takes place, probably

in the Phillipines and

the United States,

kind of a big action adventure.

ldel!

[SPEAKlNG FlLlPlNO]

ldel! Surrender now!

ldel!

[SCREAMlNG]

ldel!

[SPEAKlNG FlLlPlNO]

Millions of hits.

His name is Manny Pacquiao,

and he is generating excitment

not seen in the ring since Mike Tyson,

Sugar Ray Leonard, or Muhammad Ali.

BERT:
Manny Pacquiao has that glow,

that superstar charm.

And he's as close to, as l can see,

a worldwide figure

like a Muhammad Ali was.

Both of them were superstars

who knew how to handle it,

and represented something.

Of course, when you're famous,

many want a picture or autograph

but that's how it is.

Because when you have fans it's also

important that you are nice to them.

Of course we also know that

they are also instrumental.

Of course it's hard but...

l'm able to manage.

Manny! Manny!

[ALL CHEERlNG]

ANNOUNCER:
Team Pacquiao!

MARK:
I follow Manny Pacquiao

around the Philippines

and it's like following Elvis Presley

and JFK

combined into one person.

[UPBEAT SONG PLAYlNG]

JlMMY:
As l started hearing

about his singing

and seeing little videos

on the internet,

we thought it'd be fun

to have him on the show.

We thought it would be fun

to have him sing,

while he was on the show,

and we were very right.

Here now, with their rendition

of the John Lennon classic,

Will Farrell and Manny Pacquiao.

Imagine there's no country

[CROWD CHEERlNG]

It isn't hard to do

No, it isn't, Manny Pacquiao.

Imagine all the people

JIMMY:
Even though he doesn't have

what you would call

a "classical voice,"

he likes to sing.

And either he thinks

he's a great singer,

or everyone's too scared tell him that

he's not the world's greatest singer.

But, he loves to sing

and it's fun to hear him sing,

so in a way, he is a great singer.

And the world will be as one

[CROWD CHEERlNG]

Thanks, guys!

Will Farrell and Manny Pacquiao.

We'll be right back.

JlMMY:
Yeah, Manny loves

these songs from

the 70's and 80's, these love ballads.

lt just seems so odd coming out

of a guy

who could punch you in the face

forty times while he was blinking.

And l think in a way,

that makes him scarier.

You might wanna try:

[SlNGlNG] Sometimes when we touch

The honesty's too much

-Just hold the "much", instead of...

-Too much...

JlMMY:
The fact that this is what

he listens to,

and he has got this tender side,

to me, if I was getting in the ring

with him,

that would make me doubly terrified.

Too much

All right, you can do that, that's

fine, but you can also go,

The honesty's too much

Beautiful.

I wanna hold you till I die

Till we both break down and cry

And cry

Till we both break down and cry

So "cry" is the same as "much".

Till we both break down and cry

I wanna hold you

Till the fear in me subsides

Beautiful. That's fantastic.

I wanna hold you till I die

Till we both break down and cry

Okay, l'd like to just, yeah,

Just one another thing too,

l'd like to have,

just as a choice...

I wanna hold you till I die

Till we both break down and cry

I wanna hold you

Till the fear in me

Subsides
