kablagh! random thoughts and commentaries on the news
blag!
That’s the sound of Manny Pacquiao’s gloved fist landing on Juan Manuel Marquez’s nose, and probably the last sound the latter heard before he landed on the canvas on the third round, the 4th time in their two bouts.
The last time the two exchanged blows in 2004, Marquez kissed the canvas three times in the first round. Then he rallied to salvage a draw.
This time Pacquiao won by split decision. From the score cards, it sounded like it was also a very close fight, prompting the earstwhile super featherweight champion robbed of his belt by the Filipino prizefighter to declare: “It was a wrong decision. I feel I am stronger than Pacquiao. I am still the champion.”
This blog is for sharing my random thoughts and commentaries on the latest news – good or bad (and in this case it is good news) – such as this one, which makes for an interesting dinner conversation with family and friends. Can’t help it, I always find myself making side comments and quips on how ridiculous some news (or some people in the news) sounded.
Marquez may have received more and heavier blows than what was captured by the judges in the recent fight. He sounded like he’s lost the plot. Pacquiao has knocked him down four times in their two fights and yet he asks for more. He apparently asked for a rematch which, he complained, Pacquiao refused to give him. But later, he had the nerve to say that he is still the champion because he is stronger than Pacquiao and the latter knows it that’s why he refused a rematch. He was floored four times. He was never able to knock Pacquiao down. Now he is claiming he is stronger and that he should have won, saying that he believes he is still the champion.
One must admire him for his belief, but again, doctors should examine him more closely as he may have sustained more damage than what are immediately apparent. If only he can pause for a while and see the bigger picture here: he’s been floored four times in their two matches. He has never knocked Pacquiao down. Who’s the stronger one?
Here’s to sharing with you all my random thoughts and commentaries on the latest news.
