I was expecting an explosive boxing match last Sunday when Filipino world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao went up against former world champion Sugar Shane Mosley in Las Vegas , Nevada . After all, these two are both experienced boxers and have held numerous boxing championship belts. If you were one of the many people who have watched the match, then you should know what I’m talking about. It was not as we have expected, no staggering exchange of punches, no bloody faces. Certainly, Pacquiao had better fights. On the other hand, it was an embarrassing loss for Mosley. And I personally think that he should contemplate quitting boxing.
It was a lopsided win as Pacquiao dominated every round. He tried to chase Mosley who started dodging him after the third round knockdown. Good thing I didn’t pay to watch the fight or else I would be asking for my money back.
The referee even made a bad call on the 10th round when he ruled a knockdown when Mosley attacked Pacquiao and with a push sent the Filipino boxer to the canvass.
Nonetheless, Pacquiao emerged victorious and that is all that matters. He successfully defended his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title with a unanimous decision. He had once again made every Filipinos proud.
