Some of those losses being more controversial than others. Here are the seven boxers that made it past Manny Pacquiao:. After dominating at light-flyweight for almost a year, Pacquiao made a jump to flyweight. Rustico Torrecampo was his first challenger in the new division.
The catchweight bout was set at lbs; however, the Filipino challenger weighed in a pound heavier. As a penalty, Pacquiao had to wear 8-ounce gloves while his opponent wore 6-ounce gloves. Torrecampo, who only had 5 knockouts in his career, scored several significant strikes and knocked Pacquiao out thirty seconds into round 3.
Pacquiao lifted himself back up after his first loss by going on a 15 fight win streak. Within this timeframe, he also won the WBC flyweight title by defeating defending champion Chatchai Sasakul. Moving forward, compatriot Torrecampo would only win two more fights in his career, losing four. He then retired in at the age of 25 without any significant titles to his credit.
The flyweight made an unexpected comeback after almost 14 years out of the ring at 38 in February Torrecampo knocked out Jovanie Bualan in three rounds. Thirteen of those came inside the distance. He picked up the WBC flyweight title in the twelfth of those victories in , beating champion Chatchai Sasaku with an eighth round KO. Singsurat held an unblemished record and was the same age as Manny, fighting for his first world title. Pacquiao was again knocked out in the third round, losing his world title within a year of claiming it.
This is despite dominating the opening rounds and looking a class above the Thai fighter. However, Manny was over the specified catchweight by 1 lb and as a result, he faced a penalty for exceeding the weight limit.
Pacquiao had to wear eight-ounce gloves whereas Rustico wore six-ounce gloves. This penalty proved to be a massive disadvantage as Pac-Man suffered his first defeat in the boxing ring.
Therefore Manny suffered his first loss against Torrecampo in in front of his home country. Just like his first loss, Pac-Man was 1 lb over the flyweight limit of lbs. Moreover, the title was at stake for Sangsurat only. To make matters worse, Boongsai Sangsurat knocked Pacquiao out with a body shot in the third round of the bout. As a result, Manny Pacquiao lost his second fight along with his flyweight title. After losing his flyweight title to Boongsai Sangsurat, Manny Pacquiao moved up a division and won the WBC International super bantamweight title in his next bout.
Following the title win, the Philippine boxer did not lose a single bout in his next 14 fights and became a prominent name in the sport.
Well for me I have watched both fights a number of times because I for one want to know whether Manny really won or not. And I hate to say those who don't believe that Manny won, is simply he won both fights. With that Manny should score to to JMM. And remember that round three is a round so the final score could be , assuming even rounds are And to think Manny has already progressed so much, it would be a different fight if ever they meet again and I hope what happened to Morales on the third fight with Manny may not happen to JMM.
