Everything I wrote are based from different articles concerning about Pacquiao which I just copy on some of their lines. If you want to find them, go google and search the archieve of Pacland. This content is protected From a brutal trilogy against Morales to a fun beer commercial together, To a one sided fight until to the lifting of the hand of the fallen Diaz, and to the respect at the ring to the Goldenboy of the boxing world. These are the traits of one fighter, who has a power,speed and aggressiveness of a thousands beast to a heart of a thousands of tame horse. He is called none other by Pacquiao, a man risen at a strict poverty from the Philippines to a nation's hero. The bout at Dec.6 which was dubbed as the "Dream Match", showed the humbleness and kindness of Pacquiao once again. From the one sided showdown between him and the Goldenboy proved that Pacquiao is not only the pound for pound best, but also deserves to be called the heart of boxing. It was after the 8th bell rang, Oscar was already worn out from the onslaught of Pacquiao and wasn't even able to fireback from Pacquiao's lethal combinations. Freddie Roach ordered Pacquiao to do the unthinkable, to knock out oscar. Roach words was "It's your job to finish him(this coming round)". But Manny's glare was different, he likely wants to show compassion and save Oscar from a humiliating defeat. Before the 8th round rang, It was all Manny. He made Oscar look old, slow and shot. At the 7th round Oscar was on the ropes clinging for the round to end, It was the time I think to myself..."Can Manny really knockout Oscar?", At the end of 8th round, Oscar was lost and couldn't redeem himself anymore. But there is something I noticed about Pacquiao, whatever onslaught he gave to Oscar he stops. If that was anyone but Oscar, Manny would finish him by now. He might have carried the fight and prevent Oscar from the suffering his taking and from meeting the canvass. In a recent interview Manny said that, "There is no point to put more pressure, I know I got him, I don't want anything to happen to him, because whatever happens he is still my idol". The huge question is why? Oscar wants to disrespect you from all his interviews at HBO 24/7. Oscar gave you a signed glove and telling that "I will knock you out". But for Manny,"It's my job as a fighter, It's nothing personal for me." This is what he do, This is what he gives to his fans. In the end, Oscar gave up on his stool, Audience went loud, the pride of the Philippines rose once again. In the end Pacquiao comforted Oscar, Manny words was "Whatever happens, you are still my idol." But Oscar cameback with something, "No, Now your my idol." It's rare to see compassion from both fighters. After months of trash talks, months of suffering from both camps after all the fuel burned. Sometimes it always end up as respecting each other on both sides. As we can say, he may be not as technically great like Floyd Mayweather, He may not attain the counter punching skills of Juan Marquez, He may never get the power of Mike Tyson. But he has defied all logic odds, rose from the lowest to the highest attaining rank of the sport, He deserves to be called as a "pound for pound king" who possess a Golden Heart.
I hope there's a young lion in the waits to become America's Pacman...hitting the bag...shadowboxing...hitting the mitts... Manny has brought much inspiration not only to his country, but to the boxing world in general... This man will hang high above many others because of his nobility... I wish him the best and hope to see him shine through all of his boxing endeavors :good
i can't understand why some people (few but loud) are still hating on this guy. he is the complete package. a beast in the ring and a humble guy outside of it. of course there would be fans that goes overboard as usual with any fighter out there but some are hating on these guy just because of these ******ED reasons. good read janjalani, but did pac really intended not to stop oscar? can you provide the link of the interview where he said that he doesn't want anything to happen to him. cheers! :good
