Manny Pacquiao Believes He Deserved His Victory Against Juan Manuel Marquez
Pound-for-pound boxing king Manny Pacquiao set the record straight on his recently concluded, controversial 12-round fight with Mexican pugilist Juan Manuel Marquez at the MGM Grand Garden Arena by saying he feels he really won the fight.
During a live phone patch interview with Showbiz Central last Sunday, Pacquiao was asked what he initially felt after the twelfth round. “Alam ko talaga na panalo ako pero hindi talaga ‘yung unanimous decision. Alam ko na very close fight but I believe I won the fight,” Pacquiao explained.
Manny won by a majority decision, 114-114, 115-113 and 116-112. However, some boxing enthusiasts who watched the fight felt that Marquez rightfully won the fight.
Pacquiao, however, admitted it was a difficult fight.
“’Yung expectations na gano’n na lang natin talunin si Marquez ay hindi nangyari ‘yon dahil si Marquez ay tanggapin natin na magaling na boksingero at magaling sa counter punch. Dumadating talaga sa ano ‘yan, sa boxing,” he said.
After Pacquiao’s name was announced as winner, the venue roared with boos directed at the Pambansang Kamao, something that has never happened in his fights before.
Pacquiao downplayed it as “kasama sa laro ‘yan.”
“Alam mo, maraming mga Mexicano, maraming mga Pilipino… ang daming mga Mexican. Siyempre, ‘yung mga Pilipino natuwa at ‘yung mga Mexicano masama ang loob nila dahil natalo sila,” he explained.
Describing his controversial fight with Marquez as “okay naman” and “sa awa ng Panginoon maganda ang pakiramdam natin… pasalamat tayo sa Panginoon na nananalo tayo sa fight,” Pacquiao noted.
“Siyempre, ‘yung expectation ng mga tao ay hindi naman palaging one-sided ‘yung panalo natin. Dumarating talaga ‘yung panahon na manalo tayo by first degree.”
The boxing champ said he greeted Marquez after the fight and it turned out quite well.
“Binati ko naman siya sa ring. Okay naman. Maganda naman ang approach ko. Mabait naman ‘yung team niya.”
Asked about the cut he suffered, Pacquiao quipped, “Okay naman, ayos na. Maganda ang pagkatahi. ‘Yun lang naman ang ano natin.”
