No he didn't. He, more than anyone else, knew he was losing that fight. He was the one eating right hands. He was getting caught with counters rushing in and he was the one hitting thin air. Classy Pacquiao actually turned out to be a sore loser.
Manny is claiming that since he thought he was ahead that he would just cruise for the final two rounds?
1) That does not sound like Manny. He is a great finisher and that seems out of character.
2) The is the highest grossing fight of all times and the fight he has been chasing after for the last 5 years. (allegedly)
3) If what he says is true, that means he is not, "fighting for the fans", as he always claims.
4) I cannot say I am a Pacquiao fan anymore. I respect him for the way he became champ, but lately I do not seen him as the humble respectful person he claims to be.
One of the prefight videos had Arum saying the PED test was ridiculous, for whatever reason. Roach said Manny was scared it would weaken him and Manny just said it was not about the test, but he was unable to make a coherent statement why he didn't take it.
Floyd is an ******, and Manny is just not a truthful person.
This is getting sad, real sad. Manny sounds like someone out of touch with reality. I'm guessing but maybe the Philippino media might be saying the same thing. Maybe if and when he watches tape he'll come around.
I do agree with Manny on one issue: if Floyd had only just stood in the middle of the ring and let Manny punch him at will it would have been a more competitive fight. But Floyd insists on blocking punches with his gloves and moving away from his opponents efforts to hit him in the face. He's weird that way.
