the pacman robs the mexican

yes, he is filipino and he just beat mexican juan miguel marquez for the light featherweight crown in las vegas. it was hotly contested and marquez feels he had won that encounter and has vowed to follow pacquiao to whatever weight class pacman decides to fight in (pacman’s trainer has intimated that his ward might move to the next weight class as he finds it difficult to keep his weight at the required 130 lbs).
