..'flies like a butterfly, stings like a bee'..

When I was young, I really adored Muhammad Ali. Yea, that's him..'flies like a butterfly, stings like a bee'. He poses a real fighter to me. He has got looks and 'mouth' too. If you ask me the reason for liking him, I guess it's the way he sets the strategy in a fight. Let your opponent beat you up first, that way, you will easily tire him. Then, at the right moment, as you calculated earlier with your coach, deliver him the ultimate punch. It will sting him to the ground, defeated.

Well, from the above the climax is easily seen. The suspense and thrills keep you jittery, as Muhammad Ali just looked like he could loose the fight.

It seems like we are watching a boxing match these days. We certainly know from the 2 fighters, who is the favourite and who is the underdog. Or do we really know? It could be the other way around..just teasing!

But either way, I think the one who poses like Muhammad Ali will definitely win this fight. He has the 'mouth' remember? Or is it the other way around since he is the one who is doing more punching which could tire him early. It is difficult to say isn't it?

Each fighter however, has been delivered with at least one good blow each. Yet, there was no clear indication of any one of them buckling their feet. It's like they took the blows well. Those good punches were not the climax the way it seems now.

That worries me though. What sort of an explosive climax can we expect out of this fight? The whole country came to a stand still watching the fight. As if, it's the whole business of ours since March of this year. And let me remind you, that the whole world is watching too.

One thing for sure, the climax would bring about plenty of risks. These risks are going to affect all of us one way or another. It would be good if we visit the gainers of this entire episode. Just who is the promoter of this fight? Would you think he would a local or an outsider?In the end, the promoter would surely want to have his part of the deal. My fear is, it is going to be avery expensive one.
