By the 11th round, the cut under Margarito's right eye, inspected in his corner after each round, was so bad and Pacquiao was doing such damage that Pacquiao kept glancing at the referee, expecting him to step in and stop it. He even admitted after the fight that he had backed off a bit in the last two rounds because he didn't want to damage the eye any more. The result was a unanimous decision and the WBC junior-middleweight title.
And this from KTLA:
The day after America's midterm election, Manny Pacquiao was talking politics. Understandable, since the boxing sensation has a side career as a congressman in the Philippines.
There's talk that one day he might be president in his homeland. Understandable, too, if only because he's the biggest sports hero the country has ever had, so popular that crime virtually stops there every time he gets in the ring.
But who would have thought that the little fighter who does things no other fighter has done could play a role in helping re-elect the majority leader of the U.S. Senate?
...
"I think Manny has to get a lot of the credit for his help in electing Sen. (Harry) Reid," Arum said Wednesday.
Holy shit! The Flip kid's a holy terror! Heh.
