"Boxing is not for killing each other"

pacman when ask by mario lopez during the post fight interview on why he looked to the referee and ask to stop the fight.

class act. :good

 

Quite classy especially considering all the noise Margo was making pre-fight. He also said he stopped trying for the knockout because of Margarito's condition.

 

“I told the referee look at his eyes, look at his cuts,” Pacquiao said. “I did not want to damage him permanently. That’s not what boxing is about.” -Pacquiao

Congratulations pacman!
oh ****! I just lost an avy bet..

 

yeah agree...sportsmanship from PAcman...he could easily K.Oed margo in 10-11 or 12 ...how they say iin mexico...una bofedata de guante blanco...

 

That was a pretty good glimpse into part of who he is as a person, I think.

 

Manny definitely showed some mercy.

 

Yeah, I could tell he was taking it easy in the last couple of rounds. That was classy of him.

 

Yeah, I thought it was an appeal to compassion as well. Manny let that man finish the fight...

 

This.

I also think it was a pretty good glimpse into how much of a mean ****er Margarito is that he didn't want the fight stopped, that the referee and doctor didn't want to just end it, and at how he put as much effort into guessing how many fingers both men where holding up as is possible. To be honest I'm buzzing as **** after watch Haye-Harrison, having a few drinks, then watching Margarito-Pacquiao. Soto-Karass got robbed by the way.

 

manny has gone soft... i think a pre-congressman pacman would have gone for the KO, or maybe not.

 

jones could have won that fight easy if he didn't punched himself out.

 

I respct Manny for his compassion, but it's not up to him, that's the ref's job, and I would be much, much richer if he had just KO'd Margo in the 10th.
