the phenomenal loss

Time and time again, it has been proven that boxing is a game. You win some, you lose some. You will not always be the winner. You also have to lose and accept defeat.

Today, the most celebrated boxing sensation Manny Pacquiao lost his 4th match with Juan Manuel Marquez. Via technical knockout. At 6th round. All I can say is... It was Phenomenal.

Yes, I was stunned when I read the tweets of my friends.. ( I wasn't able to watch the Live Streaming so I settled with Twitter. Man, oh Man.. Boy was I really shocked!

That deadly punch JMM delivered ended the controversial battle between these 2 matadors. The world has gone crazy. A lot of people blame Manny's lack of training due to his political career. Others blame his religion.

What the fcuk people??

Pacquiao won 8 world titles.. Manny had given a lot for his countrymen. He made us all proud not once, not twice, not thrice but 8 times! I really don't care now how much more fights he loses .. For me, he is still the best boxing champ in the world. And after he admitted defeat, all I have is my respect for him.

I am a Filipino.. and I am still proud of Pacquiao!

Mabuhay ka Manny!

And I just want to quote what the famous Bob Ong tweeted: "Keep your head up Pacquiao. I know you gave all your best! You're still our champion!" #FilipinoPride
