THE THREE GUYS THAT BEAT MANNY PACQUIAO
VIDEOS OF TODAY'S SUPERMAN & EARLY KRYPTONITE
San Francisco, CA- There is no more popular and possibly better fighter in boxing today than Manny Pacquiao. The Filipino superstar who went from rages to beyond riches and fame as a prizefighter, Manny has a record of 49-3-2 with 37 KOs. In his last two outings Pacquiao hasn’t lost a moment (yes, I said a moment) in eight rounds with Oscar De La Hoya and less than two with Ricky Hatton last month.
PACQUIAO A PRO NOW FOR 14 YEARS
But there are three losses on his professional ledger and today we look at the three guys that beat the man most people think is the best fighter in all of boxing. But in order to do that, we need to go back to January 22, 1995 and the professional debut of Pacquiao. On this day he weighed around 107 lbs, this as he bested countryman Edmund Ignacio on points over four rounds in Mindero, Occidental. Pac would go 13 months and 11 fights before taking on a slightly more seasoned Rustico Torrecampo (then 11-4-4, 8 KOs) in February 1996.
PACMAN DOING A HATTON IMPERSONATION
A single straight left hand from southpaw Torrecampo caught Manny on the chin walking in as the shot was driven right between Pacquaio’s gloves. It was one of those knockouts in which a fighter is “short circuited” (medical term is concussed) neurologically. The Pacman would come back and win another 15 fights (13 by KO). In the process Manny captured the WBC 112 lb. title besting Chatchai Sasakul (then 33-1) in December 1998 with a KO 8.
THE DAY THE PACMAN COULDN’T MAKE WEIGHT
Set to defend in Thailand against undefeated Medgoen Singsurat (18-0), Pac never made the flyweight limit of 112. Officially, Manny weighed 113. After losing the first two stanzas, the Thai fighter was advancing on a weakened Pacquiao. A single right hand to the body ended matters in round three September 17, 1999.
PAC JUMPED UP THREE WEIGHT DIVISIONS
The weight drained Pacman moved up ten lbs. bypassing super flyweight (115) and bantamweight (118) to 122 and super bantamweight. Winning another six before stopping the favored Ledlo Ledwaba (then 33-1) for the IBF 122 lb. trinket, the Pacman had turned some heads. The first fight to Erik Morales (then 47-2) ended with a UD 12 win for the Mexican champion as it was 115-113 across the board (7-5 in rounds).
MORALES REMATCH NOT LIKE THEIR FIRST
Morales would grant Pacquiao, who was hampered greatly by a cut in their first encounter of March 19, 2005, a rematch less than a year in January 2006. Pacman demolished anything Morales had left as a boxer in this fight. They would clash a third time, and the blitzkrieg that was Pacquiao on this November 2006 evening stopped Erik in the third fistic frame.
WHAT’S ERIK UP TO NOW?
Morales would have one more fight in losing to David Diaz before retiring at 48-6 with 34 KOs. Erik likes Luche Libre, a Mexican style of professional wrestling and is involved in the business in Tijuana as his better half’s father is a promoter. He is 32 years of age.
RUSTY CAN ALWAYS RUN THE VIDEOTAPE!
The first guy that beat Pac, Rustico Torrecampo, he retired from boxing in 1997. He is now 36 years old. His being a Filipino national that once beat Manny has to earn him a little extra respect from his countryman, although the Manny that Rustico stopped in 1996 was green like a well watered lawn.
GUESS WHO’S STILL FIGHTING A DECADE LATER?
Medgoen Singsurat, who beat Manny ten long years ago, the Thai is still active as a boxer. He lost the WBC flyweight title he took from Pacquiao after one successful defense to another Filipino in unbeaten (10-0) Malcolm Tunacao. From that point forward, Singsurat has been an above average “regional” fighter. Now 31, Singsurat last fought in May and is now 62-5 with 44 KOs.
PAC’S TWO LOSSES FEW PEOPLE HAVE SEEN
Below are two links to short videos of the Torrecampo and Singsurat fights. In closing, Manny Pacquiao proved that he could overcome the adversity of a couple of early losses to rise to his position today as “the best fighter in boxing.”
IDEOS OF TWO LOSSES FROM LAST CENTURY
