MACAU – This is one fight aching for a win – for Manny Pacquiao and a grief-stricken nation.
While victories in the past had been a source of pride and joy for Filipinos, a decisive win over Brandon Rios today will not only reaffirm Pacquiao’s role as hero and inspiration to the people.
It will also delete forever the residue of his two grave losses to Timothy Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez and, most importantly, will spark a resurgence of hope amid the ruins and devastation back home brought by the typhoon surge.
Never has there been one fight with so much riding on it. And Pacquiao knows this is the fight that matters, a defining moment in his long and storied career.
Whether he would regain that esteemed place atop the world of prizefight put in doubt by that devastating loss to Marquez will be known at high noon today.
