Manny Pacquiao knocked out by Juan Manuel Marquez

The World Boxing News check how the legend of boxing and the Master of Eight’s validity of Manny Pacquiao managed to lose eight times.

The excellent energy package known as “Pacman” has a record of 62-8-2 and 39 KO as a professional, and some of his failures are more controversial than others.

Taking the paid ranks at the age of 16, month and five days in 1995, Pacquiao has gained experience in the fight against adult men from the very beginning.

Like the pound star, Canelo Alvarez, Pacquiao dipped his fingers at his feet with much older campaigns when he is still a teenager of school age.

But at the age of 18, things suddenly became very real for the teenage pretender. It was not silky for the skinny teenage teenage who would ultimately become the world champion of eight.

Many Pacquiao losses

Defeat number 1 – Rustico Torrecampo [February 9, 1996]

It was 1996 and Manny [11-0, 4 KOs at the time] He accepted 24-year-old Torrecampo at the fly weight. The transfer took place after the fight with the previous thirteen months in the lithe of the years.

The fight was organized with a catch mass of 111 pounds, although Pacquiao came in a pound. Then he was punished by wearing heavier gloves during the fight.

However, the mighty favorite Pacquiao was stunned by Torrecampo with a destructive shot and knocked out – almost frosty. The end took thirty seconds to the third round and through a man with only five knockouts on records 11-4-4. It was an early waking up to Pacquiao’s career.

From then on, Rodak Torrecampo would only win two fights in his career, losing four. Then he retired in 1997 at the age of 25 without any significant titles for his recognition.

After almost 14 years from the ring in February 2011, Wwadzka Muchowa returned. Torrecamp knocked out Jovanie Buralan in three rounds. He has not fought since then.

2 – SINGSurat [September 17, 1999]

Pacquiao [26-1, 17 KOs] It seemed that he was learning a lot after his first defeat, when he set off to the invincible run of fifteen fights. Thirteen of them appeared at a distance.

The title of WBC Flyweight in the twelfth of these wins in 1998, defeating Master Chatchai Sasaku with the eighth round of KO. Then Pacquiao accepted Singsurat in 1999 in his second defense at the age of 21.

Singsurat had a flawless 18-0 record and was at the same age as Manny, fighting for his first world championship title. Pacquiao was again knocked out in the third round, losing the world championship title during the year of the claim. This scenario took place despite the dominance in the opening rounds and the look of the class over the Thai warrior.

Finally, he created two successful defense of the WBC title before succumbing to Malcolm Tunecao.

Singsurat fought 52 times since Pacquaio’s victory, knocking out 37 opponents, never returning to world -class. He failed in his last eleven fights until his retirement in 2011.

3 – Erik Morales [March 19, 2005]

In 2005 Pacquiao [39-2-2, 30 KOs] At that time, he accepted Erik Morales’s “El Terrible” in Super Feather in a featherweight and was the world champion in two importance. Pacquiao barely missed the third loss earlier after attracting Marquez with Juan Manuel a year earlier. In the face of Morales, it was now a fixed name in the USA.

Moving up the fourth weight from Turning Pro, Pacquiao fell into a confident Morales at the peak of his powers and lost his close unanimous decision in Las Vegas.

Pacquiao avenged a defeat a year later, knocking out Morales in the tenth round of the pulsing competition in Thomas and Mack Center. Before he scored the stunning second seven rounds earlier in a rubber match ten months later. Morales was the only of his failures he would reverse.

We all know a lot about Morales. The Mexican legend show in 2011 against Marcos Maidan at the age of 34 was a fantastic show of the legend of the real ring. Unfortunately, the fight with Danny Garcia went a step too far in 2012.

4 – Timothy Bradley [June 9, 2012]

Pacquiao’s failure with Bradley is well documented. Today it is annoying that such parodies occur in the sport that we love. But unfortunately they still do it, and this is undoubtedly one of the worst.

The divided decision against Pacquiao was a noise since the last bell. The score lasted IRK, until Pacquiao gained revenge, and then a rubber fight that should never have happened. In compact, Pacquiao won all three Bradley fights convincingly about the evidence of the trilogy.

Pacquiao [54-3-2, 38 KOs] He won the initial fight 118-110 on the WBN results card. However, he was robbed by a terrible decision, which was recognized by the expansive majority of the media of the boxing world after the fight.

5 – Juan Manuel Marquez [December 8, 2012]

It is quite possible that the loss with Bradley had a demanding impact on Marquez’s fight. Six months after Shadley Shocker in December 2012, the way of thinking Pacquiao enters the fight undoubtedly was not suitable. This was probably because he was disappointed with judging and went to a knockout against Marquez.

This Gung-HO attitude, caused by the decision, potentially made Pacquiao a reckless in choosing Marquez Ko. Ultimately, this meant that he was caught by an almighty blow, heard all over the world.

After a few bad decisions against Pacquiao, the victory of Marquez in the sixth round was poetic justice. Then he refused Pacquiao a chance to be humble.

6 – Floyd Mayweather Jr [May 2, 2015]

There will always be sadness and looking back at this super-catering, knowing not only that the audience received many years too behind schedule, but also that Pacquiao stated that he was wounded during the fight.

We will never find out what would happen if they met in 2010. Floyd did what Floyd does and softened a unilateral triumph in 2015. Despite the disappointment, “Maypac” remains the best -earning struggle of all time and sold the second highest salary for views.

7 – Jeff Horn [July 2, 2017]

When you thought that the situation could not get worse than Bradley’s fight, the horn meeting tried to raise him as best as possible. The fight in summer 2017 down ended like Bradley I.

Pacquiao dominated the fight only to re -build judges in the fight for the WBO welterweight title. It is possible that Pacquiao should have only six losses in its album. However, there will always be opposite arguments, stating that Pacquiao’s career has compensated.

8 – Yordenis Ugás [August 21, 2021]

Fighting in forty and becoming the oldest welterweight master in 2019, Pacquiao defended the crown against a harsh Cuban. Ugas was a behind schedule replacement after Errol Spence Jr. He withdrew, leaving Pacquiao without the possibility of two stripes.

He could not get up to the fight and lost again for the eighth time in his career.

The return was on the cards in 2025 in 45, when Manny Pacquiao tried to create more stories. However, after the end of 46 years, Pacquiao turned to politics until May this year.

Terence Crawford trainer BoMac admits one fighter ‘had his number’: “We had to pick it up”

Terence Crawford has faced select top-class players throughout his career, but there was one player who coach Brian “BoMac” McIntyre deemed a real threat to his protégé’s dominance.

As the undisputed champion of three divisions, it’s safe and sound to say that “Bud” never shied away from a formidable challenge, even if it meant putting himself at a significant disadvantage.

His fight with Canelo Alvarez, for example, saw the extraordinary technician move up two weight classes and dethroned the Mexican with a remarkable unanimous decision victory last September.

Similarly, many felt that Crawford was clearly the underdog before us his fight with Errol Spence Jr. in 2023only to score a ruthless ninth-round finish and unify all four major welterweight titles.

But according to longtime head coach “BoMac,” Crawford came closest to his only professional loss in 2019, six years before he retired from the sport.

The American was then defending his WBO welterweight title against Egidijus Kavaliauskas, also known as “Mean Machine”, who was not only undefeated, but also boasted an impressive knockout to victory ratio.

I’m talking to Podcast on the front pageMcIntyre credited Kavaliauskas with forcing Crawford to change his tactics after the third round, when “Bud” jumped out of the ring after being deemed a no-knockdown.

“That motherfucker just kept coming and coming. He didn’t stop. For the first few rounds, he only had Bud’s number because he was punching before Bud and punching after Bud.

“It was like, ‘Damn, dog – you [Crawford] I have to pick it up.”

Ultimately, Crawford managed to secure a ninth-round victory over Kavaliauskas, but he had to dig deep into his tool bag to win. The record-breaking star later said that “Mean Machine” was one of the hardest hits he had ever faced.

“Well, you never know. You know what I mean? I think he can make that weight if he wants to,” Prince told Fighthype about the fight between Shakur and Haney.

“But like I told him, Shakur weighs 135 pounds. They weigh 147. So out of 12 pounds, we’re willing to take eight. We’re not even saying we’ll meet halfway.”

“So you never know. I don’t count them because certain numbers often change a person’s mind, right? You never know.”

Prince also said there are ongoing discussions about Stevenson fighting next after recently winning the WBO 140-pound welterweight title.

“It’s up in the air. We’re regrouping. We’re planning again and people will know about it very soon,” Prince said.

Shakur moved up earlier this year and defeated Teofimo Lopez to win the WBO 140-pound title. Stevenson already held titles in three weight classes before moving up to 140.

Haney continued competing at welterweight after moving up from 140 pounds following fights against Ryan Garcia, Brian Norman Jr. and Mario Barrios.

Prince also mentioned undefeated lightweight title challenger Abdullah Mason, who returns to his hometown of Cleveland this month.

“I’m excited, first of all, that Abdullah Mason is fighting at home,” Prince said.

“I have a long history with Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, the entire Midwest was one of the first to embrace my Rap-A-Lot movement.

“They should be really proud of their child.”

Tony Bellew explains why Fabio Wardley was right not to throw in the towel against Dubois

Tony Bellew explains why Fabio Wardley’s corner were right not to throw in the towel against Dubois

After Saturday’s heavyweight classic, one of the key topics of conversation was whether Fabio Wardley’s corner should have pulled his man out earlier, and former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellew shared his view on the matter.

Wardley defended his WBO heavyweight title against Daniel Dubois, but despite two early knockdowns starting in the seventh round, it quickly became clear that the champion was fading.

With Dubois attacking and attacking, the once even fight slowly became one-sided, and after two doctor checks and continued attacking, referee Howard Foster finally intervened in round 11.

While many viewers questioned whether manager Ben Davison should have saved Wardley from an unnecessary penalty, Bellew defended the coach during a TV interview Fight Your Corner Podcast.

“I’m not like many others. I don’t think it should have been stopped earlier. I think the referee did a great job. I don’t think the towel should have been thrown in earlier for the straightforward reason that Fabio Wardley has already shown on many occasions, that he never takes him out of a fight.

“Even if he’s miles behind, even if he’s been injured in a fight, he can pull his hand out of the bag at any time, and for that reason alone, that’s why he should have been allowed to continue playing.

“This is the reason why players like Arturo Gatti were able to continue playing against players like Micky Ward. With his neck up against the ropes and getting punched in the face regularly and Frank Cappuccino [referee] let’s leave it alone, it’s because of the history it has. So they allowed this fight to continue and in my opinion they were right.

“You’ll never make fights truly magical unless you allow the carnage to unfold.”

After a precautionary check-up at a nearby hospital, it was confirmed that Wardley was not seriously injured in the fight. The Ipswich fan favorite could now act his rematch clause and will try to take revenge for the first defeat in his professional career, becoming a two-time heavyweight ruler.
