Many boxing "experts" were proved wrong who said that this fight was a joke and that De La Hoya was picking on a little guy only to pad his bank account. Well the pride of General Santos, Phillipines had his greatest victory to date, and has earned comparisions to the greatest multi-division champion in the sport's history, Henry Armstrong. Freddie Roach, Manny's trainer said that he had only bet on his fighters three times in the past and won all three times. He bet $5000 on Pacquiao win by knockout at 6-1 odds. Surely he will have a big grin on his face when he picks up that $30,000 profit.
