The duel between the two great boxers Pacquiao and Margarito was really exciting. Although things did not happened as expected by boxing fans that there would be a knockout in the fight, both fighters showed their strengths and will to win the WBC title.
The bout lasted for 12 rounds and Manny Pacquiao brings home his 8th title after winning the WBC superwelterweight title. He makes another history in boxing.
Let us admit the fact that a lot of Filipinos were at first scared that Pacman couldn't win against Margarito who is much taller and with 6 inch longer reach but he proves them wrong when he dominated Margarito all over the 12 rounds of the fight and won with unanimous decision. With his boxing skills and speed, Manny he rocked the Tijuana Tornado. Margarito wanted to pin Manny on the rope but Pacquiao, with his speed, always manages to escape and everytime Pacman did this, he has a suprising combination to counter against Margarito. The fight was so intense that it made Mrs. Dionisia Pacquiao, the mother of Manny suffered from anxiety attack but was now fine. Filipino boxing fanatics cheered everytime Pacman landed his powerful punches on Margarito. Pacquiao admitted that battling against the "Tijuana Tornado" was very hard.
Pacman slowed down after seeing Margarito's condition. Pacquiao even told when interviewed that he was waiting for the referee to stop the fight. Also in a separate interview to Roberto Garcia, the Mexican's trainer, he admitted that he already wanted to throw the towel to stop the fight but believes that his boxer could still make it as he is a tough boxer and a brawler.
Margarito's face became a mess after the bout. His eyes were almost close, blood were on his face from the big cut under the right eye.
Filipinos pride Manny Pacquiao, once again proved that he is indeed the best pound per pound boxer in the world.
Pacquiao only suffered minor bruises and swollen fist after the fight while Margarito had to seek medical attention as his right has right had swollen too bad after receiving powerful punches. The Mexican boxer undergoes an MRI and result shows that he had a fractured orbital bone under his right eye. He would have to go on a surgery but not until the inflammation had subside.
Btw, to all boxing fans there, watch out for the upcoming Marquez-Katsidis fight this November 27. (Juan Manuel Marquez will be fighting against Australian boxer Michael Katsidis).
Congratulations Manny Pacquiao for the victory!! Who would be his next challenger? Would he be finally facing Floyd Mayweather jr. or will he retire?
