Pacquiao at six: Killer Instincts Regained

He says he feels that he's just starting. At 35 years old, and nearly 15 years of boxing, and Manny Pacquiao feels he's stronger and has regained the fighting form he once had when he was 25.

This is good to hear. Pacquiao has been criticized for losing his killer instincts. In his previous fights, Manny is often seen fidgeting and even wtihdrawing his punches whenever he sees his opponent hurt.  In previous entries, I have noted how Pacquiao has lost that animal instinct in him, that's why we see a mellower, and "kinder" boxer.

For that, Pacquiao lost most of his titles. Tomorrow, the former world pound-for-pound boxer will try to regain the glory he once had.

Some say, when Pacquiao transformed himself into a renewed Christian, out came his desire to hurt other people. Credit that to wrongful teaching by some of the Christian "pastors" that preached to him.

Killing someone is not ungodly for as long as God allows you to. Hurting someone when it is God's will is true Christianity, because you are just obeying the will of God.

Biblical heroes such as Saul, and even David slew thousands of people during their lifetimes. They did these without any misgivings because they were doing it "in accordance with God's will."

Previous to them, Joshua and even Moses ordered the slaughter of entire races because it was God who ordered them to. Samson, the mythical super human who, like Jesus, was born thru virgin birth, killed many by just using his bare hands. Again, his killings were all in the name of God.

Every fighter out there survives his every bout because he maintains himself at the level of a killer. For a boxer to avoid being hurt, he must "kill" his opponent in the fastest time possible, meaning he must knock out his opponent even at the first round, so that that person will not be able to hurt him anymore.

When Pacquiao decided to be kind to his opponent, he disobeyed God. God wants him to be His fighter.

By tomorrow, we will see if indeed, Pacquiao has regained most of the fantastic form God gave him in the first place.
