PhilBoxing.com




LAS VEGAS, NEV. (December 9, 2012) ? Following his knockout loss to Juan Manuel M?rquez, Fighter of the Decade MANNY ?Pacman? PACQUIAO made a precautionary visit to University Medical Center.

?Manny was given a CT scan and the results were negative,? said Michael Koncz, Pacquiao?s advisor. ?We were in and out in just over an hour and Manny was in excellent spirits.?

Pacquiao returned to his penthouse suite in THEhotel for a family dinner followed by a viewing of his fourth fight against Marquez. As the DVD played, Pacquiao announced ?Spoiler alert. I don?t think you are going to like how this ends!?

Pacquiao then issued the following statement to his fans:

?First and foremost I would like to thank God for keeping Juan Manuel M?rquez and me safe during our fight on Saturday night,? said Pacquiao. ?I want to congratulate Juan Manuel. I have no excuses. It was a good fight and he deserved the victory. I think boxing fans who watched us were winners too.

?To all my fans, I would like to thank you for your prayers and assure you that I am fine. I am looking forward to a nice rest and then I will be back to fight.

?On behalf of Jinkee and our family we would like to wish everyone a joyous Christmas and a happy and healthy new year.?

In a consensus Fight of the Year, Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38 KOs), of the Philippines, ahead on all three scorecards 47-46, was knocked out by M?rquez (55-6-1, 40 KOs), of M?xico, via a spectacular right hand, with one second remaining in round No. 6.
