Is This a Sign for Pacman's Retirement?

    Take it or leave it, the loss of Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao creates a huge controversy of what's behind and what's wrong of his boxing performance last December 9, 2012, Sunday. Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez had an intense fight. All the people around the nation were heeding about their phenomenon fight. Everybody was at their home to witness them on television and some were at the public covered court for paper views. Good thing, 0% crime rate.
     The result of their boxing fight really shocked the Filipinos most especially, the family and avid supporters of Paquiao. As stated from my source: http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/video/2012/dec/10/manny-pacquiao-knock-out-juan-manuel-marquez-video, the Filipino boxer and politician Manny Pacquiao lost against his great rival Juan Manuel Márquez on Sunday, knocked out and sprawled across the canvas by a foot-long right to his exposed chin in the sixth round. It was Pacquiao's first loss to Márquez in four controversial bouts, but his coach Freddie Roach and promoter Bob Arum both say this is not the end for the legendary boxer and a fifth fight between the pair could be given the go-ahead. As this statement was stated, is there any sign that Pacquiao would halt his boxing career? I guess, obviously no. Since Pacquaio's coach and promoter said that Pacman will still have another fight.
     Before, I always here people around me says in laymans term, "pag.retire na Manny, sapian na bitaw ka." This utterance of many leaves a mark on my mind and asks a question, "When is he going to retire? When he is going to be severely sick? When he loses his good health and wealth? Or most badly, he would lose his life. Some may think that what happened on their fight is such a visible sign that he needs to retire as soon as possible and while he is still doing fine. But some do not believe that Pacquaio need to end his career as early as now. Whatever the decision of Pacquiao's side, I suggest that we Filipinos should accept and respect it.
     He has proved himself already and he has gone so far.
