Pacquiao amidst controversies of the Pacquiao-Marquez 3

The PACQUIAO-MARQUEZ 3 fever is still hot and getting hotter but I want to dedicate this article to the pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao.

In the recently concluded fight of the world’s 2 great boxers, controversy arises as to who really win the bout. Others said it was Pacquiao while others believed it was Marquez. Legally and officially it was Pacquiao according to the majority decision of the judges. There maybe people who were happy about the result especially the Pacquiao fans and those who placed their bets on him but the Marquez fans for sure were again frustrated with it. We were all entitled to our opinion and points of view but at the end of the day, whatever words had been said the much-awaited fight was won by Pacquiao.

I felt sad for Pacquiao. Yes it was true that his performance as seen by people around the world was not the performance his fans and expectators were expecting, but he said sorry for that. Was that not easy to understand for those people who got disappointed? Pacquiao is still human and had imperfections and shortcomings as such. He may get himself prepared for the fight but anything can happen during the fight. There were issues of failing to have his strength and conditioning exercise, foot cramps, personal issues, political parties, mafia, lifestyle, etc. Can we just help Pacquiao make realize his shortcomings as a boxer in a way he will understand it and uplift his morale. His performance may not be exemplary as compared to his previous fights but he gave what he can during the fight and he did not cheat to win. Grabbing the crown from the depending king is not easy. Marquez performance during the bout maybe considered up compared to Pacquiao but he failed to give and do more to ensure his winning.

Pacquiao was declared as the winner and retained his title. As a Filipino, we have to be proud of and celebrate amidst issues. We just not celebrate his winning because there is a knock-down or blood sprout from his opponent. The bout was a close fight and Pacquiao won, that’s I think the clear issue. But as to whether Pacquiao performed the way he performed on his previous fights is a different and separate issue.

If there is any good we can do for the pound-for-pound king is to pray for him that whatever happens in the recent bout will teach him a lesson and make him the best and wiser boxer.

Congratulations again Manny!!!

Pacquiao wins over Marquez with majority decision

Was the recently concluded PACQUIAO-MARQUEZ 3 bout victimized Juan Manuel Marquez of another robbery of what he claimed victory over Manny Pacquiao?

There is no doubt that the PACQUIAO-MARQUEZ 3 bout has been watched by people across the globe from beginning to end. Although Marquez fought a good fight, in every boxing bout the judges’ decisions are always final. Manny was declared as the winner but amidst again the controversy I believed Coach Freddie Roach was right in saying Marquez deserves another fight. Manny’s camp claimed he had foot cramps during the fight that started in the 4th round and continued till the end of the fight. As I watched the bout, I guess that explains the incidents where Manny was caught flatfooted and really affected his performance. On the other hand, CompuBox program that counts and categorizes punches in boxing matches issued official fight statistics showing that Pacquiao threw and landed more punches against Marquez.

Why another 4th installment? The 4th one will be the most exciting match to watch and will give burning pressure to the 2 fighters to push themselves to the limit for a knock-down. To Marquez, too early to quit and Pacquiao, you made Filipinos proud again. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Tomorrow is the much-awaited Pacquiao-Marquez third bout. Who will win the fight? Pacquiao needs to win the fight to put an end as what Marquez and his camp are claiming that they both win the 1st and 2nd bouts. It will be an exciting fight because both boxers need to prove who is who amidst controversies.

On the other issue, Las Vegas must be thankful to Manny Pacquiao for helping them lift their economy on his every fight in Vegas. People are jam-packed to watch the fight of Manny Pacquiao because he gives his all as a fighter, not only for his family and fans but for his country.

Congratulations in advance Manny!!!

Mayweather Sr. on Pacquiao: A little Filipino midget

This Floyd Mayweather Sr. is really getting into my nerves. He is like a very talkative parrot that keeps on talking and talking and as if people believe in what he is saying. If you think your son is the best then make the “dream fight” happens without so many requests or press conferences. From there people will know “Who is Who?” This Mayweather Sr. even called Manny Pacquiao a “little Filipino midget” and “one of the biggest faggots on the planet.”

Pacquiao a 'little Filipino midget' – Mayweather Sr.
