Opinion about this article

It was a great win for Manny Pacquiao where he did prove that he can still fight in the ring and compete with younger generations of boxers. What really gives him courage and strength is the total support of Filipino people.

He dedicates his win to Filipino people as well as to his country. With this win, there is still the possibility that he will be matched with other generation of boxers or Matthysse will have a rematch fight with Pacquiao.

Whatever the decision of Manny Pacquiao, as a fan, I will totally support all of his matches.
