The most awaited boxing fight of this year: Manny Pacquiao VS Antonio Margarito. Margarito is taller by Pacman therefore has a longer reach but it did not stop Pacman. Pacman used his speed during the fight. Margarito was like a punchbag though sometimes he would corner Pacquiao at the last ten seconds of every round. During round 5, Margarito was already bleeding due to the cut in his right eye. Margarito fought well even with all the wounds on his face, he did not give up. I was actually waiting for Margarito to get knocked out because you can clearly see how exhausted he was already. Pacquiao on the other hand just kept on moving and punching Margarito.
The first seven rounds were won by Pacquiao as stated in the scorecards but Margarito gave his best during the next two rounds but of course those two points did not affect Pacman's standing.
The fight lasted until the last round and obviously Pacquiao won by unanimous decision. Even with his blood shut eyes, and purple face, I salute Margarito. Even though it's very clear that he cannot beat Pacquiao during the first half of the battle, he still fought and did not give up. With his right eye bleeding and purplish and his left eye red and almost closed he still stood and fought.
This type of sport can either boost your career or make you lose it while risking your life that is why I salute all those boxers who take the risk like Margarito and Pacquiao. For sure all Filipinos are celebrating now or still watching the delayed telecast of the fight. I will be expecting voices of screaming people later. LOL!
