A
friendly suggestion, guys:
With
Manny Pacquiao’s loss, let’s show to the world that we Filipinos know how to
accept defeat.
I
am one with our countrymen who find it hard to believe that Pacquiao had lost
to Tim Bradley. But whether we like it or not, the match was a contest. And in
a contest, it’s the judges who decide who wins.
Much
to our regret, two of the three judges chose Bradley over Pacquiao.
Let’s
not immediately claim it was a ‘fixed’ fight. Or something to that effect,
until indisputable proof is produced by anyone involved in the match.
Anybody
correct me if I’m wrong but when Pacquiao won over Marquez, the latter’s camp
claimed he was the actual winner but overall, Marquez’s countrymen still
accepted his loss.
It’s
perfectly alright to express our grief. But in doing so, let’s not give anyone
a reason to say something bad against us.
Until
wrote this piece, Pacquiao has not aired any suspicions of fraud in the
judging.
Flood
the website of the World Boxing Organization (WBO) with your sentiments if you
want to. Ask your friends and relatives to join you. Any and all protest action
s are welcome..
But
do it in total civility or professionalism. DON’T give anyone any bullet to
shoot us.
Latest
reports say both Pacquiao and Bradley are open to a rematch in November. That
means Pacquiao can still do us proud.
It
was a very honorable loss for Pacquiao, people.
The
three judges had identical scores and the only difference was two of them went
for Bradley. But Pacquiao and us Filipinos definitely have NOTHNG to be ashamed
of. 30
