Pacland's Philippine Boxing Forum

Manny's reaction was atypical of most fighters. he knew he won, everyone knew he won, but when he was declared loser, he accepted it quickly enough.

I was outraged as well but i quickly accepted the outcome in like 30 seconds after the announcement. I just thought the story was a lot better if he had lost than if he had won.

I am not implying that the fight was scripted. I am just saying that his loss caused a whole lot more buzz than if he had won.

Think about it. Now the road to mayweather is even clearer, because floyd might get to thinking "oh now's my chance, manny has slowed down". Uncharacteristically, he even said he thought Manny had won. Good signal.

In the End, I think Manny knew that winning does not always mean you have to Win every fight. Sometimes, you take a step back to take two steps forward.

If I were Manny, I would feel relieved. Losing one fight takes a monkey off his back. Now he can do what he should do....er...whatever it is he should do ... or does. Whatever. His loss does not detract his greatness and only serves as fuel for his mythology. Acceptance in this case was easy.

Manny's reaction was very professional... he just bowed down his head when he hears the decision... and he slightly moved his head sideways..then he climb up the ropes and though you can see it in his eyes that he is sad, he still greeted/waved at the people.

If I were in Manny's shoes, I would tell Bradley: "Do you honestly think you won the fight?"

If I were in Bradley's shoes, I would return the belt and say "I dont deserve this... I still got some honors and dignity"

But Bradleyis no saint. It is still money over credibility and dignity.

Yes, I know.

Ma-o bitaw.

Isang piraso lang po talaga.

kaliwa o kanan?

Unisex daw po yon. Puede kaliwa o kanan.

If I lose in that manner, I will just quit boxing altogether.

There is nothing else to prove and I already have more than enough money to sustain me and my family even for several lifetimes.

Good analysis. But still many believed that the punch was not that strong enough to knock him out.

Yes. It must be him.
