Can Pacquiao unite RP with his doubtful win?

MANILA, Philippines—There may never be another fight like Sunday’s Juan Manuel Marquez-Manny Pacquiao world 130-lb boxing championship in Las Vegas for a long, long time.
You see, a few succeeding world championships could also turn inconclusive, controversial.
But there may never be an immediate major ring battle that could divide the boxing world the way the Marquez-Pacquiao championship did.
For the record, the judges picked Pacquiao—definitely not at his blazing best, contrary to what had been loudly advertised—winner by split decision.
However, many people who saw the bloody brawl felt Pacquiao did not honestly deserve the verdict.
* * *
Something evidently went wrong out there.
Either the judges blinked or were rendered ****eyed by the klieg lights at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino.
In fact, Pacquiao, humbled, appeared most surprised when the result was announced. He would later admit he was quite lucky to have ended up the victor.
Well, nothing really wrong with that.
Pacquiao, a far cry from his fabulous self, worked very, very hard in order to last the bloody, brutal 12 rounds.
Sturdy and very brave, he did win it, based on the votes of two judges (2-1).
But, after a review and an honest-to-goodness accounting, it would also be next to impossible to find one truly objective fan who would claim Marquez had lost the fight.
* * *
Repeat: They could go say that Pacquiao won.
But, in the same breath, they cannot honestly claim that Marquez lost.
It’s not as simple as that.
In fact, the Filipino television panel at ringside was itself divided.
World flyweight boxing champion Nonito Donaire said he had Marquez ahead going into the 12th and final round.
But another guy in the Solar Sports TV team said Pacquiao could still swing it if he scored at least a knockdown.
The third panelist refused to vote.
As for me, Marquez was ahead going into the last round.
* * *
The result of the 12th round was decisive, clear as daylight.
Marquez won it, landing sunny punches at a ratio of 3-1. On the whole, Marquez was smarter, sharper.
For a good part of the fight, after Pacquiao scored a third-round knockdown, the resurgent Marquez was threatening to turn the title bout into a mismatch.
There were very dull stretches for Pacquiao when he would just stand there, shallow and blank, if not swinging in wild.
Of course, we have to give it to the Pacman, who summoned all his grit and courage to come back from the ropes, where he was ****** savagely to the body, after being rendered half-blind by an eye wound.
* * *
You’re free to make a vote.
In fact, Pacquiao himself appeared lost, in agony and unsure of the result, as Mike Buffer proceeded to read the scorecards.
All told, the loudest cry of relief must’ve come from Malacañang, whose No. 1 tenant was soon engaged in a warm telephone talk with the winner and champ.
“Thank you, thank you very much Ma’am,” an ecstatic but visibly battered Pacquiao told the President.
Then, speaking to Manila via Solar Sports, Pacquiao begged his countrymen to unite and be one, forget all the quarrels and mud-slinging, not only when he fights—but forever!
Not a bad try, although Pacquiao must also be told he’s not given a split-decision chance of succeeding in his avowed mission.
The reason is plain and simple.
You cannot unite a simple barangay unit riding on the doubted result of a title fight that, pardon it, has divided the boxing world itself.

mandatories.
question: when pac defends whichever title ya wanna call it, who decides if at all whether the fighters have blood/urine testing?
i mean, they are all paranoid now so...what? anyone know?
my take is that think that the "wbo" will favour pacman demands as he holds their title should he wish to defend.
also, sulaiman and arum i think are bumming each other now so the wbc(should he fight a top rank fighter at any point will also favour his demands).
or is it that the licencing states job to decide? its probably a matter of whos bummin who.
question 2: who would give up possibly the largest sum of money ever earned in a single fight by avoiding blood tests 14 days prior to fight?
i would fight all of em on the same night for a fraction of that and besides, when pacmans done all his dough on his forthcoming congressional campaign and, when hes finished giving it away to his fellow countryman,extended entourage and not forgetting arums bit and also golden boys slice he will probably be skint and end up giving floyd all that is required and.....elerbe can have his ass hole for desert!
