In the last 6 moths, we saw Pacman in a different state. He is singing and praising God. We have always seen him going to church and attending masses especially before and after his fights. But Pacman himself revealed that in the past months he turned his back on his ugly ways. He no longer gambles, drinks, or womanizes. He looks so much at peace now and closer to God.
What can I say about his defeat now? It's the "baptism of fire". He may have been in the ring for the longest time already, but this is his first time fighting in the ring as a true soldier of the Almighty. Every soldier has to undergo baptize de feu. How he faces this stunning defeat is the real test of his heart.
No matter what the outcome has been, Filipinos still adore and love the world's only holder of 8 titles in 8 weight divisions in boxing. One snatched belt is something. But hey, he still has 7 belts. LOL. He can always get it back, right? Who can say what's in store for Pacman?
Here's our fireworks. We still celebrate your "more important" personal victory!
UPDATE: RIP BOXING
An overwhelming outcry in TWITTER is happening. The trending topics are #RIPBoxing and #MannyPacquiaoStillTheWorldsBestBoxer. Top international celebrities are one in saying that the fight should have been won by Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao. Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus, Bruno Mars, Jeremy Lin, and more, are all united and that they "know who really won"! Even the blow-by-blow accounts of on-line web sites has given to Pacquiao most of the rounds. The whole world is flabbergasted on the result. A rematch in November is definitely in the offing...
