The judges saw it otherwise.

In the power punches department, Manny Pacquiao landed 123 of his 380, and Jeff Horn connecting on only 73 of his 428 power punches.

But the judges saw it otherwise.

Based on numbers that were shown him after the fight, Manny Pacquiao felt he was robbed the way he’d been robbed before.


“We won the fight,” said Pacquiao hours after he lost his WBO welterweight title yesterday to undefeated Australian Jeff Horn.

Pacquiao had the numbers and the tape of the fight to back up his claim.

“It’s clear naman, kahit (even if) i-review mo ang fight,” he said after taking the damaging loss before 51,052 fans at the Suncorp Stadium.

At 38 and at the final bend of his career, Pacquiao can’t afford to take another loss.

He has lost four times in his nine fights the last five years, and losing the “Battle of Brisbane” is not going to help him draw the fights he wants as the sun goes down.

On top of the ring, in the middle of the packed stadium, Pacquiao took the loss in stride, saying there’s nothing else to do but accept defeat.

“It’s okay. It’s part of the game,” he said as his fans cheered.

“That’s the decision of the judges. I respect that,” added the humble senator.

But Compubox numbers were all over the Internet after the bloody welterweight contest, saying that Pacquiao threw less but landed more punches.

In the power punches department, Pacquiao landed 123 of his 380, and Horn connecting on only 73 of his 428 power punches.

Pacquiao also had the better and more accurate jab, going 59-of-193 compared to the Australian who landed only 19 jabs out of 197 thrown.

The total punch stats showed that Pacquiao was the better puncher, who lost a unanimous decision.

Teddy Atlas, the great trainer, was among the many who felt Pacquiao was robbed.

“They gave a win, a huge win, to the local kid for trying hard. You’re not supposed to get it for trying hard. You’re supposed to get it for winning and I thought Pacquiao won the fight if you go by the real rules of who lands the cleaner punches,” said Atlas, one of the ring commentators.

A report by news.com.au was plated on the Internet telling how Atlas, who trained Tim Bradley for this third fight with Pacquiao, approached Horn after the fight.

“Congratulations, (you’re) a great athlete. I thought you lost, but great effort. Did you feel, after that ninth round when you heard the referee saying ‘I’m going to stop this fight if you don’t do something’, that you were winning that fight?” said Atlas.

In 36 minutes, Pacquiao threw a total of 573 punches and landed 182.

Horn, on the other hand, threw a grand total of 625 punches and landed only 92.

I finally decided to vote for Pacquiao

It has been a while before I finally decided to vote for Pacquiao. At first, I was really thinking if we needed him when he can’t even attend the seat in the congress. He is not a legislator nor a public servant on the basis of his profession. He is far from what a political leader should be.

However, after his remarks against LGBT that drew bashing and a campaign against him specifically led by LGBT personalities like Vice Ganda and other celebs who are pro LGBT, I have seen the clear red line between standing in the world and standing within the “sound” Christian doctrine and dignity that upholds morality in its highest sense, I decided finally to vote for Manny Pacquiao.

First, I have seen someone who is not a politician, and is far from a foolitician. He is not there to please the ears of his potential voters but to tell them and guide them to what is right. It’s not money or vote, it’s about pleasing God. We rarely see these among the candidates, and Manny is one of those rare candidates.

Manny’s remark is his opinion about the homosexual lifestyle. Everybody has to respect that. Even Vice Ganda. It’s not bigotry as most LGBT claims.

LGBT call those who do not believe in them as bigot. This is how “LGBT” addresses the people which is definitely “discrimination”, disrespectful in the opinion of others, and how they try to “unbalance” the law of the land by making proposals that will “ONLY” benefit them.

We need a Manny who stands by the truth and uprightness no matter how LGBT call him, bash him, and persecute him. We as Christians however need to learn how to stand by him.

Proverbs 16:12

It is an abomination for kings to commit wicked acts, For a throne is established on righteousness.

Proverbs 29:2

When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, But when a wicked man rules, people groan.

Secondly, who among the senatoriables fear God more than Manny? I always believe that if you want to have a better nation, we need to have godly leaders, leaders who fear God above all. Leaders who follow God’s will. How many more fooliticians should we vote?

We do not need another foolitician in place. We need to have politicians who are not a lover of money, not morally degraded, and a man who fears God.

Proverbs 11:14

Where there is no guidance the people fall, But in abundance of counselors there is victory.

It’s time to stand as Christians, Christians who stands by the truth and for the truth. Many will persecute those stand by the truth. But if God is with us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31)

DICLAIMER: I am not discriminating LGBT, but I don’t believe in what they are fighting for. Practicing homosexual lifestyle is a lifestyle that is against to what the Bible says.

Sino ba ang dapat mong paniwalaan? Si Vice Ganda na kelangan mang-insulto para makapag patawa? O si Manny na nakakainsulto dahil sa pagsasabi ng kanyang paninindagan at pananampalataya?

TO VICE GANDA, hope you will read this.

Stop teaching our children how to insult people just to make others laugh. Stop educating our children and teaching them homosexuality is ok. We are Filipino, and homosexual lifestyle is very “unFilipino”. We do not want our children to be homosexuals, we want to them to be God fearing and morally upright.

Nobody is discriminating you on whatever you choose in life. Nobody is stopping you to do whatever you like as long as it is within the bounds of our laws, but HANDS OFF to what what we believe, HANDS OFF to our faith. HANDS OFF in teaching our children.

We do not believe in Homosexual lifestyle. We love all people, including you and LGBT as a community. But DON’T MAKE us SWALLOW your lifestyle, we can’t take it. We uphold Christian values and we will always teach that it is NOT what God wants for a Man and for a Woman.

Manny Pacquiao for Congressman

It’s almost official Manny Pacquiao is running for Congress in the upcoming 2010 elections. Manny will be running for the lone congressional district of Saranggani. The world’s 6th richest athlete will be going against a member of the Chiongbian family.

When asked why Manny Pacquiao is running for congress (again) the People’s Champ said how he has been dissatisfied with the performance of the Chiongbians in Saranggani.

“Kung satisfied ako siguro sa ginagawa nila ‘di na ako tatakbo dahil masaya ako. Susuportahan ko na lang sila,” said Pacquiao.

“Nakita ko naman na kulang talaga. In how many years, wala silang naitulong sa mga tao,” he added.
Manny Pacquiao ran for a congressional seat in 2007 in the first district of South Cotabato as an adopted member of Kampi, the political party of President Gloria Arroyo. However, he was knocked out by re-electionist Darlene Antonino-Custodio, who handily beat the boxing champ with a margin of more than 60,000 votes.

So what do you think? Should Manny Pacquiao run for congress or not? Personally I believe Manny Pacquiao serves his country best in the ring.
