Today the whole Filipino nation is celebrating the victory of Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao over "Tijuana Tornado", Antonio Margarito. PacMan succeeded to claim the vacant WBC Super Welterweight title with a 150-pound catchweight. The tale of the tape may have shown that Margarito's reach and height is at his advantage but Manny's dedication, superior speed and skill still prevailed. Pacquiao dominates the "Tijuana Tornado" almost all 12 rounds during their bout. He landed a total of 474 punches against Margarito’s 229. But even though Pacquiao dominated the fight, he had a hard time putting Margarito down.
“I did my best,” Pacquiao said. “He’s strong. He’s a very tough fighter. I can’t believe [he took those punches].” – Yahoo! Sports
Filipino pride made us proud again. Congratulations Manny Paquiao! Indeed, "YOU" are the only "Pound for Pound King" Do you agree, Mayweather? If not, step up if you still have your balls to fight. lol.
