Pacquiao Stops Solis
Sunday April 15, 2007
So much for Manny Pacquiao being distracted by political aspirations or looking past undefeated but unheralded Jorge Solis (32-1-2). Pacquiao (44-3-2) took a few rounds to figure out his taller opponent but immediately went into attack mode after suffering a cut over his left eye from an accidental headbutt in round six. Pacquiao pounded Solis for the remainder of the sixth and the entire seventh round before finally dropping him with a short left-right combination in the eighth. Solis beat the count but soon found himself back on the canvas from a series of unanswered Pacquiao punches. Solis was clearly hurt but made it to his feet as referee Vic Drakulich reached the count of ten and waved off the fight. Solis, who did not seem interested in absorbing any further punishment, did not protest.

he is really the number one pound por pound fighter of the world..just hope politics will not snatch him from his latest success..better for him to concentrate in boxing..he cannot serve two masters at a time..congrats manny..the mexican destroyer!!
i’m proud to be filipino because of manny pacqiuo. I will pray that the next fight will be marques and we believe that he can knock it down too. Mabuhay philippines!!!!
Manny looked beatable tonight. He wasn’t that big as compared to the last Erik fight. I hope he doesn’t get complacent with his training. The next fight for him would be Marquez. I’m looking for that fight. Of the two fighters, I say Manny has improved better than Marquez.
Manny the Pacman Pacquiao is the best boxer in the world right now. Pound for Pound King. The People’s Champ. The Recipient of the most coveted Ring Magazine Belt. The Hall of Famer in the making. Even Floyd Mayweather Jr. is no match with him. He is the Destroyer. He has NO FEAR. He can beat every opponent at present. And he can continue to do so for the next several years. Congratulations Manny!!!..We are proud of you!!! You are our National Hero!. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!.God bless you!
Congratulation Manny on your very convincing victory, once again you prove you are the greatest fighter in your division, you have the skill and the quality of a boxer that every filipinos can be proud off.You are truly a legend and national hero of all the filipino people.. Mabuhay and God bless you. Have to no fear Manny(the Pacman) is here!!!!!
Congratulations Manny you made it again and I hope that your strength will never change. You are truly the destroyer at your division right now.Your countrymen are always praying for your continued success and proud to your career. Dont enter politics you are only a star at your place while being a boxer is a star all over the world.
pacman shows the heart of a true champion despite not at his best usual form for this fight, and proves to everyone that his the best pound for pound fighter today. Marquez, Soto..bring em on, at his peak form right now he is unbeatable.
manny is a great boxer but politics is not boxing.
Not quite fair suggesting that the Solis let himself get counted out. He had been hit cleanly and solidly from a series of shots from a devastating puncher, and nothing in his body language - or face - indicated that he was dawdling in getting up. Andrew, you write nice pieces - but have you ever been hit repeatedly and solidly by a professional, with 10 seconds to get up and ready for more?
Being able to watch Manny in person at the Alamo dome was an incredible experience. Especially being in the midst of a predominantly latin-American crowd, I, along with some very close friends proudly stood and waved our Filipino flag throughout the fight in support of Manny. Thanks Manny for the experience and hope that you have given the entire Filipino population throughout the world. And I say this being an African-American, but father to a beautiful balikbayan daughter.
IT FEEL GREAT AGAIN TO HEAR THAT MANNY HAD WON
PERO SANA UMURONG NA LANG SYA SA POLITICA…KUNG GUSTO NYA MAKA TULONG SA PINOY, HE CAN USE HIS POPULARITY RIGHT NOW TO INFLUENCE OUR PRESENT POLITICAINS TO DO SOME MOVES PARA SA KAPAKANAN NG FILIPINO, HINDI Y’UNG ANG POPULARITY NYA AND GAGAMITIN NG POLITICAL PARTIES WHOEVER THEY ARE (mag isip sana sya)….ISA PA! IF ONE TIME MATYEMPO NA SYA ANG MATUMBA SA RING …THE OPPONENT COULD SAY “I PUNCHED AND SEND TO THE CANVAS A FILIPINO CONGRESSMAM”
GINAGAMIT LANG NG PARTIDO ANG PANGALAN NYA
concern Filipino
ALA EH CONGRATS MANNY!
inspires my students!
Pacman is the best pound for pound boxing player in the present…. you make all the filipinos proud manny, believing that filipino can do everything just for the country…..you made us realise that filipinos are the best in all aspects!!
u made us upset wen u decided to run for congressman….. i hope u realise wat are the things u doin’…. as some said politics is not a boxing…
sucess in boxing won’t last forever…. (think)
Mabuhay Philippines!!!
Congrat’s manny your trully great, but I hope your career will not end because of the dirty politics.
The fact Freddy Roach was in that corner at the last minute made such a difference. Let’s hope Arum and the flunkies that surround Manny don’t ever push Freddy out. Now, let’s get a title to go along with being one of the two best boxers in the world. Chris John at 126 or Edwin Valero at 130 would be nice. But Juan Manuel Marquez is now the man except his win over Barrera was questionable and that will have to be given another fight to determine this. In the meantime I hope Manny get’s himself a title. With Guzman moving up to 135 it leaves one less opponent to consider.
pacquiao is so hot right now, but bautista is another story to be told. he is exciting like manny. he come with solid punching. . . .yehey for bautista!
Manny should not be too greedy. He already has the power because of his lofty achievement in sports. Now, he wants to be in mainstream politics? Is that not greed for power or plain insecurity of himelf?
Manny is the worlds best pound for pound boxer and he’s a filipino sports hero but not a political leadership material. Celebrity status does not mean a potential excellent leader.
I adore Manny Pacqiao and I’m one of his die-hard fan, but his celebrity status has been exploited by the useless crocodi-political candidates to try to win ( or guaranteed to win) political office.
Even if Manny wins the congress, he does not have enough brain cells to help the poor life conditions of the filipino in his own home town.
If Manny Pacquiao continues to fight for his bid in the Philippine political office, the world will percieve that all filipinos have the same intellectual capacity as Manny Pacquiao.
Let it be!! We should hope that this trend will continue!! We will just hope that whoever wins the world’s Karaoke championship is from the Philippines and we will nominate him/her for the Presidency!!
Long Live the Philippine Style!!
pacman is the best everytime he has a fight i get up on the peak of my seat it was really a blast he gaves glory to our country. no doubt he’s one of the legend in our philippine boxing history…
Congrats to manny, I think manny will not win in his fight in politics because the people know that it will be bad for him, that is how much the filipino love him, I hope in his next fight that they also mentioned Manny Pacuiao is the Philippines National Fist. I hope Manny Fight Valero at his Prime right now to be Phisically match against Edwin Valero or Joan Guzman.
that punk ass pac is afraid of joan guzman he knows he will get hes ass beat
Aside from Manny is taking english lesson and business course, he should learn also how to manage fame and glory. Manny don’t you ever forget the Lord your God who gave you the power and strength to get whereever you are right now.(Deut. 8:18) God bless you Manny!!! We love you!!!
Pacquiao is the best Pound for Pound boxer now on the earth, i believe that he can beat Dela Joya before 6 round. Go Manny!! Youre the bes!!!
