Like the GOP in the last presidential election, Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao didn’t see the perfect counter punch coming.Just as Pacquiao was about to clinch another round, Marquez floored him with a right hand.
“I got hit by a punch I didn’t see.” Pacquiao admits.
Ok so much for the technical stuff. It was a great fight. Both boxers went down meaning they are as close equals at could be. “Luck” or “karma” maybe a factor. Psychological and spiritual preparation might prove decisive.

I say again from Sun Tzu: “Every battle is won or lost before it is ever fought.”
While Congressman Manny Pacquiao and his friends in House of Rep. were preparing for the fight, more than 500 bodies were being recovered from the ANNUAL typhoon-induced mudslide, in Pacquao’s own Mindanao Island. But the Philippine Congress was busy with the fight so they could not be bothered. (See Photo)
On Friday, Dec. 7, 2012 LA Times reported: “More than 500 people are reported dead and hundreds more remain missing after Typhoon Bopha slammed into the archipelago this week. The storm weakened after it struck the south, but has rebounded as it veers northward, now as strong as a Category 4 hurricane.”
How the heck do you think LUCK will allow this Filipino congressman-boxer to win?
Now if Pacquiao is NOT a member of the Philippine Congress, which is not exactly the most honorable and respected congress in the world, a pious man, he could pray to God for victory that he might help his fellow Mindanaoans, do you think God will answer his prayers?
Ironically Mitt Romney who didn’t see Obama’s victory coming, gave Manny Pacquiao a pep talk before the fight.
My unsolicited advice to Manny Pacquiao is to consider leaving Philippine politics. You have already given Filipinos so much honor and pride a 10 million Filipino men and women could not give in their entire lifetimes. Focus on your boxing career, you do not belong in Philippine politics. There are other ways you can help the Philippines. Being a congressman or in politics is not one of them.
