Catholic priest Marlon Beof blesses Manny Pacquiao and Freddie Roach during a pre-fight morning Mass. As a spiritual advisor to Pacquiao, Beof would travel to Las Vegas and hold Mass on the morning of many his fights. Manny's wife Jinkee, his mother "Mommy D", friends + guests attend the service at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada on December 6, 2008. Pacquiao would come face to face in the ring later that night and dethrone one of his boyhood boxing idols "The Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya for the fight that was billed as "The Dream Match" on Dec 6, 2008 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. Pacquiao retired De La Hoya on his stool when his corner threw in the towel before the start of the 9th round. Photo by JP YIM.
