When fellows of good spirit gather round to discuss the merits of boxing today, one issue is never in doubt. 'We need more good fighters that fight." Manny Pacquiao should be the poster boy for "good fighters". He is one of the few that though he holds no "official title" is the creme' de la creme'. He holds no official title because a Frog judge (aka "Surrender Monkey") saw his fight with Juan Manuel Marquez (42-2) as 110-115 for the Mexican. That score is even more outrageous when Pacquaio scored three knockdowns in the first round. Three knockdowns dictates a 10-6 round for the winner. Monsieur Jutras then gave 9 of the next 11 to Marquez? Horsediddle! That's not the only bad luck that's dogged The Pac Man. As mentioned his promoter, Murad Muhammad, is an empty pinch back suit with a bow tie and a hatred of "white devils", has done nothing to do what he's suppose to do. Get fights for Pacquiao. After a month of training in California The Pac Man has returned to the Philippines. He's also terminated his promotional deal with Murad. "This is my decision. He's made more money from my previous fights. That's why I will now terminate my contract with him." Next up for now free agent Pacquiao is Aussie Gary St. Clair (35-3). St. Clair's three losses came at the hands of world-class fighters Diego Corralas, Vivian Harris and Leonard Dorin. Add to the mix that he's never been KO'd and you have the makings of one hell of a November treat. I'll drink to that.
