I would like to share my
opinion on Manny Pacquiao's fight against Jeff Horn, on Pacman's career, and on people's reaction to it.
First, maybe Pacquiao was
robbed. People were surprised and stats don't lie. Maybe he really should have
won the match, but honestly, I'm having doubts on whether he could still win his
fights at this point in his boxing career. He has too much on his plate now. He's on PBA, he's part of the Philippine Senate, he
has an acting career, etc. And the country needs a senator who is dedicated on
being a senator. I'm one of those people who doesn't fully trust him that he'll
be able to fulfill his job as a senator. I'm doubting his capabilities although
there are times that agree with him in some cases. But since he's already on
the senate, I hope he retires on his boxing, basketball, and showbiz careers and
focuses on being a politician. Or he could just give up his spot in the senate and focuses on
his other career, but hopefully, whoever will replace him deserves the spot and
will serve the country and its people properly and honestly.
Since
he has a lot on his plate, he wouldn't be able to focus on his training. And he
probably has limited time to train which could still be in conflict with his
senatorial duties, unlike most of his challengers, young and probably
constantly training. Plus his health might be an issue, I mean he isn't getting
any younger.
I
still support him though. Yes, I wish he retires and focus on his duties but if
he will have a boxing fight, I will support and will want him to win. Why? Because he
still has the Filipino Flag on his back. He still represents the country. Sure,
maybe he's just fighting for money, or for some personal interest, but he's
also fighting as a Filipino. He has been representing the country in his fights
all these years, this is why it's sad and disappointing that some fellow
Filipinos rejoiced because he didn't win. Some Filipinos didn't want him to
win. He represents the Philippines every time he steps inside the ring, and
Filipinos didn't want their country to win. They stopped supporting the
country, because they have different political views with their fighter. Sure,
his fights aren't as hyped or as grand unlike how they were years ago, and to
be honest, I am not as interested to his fights as I used to be, but I want
someone who waves the flag of my country to come out victorious.
Well,
I think he should have won. Stats don't lie. And I hope Pacquiao retires and focus
on his duties as a senator. That's my take on this issue.
