Only a minor miracle can stop International Boxing Federation junior featherweight champion Manny Pacquiao from winning two categories in the Internet poll conducted by the no. 1 boxing network in the world, HBO, whose championship fights are seen on Viva Sports program the ?Main Event? on RPN-9 on Sundays.
The latest tally released by HBO showed Pacquiao an overwhelming winner for Fighter of the Year garnering 80 percent of the votes cast as against a measly 9 percent by heavyweight champion Roy Jones Jr.
Clearly, Pacquiao?s devastating three-round knockout over hitherto undefeated Emmanuel Lucero last July 26 and his 11th-round annihilation of the legendary featherweight king Marco Antonio Barrera thrilled boxing fans around the world who voted for the flamboyant Filipino southpaw who celebrates his 25th birthday on Wednesday in General Santos City.
