Manny Pacquiao did it again. Despite the head butt from Jorge Solis, Pacquiao won in the Blaze of Glory which was held in San Antonio, Texas. Personally, I didn’t expect the victory of Manny Pacquiao because early in the morning, the people are telling that Pacquiao was knocked out in round 3. Even my mother does not want Pacquiao to win the bout because Pacquiao started to become arrogant when he beat Larrios and Morales.
Pacquiao (44-3-2, 34 knockouts) holds the WBC international super featherweight belt, and is the WBC's No. 1 contender to the super flyweight title held by Juan Manuel Marquez of Mexico. Solis, the brother of IBF light flyweight champion Ulises Solis, lost for the first time in 35 fights. The head butt occurred when Pacquiao lunged toward Solis in the middle of the ring. Pacquiao appeared clearly upset, and began connecting efficiently on Solis. Later in the sixth, Pacquiao pushed Solis into the corner and threw a flurry of punches. Pacquiao knocked down Solis twice in the seventh, the end coming 1:16 into the round in the scheduled 12-round bout.
By the way, Pacquiao is running for Congressman. Will he win this coming election? Let’s see.
