That video is irrelevant because like I said before, Pacquiao NEVER mentioned a problem with blood testing until Floyd requested it. Larry Merchant asked him why it was a hard fight and he blamed getting cut, wearing the wrong gloves and shoes etc. He never mentioned blood testing as a reason for losing the fight, But now that he is being pressurised to take a blood test. He's desperate to find an excuse not to take it, An excuse that the public will accept. But I have exposed that excuse as false so it doesnt mean anything anymore. If the blood test had really weakened him then he would have mentioned it after the fight and not 2 or 3 years later.
English translation transcript of the
2005 interview below by
Wadapak23:
Dong Puno: “Now, let’s talk about
this thing they call ‘blood test’ and
we don’t understand this either.
Why do you have to be blood tested
2 days BEFORE the fight? Then that ’s
why here, in Manila, there were
rumors that the fight might not
happen because the Nevada
Commission were insisting that the
test must be passed and if not, they
wouldn ’t give the fight any permit
or recognition. What really
happened there ?”
Manny Pacquiao: “Here’s what
happened, one month before the
fight, they rushed me into doing a
‘ medical’ they said to be required
by the Nevada Athletic Commission.
Because they said that the
Commission needed the required
‘ medical.’ So I did the medical test
one month before the fight.
Complete with everything …
Dong Puno: “Including the blood
test?”
Manny Pacquiao: “Yeah, including
the blood test, they took my blood,
then its done. So I went back to my
training until the fight, then I was
already reducing my intake. The
next day, it ’s the weigh-in, it was 2
days before the fight. I didn’t eat, I
didn’t drink water because my
weight was right on. Now, all of a
sudden, the commission called
asking for my blood for the
‘ medical’. I said ‘why, we’ve done
that’. My camp reacted, my trainer
‘Coach Freddie’, even my manager
‘Shirley’ reacted why are they
asking for my blood since we’ve
done it. They said that the Doctor
said he lost my medical record. ”
Dong Puno: “They lost it?”
Manny Pacquiao: “Yeah, they lost
my record.”
Dong Puno: “So, first of all, whose
fault is this? Is it the hospitals’? One
of your managers? One of your
people? Because they didn ’t follow
it up, they didn’t verify that it was
really submitted.”
Manny Pacquiao: “Yeah, that’s the
thing. Why didn’t the Nevada
Athletic Commission have any
record that they rushed me one
month before the fight because
they said they needed my medical
record. ”
Dong Puno: “Well, that’s really hard
to explain…”
Manny Pacquiao: “And why did they
have to wait 2 days before the fight
until they inform us about it ?”
Dong Puno: “You know, it appeared
here in Manila that your people,
they ’re blaming each other,
pointing fingers that ‘you should’ve
checked this and that’.”
Manny Pacquiao: “You know, I
talked to a Doctor from another
hospital and he told me that it is
impossible that they lost my record
since it ’s on a computer. It was
impossible that they lost my
record. ”
Dong Puno: “Ah, yeah that’s it. So
you didn’t really look for whose
fault it was? You really think the
hospital was at fault ?”
Manny Pacquiao: “Yeah, it was the
hospital’s fault, but we didn’t really,
you know, since there’s no more
time. The fight is in 2 days. So we
didn ’t really, in other words I have
big doubts that it was just a part of
their tactic.
And you know, after they took
blood from me. I felt dizzy, the back
of my head started hurting. The
doctor said to drink a lot of water,
but I couldn ’t drink water, I couldn’t
eat, so I just lied down and had it
massaged. ”
Dong Puno: “So, by fight time, you
really felt your body weakened?”
Manny Pacquiao: “Yeah, I really felt
it. When I was hitting Morales with
my punches. I said to myself that if
this is the only power I have, I
won ’t be able to knock Morales
down.”
Dong Puno: “You know, Morales said
that after the fight, He said that he
didn ’t feel any power from your
punches.”
Manny Pacquiao: “That’s much
better because he doesn’t how
much power I have yet.”
Dong Puno: “Haha, so next time,
you’ll make him feel it.”
