Manny Pacquiao, ones again proved his title as the Number One pound for pound King in the world as he defeats his opponent Antonio Margarito. The anticipated match happened last November 13, 2010 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington Texas where Pacquiao ones again walked away with his eight championship medal in eight different categories. Pacquiao won over Margarito in a unanimous decision. The pound for pound King almost knock-out Margarito in the fourth round, but the opponent still managed to stand-up and fight.
The match was a good fight between the two well-known boxers as none of them wanted to loose, they both gave their fans as well as the audience a good and a worthy fight. Margarito was a strong opponent, even though he’s black and blue, he still continued the fight. The match is a battle between huge stature and height advantage for the Mexican boxer, while foot and hand speed for our very own Manny Pacquiao. As a viewer, I observed that Pacquiao has an advantage against his opponent despite their height difference and physique, because Pacquiao moved faster than Margarito and his footwork is much better than Margarito. But I salute Margarito for the wonderful fight with Pacquiao. After the great match, Pacquiao still managed to bring happinnes to the Filipinos and foreigners by performing a concert in Texas, which was also attended by the Mayor of Texas.
The story of Manny Pacquiao is known to many and has become an inspiration to the Filipinos. Pacquiao came from a not well-off family in General Santos. He pursued his boxing career in order to give his mother and his family a decent life. His dream never failed him as he started to gain fame in the world of boxing locally and internationally. His diligent work and frequent practice gave fruits to all his labour. Because of his achievement, numerous Filipinos wanted to follow his footstep.
He is regarded as the Filipino Pride because of the inspiration and achievement he presented to the Philippines. Despite his success, Pacquiao did not forget once his roots, often thanking God for his victory and giving something to his fellow ‘kababayans’ in General Santos. Alongside with his accomplishment as a pound for pound boxer, he is now a congressman, an actor and a businessman. Because of the achievement and pride Pacquiao gave the country, he was given a lifetime achievement award presented by the congress.
