THE PACMAN BOXING REIGN ENDS, according to two judges of the bout
Today, June 10 in the Philippines, Filipinos witnessed the end of the reign of boxing phenomenon Emmanuel "Pacman" Pacquiao. It was a split decision--a letdown to thousands of Filipinos who descended on Las Vegas to see the fight against Timothy Bradley. Yet we saw Bradley running away from the Pacman in several rounds and being hit with power punches several times. Mafia decision because of the gambling money?
But the vaunted power was no longer there--he could have wasted his energy boozing, gambling, womanizing. This defeat is a reminder to all mortals, not to say corrupt politicians, that nothing is permanent in the world.
