Pacquiao's "Second Knockout Loss"

Philippines
May 21, 2007 7:57am CST
For the first time in his career, Manny Pacquiao was beaten... by a girl. As I expected, Darlene Custodio jabbed Pacman down the canvass by more than 63,000 votes, just less than half of Custodio's total votes, in the race for a congressional seat in South Cotabato. Did you expect the results as well? Reply now!!!!! Why "Second"? He was knocked out already in his boxing career.

I had alredy expected that Darlene Antonino will win. She is intelligent and she is re electionist. In her terms as congresswoman of General Santos she had represented well her people in the congress. I think people do like Pacquiao but they consider him much better in ring than in congress. He should have atleast a college degree as well as he shoulw really stop boxing if he really wants to be a congressman and just devote his time serving his people.

Well I was really expecting that his winning was a tough one considering that Darlene is pretty popular and very much active in his own district. I am just as sad that Pacquiao had entered into this political arena. I think his avid fans and friends have prompted him to run hoping he could win thru his popularity. I guess he took the wrong advices from his lawyer. I think this lawyer is also at fault for the contract he signed to manage his fight.

That is the prize he has to take home. He did not listen even to his mother but instead he rely on his popularity. Thanks to his lawyers and advisers at least Manny realizes his mistakes after that TKO and that he now know how "good" his advisers are.

Hi. I live and General Santos, part of Pacquiao's congressional district. Days before election, there are already lots of arguments who will really win. Almost everyone was clueless. So, everything went unexpected. What's sad now is he's depressed. It could be that he could not accept or beleive his loss. --wanna check my blog: http://crazydrunkguy.blogspot.com/
