More Pacquiao Punches

Manny Pacquiao is called the best “pound for pound” boxer in the world.
And even sometimes, as the greatest fighter in the world? Maybe, for this year. Hmmm. Not yet, as there will always be Muhammad Ali!

Anyway, here are some of the best fight pictures taken by sports photographers at ringside and around the country to capture the raw emotion of victory and defeat.


Photo by Isaac Breken of Associated Press. That does hurt.


Another photo by Al Bello of AFP. Even the right hand can hurt.


I know one tabloid had for it's headline only one word. "Bagsak." And Even Robert Martinez, my batchmate from UST and former colleague from CITEM showed me a text message that says, "Hindi lahat ng natutulog nasa kama..." Definitely, in reference to this photo by Jae C. Hong from AP.


These are the hands that made Filipinos proud last Sunday! Photo credit to Gabriel Bouys of AFP / Getty Images.

Cheers to Manny Pacquiao! You made the country proud
