Marquez dropping out Pacquiao is a sensational humiliating contrast against Pacquiao’s sensational ascent to fame. It was revenge the Mexican people has then and always ardently wished for but then such wistful thinking was now realized and defeat as such, was somehow superfluous as Mexico’s best gleaning glory in terms of execution, credibility and magnitude. An upset somehow be regarded legendary, an epical saga of tremendous upset for Manny’s attempt of redeeming a receding boxing career yet was not such repertoire be vindication to Marquez claim of winning their former bouts?
For me, it is indeed. Only the first bout was unofficially Pacquiao’s but as the best of a boxer is sharpened by its constant use so was Marquez than Pacquiao the sharper in terms of analogy and execution.
Indeed it is an upset most impaling for the fact of its implication, Manny’s not the best fighter after all when it comes to tactic, brain and strategy bec Marquez showed that indeed, he is the better in tactical preparation, execution and patience. He was focused, an action planned and calculated as adverse to claims of his K.O punch as lucky. Didn’t Manny observed how Marquez was less responsive and wary, he should have been more cautious. Marquez played the keen, clever, thinking boxer Manny should have done to win than playing a raging assaulting bull. Marquez if observed from his entry has a disposition quite complacent, and aura as striking of would be winners.
Yet how Manny on the other hand humbly accepted defeat was something honorable better than winning but then giving off alibi as the culprit for its prestige’s erosion as due by a lucky punch is pride though it could have been national pride actually talking through. This must be a preservation of reputation, to diminish the impact of humiliation, as due honor for national pride so as Manny’s undefeated ego for the country was embellished.
Many Catholics pointed out the missing rosary he typically wore as too, culprit of the loss but then that is on the religious sour grape aspect.
The best aspect though from this tremendous tragic defamation was how debasement plays positively for its spiritual contrast—humility that is as though God speaks, preeminence makes money, humility acquires God close.
For the Philippines pride as exemplified by Manny, it out-sparkles and out-transcends the revenge victory of Mexico. Indeed that day would be Philippines’ herald as the world’s champion, morally and integrally, virtue-wise, that is. It would never be depleted by that solidarity rise of national pride beyond any championship belt the boxing world can produce that Philippines won the day Pacquiao lose. That is, virtue-wise in terms of its unambiguous outstanding purity.
