(It's December 8, 2012 in Las Vegas Nevada Marquez KO Pacquiao in 6th Round)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a humiliating defeat. Face first, motionless, knocked out cold. To see our Manny Pacquiao that way, breaks our hearts. Words can not express how i feel for him, our fighting pride is down for almost a minute. The agony spread all over the country, and the death blow meets the mighty.
It's all about Respect
In-spite of loss, Pacman remains the same. I've read alot of blogs and articles about him being mocked and being disrespected. You don't need to be Pacman Fan to give him some respect, he represented boxing with class and humility. I remember last June when Timothy Bradley was declared winner against Pacquiao, although everybody knew Manny won, he (Manny) never said anything disrespectful about his opponent. When is the last time you hear Manny saying bad about his opponents? I am not saying he is perfect, all i am saying is, the man has done nothing wrong to anyone. And even in losing he show some humility.
No Shame in Losing
Even the mighty fall sometimes. There is no exemption to the rules. Manny met his death blow in Marquez's "Perfect Punch". Pacquiao accepted the defeat and thanked God for keeping him safe. If you're fighting one of the best counter punchers in the history of the sport and you over commit, there is no shame in what happened.
Pacquiao - Marquez 5
The score is 2-1-1 in Pacquiao's favor. I believe this fight should happen, it is not because we want Manny to get a knockout revenge, but i believe Manny deserves a rematch. Pacquiao gave Marquez 2 rematches prior to the 4th one. Now it is Marquez's turn to give it back. Win or Lose, Pacquiao will be a legend. And seriously, i don't want to see Manny Pacquiao Retire with this kind of ending on his career. I want him to retire with his head high.
2 important things to learn about Pacquiao - Marquez 4
I notice that Pacquiao's position when he was knocked out. He was face first.
- In Life, sometimes we get knocked out going forward.There is no shame in being knockout when you know in your heart that you have tried your best.
Determination, Patience and Focus to Achieve your goals
- Marquez waited 8 years for this to happen. Whenever Him and Pacquiao Fights, he always take 3 to 4 months training, compare to Manny's 2 months. Marquez's focuses only on one goal, "to beat Manny Pacquiao". And last Dec 8, 2012 his mission was accomplished. I hope we can learn from him.
Pacman Forever
8 Division Champion
4 Division Lineal World Champion
2000-09 Fighter of the Decade
the list can go on...
Thank you for making us proud Pacman!
God bless you!
