Ring Magazine, regarded as the “Bible” of boxing, awarded Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao the coveted super featherweight championship belt but claimed Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez won the fight at the Mandalay Bay Resort Hotel & Casino last Sunday, Manila Time.
WBC backs Pacquiao-Marquez III!
WBC President Jose Sulaiman said today that the WBC would have no objections to a third fight between WBC super featherweight champion Manny Pacquiao and former champ Juan Manuel Marquez. Sulaiman stated that Marquez would be rated #1 in the 130lb division, but acknowledged that Pacman is in an optional defense period, freeing him to take a fight with WBC lightweight champ David Diaz. Sulaiman also criticized the "arbitrariness and arrogance of the Nevada Athletic Commission" for replacing a WBC judge (Dick Flaherty, who is friends with Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach's mother) with WBO judge Tom Miller
In the eyes of Filipinos rooting for their countryman Pacquiao won but in the eyes of those who knew boxing,Marquez is the champion.
