The Filipino champ, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao once again proved to the Filipino people and to the world that he's indeed the people champ of the Philippines. Pacman fought a controlled but aggresive fight against Marco Antonio Barrera of Mexico and won handedly by unanimous decision. The judges scored in favor of Manny on average 117-114.
On round 11, Pacman almost brought Barrera to floor. But the Mexican boxer managed to stand. While referee Tony Meeks was breaking the clinch, Barrera struck a strong punch hitting Pacquiao in the head making Manny for a moment to shudder. Barrera was deducted by a point.
At the 12th and final round, Barrera tried to counter the quick attacks of Pacman but still he could not offset Pacman's combinations and speed. This loss of Barerra was considered by him as his last fight when he announced that he is retiring from boxing.
Manny, the filipinos are indeed very proud of you. You have once again joined every filipino in the world! Kudos to you, the People Champ!
