Manny Pacquiao interview after 1st Morales fight - Video

[Lucky Luciano]

He should have given Morales credit and let it be. Some the excuses he gave for losing were unbelievable.

[AFighter4U]

To the TS since you are clearly not a fan of Pac and has not followed him throughout the rise of his career. The blood issue with Pac during that time, before the fight created out rage in the Philippines press media including the gloves issue when they discovered that he was not allowed to wear his usual gloves. Pinoy boxer in a lot of cases has been cheated abroad or even in at home against fighters with names. The only way a Pinoy fighter can win any foreign fighter with a name is though KO and that is a fact in Philippine boxing history and is the biggest reason why it is rare to product technical boxer that doesn't go for the kill in that land.

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.”

I am a FIlipino and this transcript is spot on.
TS YOU GOT OWNED. YOUR POINT IS NULLIFIED

[Phil Ivey]

Don't know why he would make excuses... He was outclassed by Morales first time around. I commend him however for his two victories over Morales. For those with the delusion of Mayweather's ego the only problem in making the fight, look at Pac.. when asked about his loss to Morales he continues to make so many excuses. Both Mayweather and Pac have huge egos and if the fight doesn't go through then the blame lies on both of these fighters.

[bayareamike]

The other dude posted the same video but without translation.. But here's one right on the video. Same translation as the poster that typed it all out. Either way... TS GOT OWNED BIG TIME!! lmao *****!!!

[Canelo Phresh]

its funny how he didnt mention this at the end of the fight interview only the socks shoes cut and gloves lol

[bayareamike]

This interview was over 5 years ago. Is pacquiao some sort of oracle or some ****? Damn that boy knew he was gonna be in talks to fight mayweather so he mustve made this video as an excuse in advanced huh??? Lol

[bayareamike]

Yeah it's also funny how floyd claims he came back to clean up the sport of boxing but how long did that crusade last? Hmm he fought Marquez but no ost for him huh? Could it be because manny could really potentially give him that first L? Manny was right, he said he's gonna call floyds bluff cause he don't want to fight pacquiao. And right now it really seems like it. floyds backed into a corner now. No more running. Sign the contract or your new name is "*****boy" Floyd. If he don't sign it he's ducking pacquiao and there's nothing you *****s can say to prove otherwise. It's over.

This is a pathetic excuse. Manny blamed the gloves on his loss saying he would be better with the Reyes gloves (which suit puncher's better). This may be true but Morales had to wear the same gloves, If the gloves they had didnt work well enough then why was Manny's face all cut up and swollen but Erik barely had a scratch on him? I suspect it has something to do with Pacquiao's lack of defence and boxing intelligence!

That's actually one of my main criticisms of him. After Morales beat Pacquiao, Morales (realising he had outgrown 130) moved up to 133 (contracted weight) to fight Zahir Raheem. Morales weighed 134, But Raheem let it go and beat Morales in a lopsided unanimous decision.

Rather than fight move up and fight Raheem (Like any honourable champion would), Pacquiao rematched Morales at 130. Freddie Roach, Noticing the difficulty Morales had in making 133 against Raheem. Put a million dollar weight penalty on Morales if he came in a lb over the limit. The tactic worked, Morales killed himself to make the weight and had no strength in the fight. Of course Morales didnt have to agree to it, But it was still a big time ***** move by Team Pacquiao.
