Pacquiao a Sore Loser?

[Bears Grill]

---

I don't know about you, but I thought Pacquiao threw a monkey wrench to the myth about his humility and professionalism with the list of excuses that he usually comes up when he loses a fight.

In the few days leading up to the fight, Pacquiao was saying "his killer instinct is back" and "he's 100% confident and ready" and even said to his fans "Relax, don't worry. We're going to win." Now, after he clearly lost a near wipeout of a fight, first, he said "I thought I won the fight. I hit him with a lot of punches. Floyd was running the whole night."

I think it was only during the post-fight presscon that he started his excuse-making machine: "Oh, I injured my shoulders. It's hard to fight one-handed." And then he contradicted himself with "Actually, I injured my shoulder during training and the commission denied him permission to get injected with painkillers. I got better as the days went on but I lost a lot of ground in training." It's not the exact quote but it gets to the gist of it. He's very creative with the excuses, like when he lost to Morales and blamed it on his gloves, his socks, and getting blood tested on fight night. The painkiller thing is rather curious. What sort of injection did he really want to have that wasn't permitted? Hmmm.....

Come on, Manny. Give your opponent his due respect. He beat you fair and square. It's a shame now that the "sore loser" tag is now circulating on the internet because of this.

dili man cguro "sore loser" si manny.
if the injury was true, MP already said it was not an excused.
he fought well bsag naay sakit, fight went on.

OT: what can you say about ani nga picture?

Mr Grill., libog lang ta nimo bai. Unsa man ka filipino or itom.

I'm just disappointed at how Manny responded to this defeat. I'd rather have him credit his opponent for his win than spew all these excuses. Die-hard fans are even scraping the bottom of the barrel with this "cheating conspiracy", as shown by a poster here of the scorecards that had Manny winning. Give me a break.

I'm Filipino and I too rooted for Pacquiao, but what I saw was an opponent that was too slick and crafty for Pacquiao. I too was disheartened by the loss, but what transpired after the fight was a different disappointment which painted a bad picture of Pacquiao. No matter how much we hate Floyd, we have to admit graciously that he clearly won that fight and move on.

If you read the label carefully, their names are indicated above the colored boxes. Just a matter of writing the "R" and "B" incorrectly.

anha na mogawas ang istorya kung pilde na...

pero nindot ang away nga iyang gipakita...nia ang boxing dili man padaghanai sa kumo nga gibuhian...
kundi sa kumo man kuno nga ni landing...

"Following 12 rounds of action, the undefeated American was awarded a clear unanimous decision victory for his effort. The final stats revealed that Pacquiao landed a total of 81 punches out of 429 thrown, while Mayweather landed 148 of 436. Overall, Mayweather connected at 34% while Pacquiao struck a significantly lower 19%."

sa una ang medyas ang gipasanginlan
sunod kay overconfidence ang hinungdan
karon shoulder injury na pud gipahimungtan
nganong naa man jud apan iyang kapildihan?

dawaton na lang jud niya ang kamatooran
nga dili tanang panahon siya bulahan
daghan na bitaw siya'g bahandin nga gikuptan
ug ang Ginoo pirmi siyang gikuyugan

Tom O: "It's just sad that people are putting more credit to Floyd's jabs and pot shots than Manny's blows.."

Mura naman ug olympic ang scoring sa professional.. kung mao na, pwede na guro dili mag 10-8 ang knockdown.. because that same punch pwede mabawe sa kontra by just using a jab.. lolz..

but a loss is a loss..

Manny: "lits rispik da disisyon.."
