Manny Pacquiao’s fight today was again another spectacular display of brilliant boxing fight and it is very evident on the face of Antonio Margarito who took all the beatings that Manny can give him. From the start of the fourth round it is already clear how destructive and powerful the punches that Pacquiao had thrown on his opponents way.
From a simple cut on his right cheek became a big gash and by the 11th round, it is crystal clear that Margarito can no longer nor has so much difficulty seeing where the punches of Manny came from. Or Manny just simply have lightning quick punches?
Or perhaps, Margarito is also simply just slow and old and can no longer cope up with the quickness of the hands and footwork of Pacquaio. It seems like he has Osteoarthritis or Rheumatoid Arthritis with what he displayed himself in the four corners of the ring. He is strong (Pacquaio even claimed that is) but just slow to react in defending the punches coming his way. For sure he will buy glucosamine later after the fight.
The point is, height sometimes is not a might because David have slain another Goliath again but this time he is using his punches.

I really agree with you. But you know, one thing that I admire Pacquiao is that when he goes up to the ring side, he always pray before the fight. After all, it’s GOD who gave him such ability.
