Not related to the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather 2 rematch, I just wanted to share that alleged Manny Pacquiao's son from other woman has made his professional boxing debut.
Pacquiao Jr. (Emmanuel Bacosa Pacquiao) greatly resembles his father not only in appearance but also in his fighting style. It appears he has inherited his skills from his father and I hope he continues to carry on his father's legacy in the world of boxing.
Has anyone here seen the fight? If not, you can watch it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY_a29p3a0MExpecting the same kind of performance that his father had from this kid is simply unfair, Pacquiao is one of the best boxers ever and probabilities alone dictate that it will be almost impossible for two fighters of the same level could appear on the same family, just look at what happened to the children of Chavez which is the best Mexican fighter ever, his kids were bad inside and outside the ring, so as long as this kid can avoid tarnishing the reputation of his father and can become a champion I would consider that a success.
It's good to see another Pacquiao in the ring, but yeah, I do agree that it's hard to follow the footsteps of his father. Sure he had the genes, but his father is one of a kind. We've seen a lot of father and son in boxing already and we can say that it's going to be totally different.
The young Pacquiaos have their own path and career, who knows they can be able to rise as a champion although not as great as their father. The one on the video have potential and I think he is better than his sibling.
If I'm Manny though, I wouldn't let my son go and fight in the ring. He knows it is a brutal sport. Manny that time has no choice though, it was the only way to get out of poverty that's why he choose that path and very successful. His son has nothing to proved, he is already a Pacquiao, he looks like his father but his path in life will not be the same.
I do otherwise, I'd just let them do their aspirations and will support them.
About the rematch of Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, I read that Manny Pacquiao does not confirmed nor deny the rumor, though there are some teasing statement from Manny that he will be releasing a big news in the coming day.
“Abangan niyo na lang yung announcement (Just wait for the announcement),” Pacquiao responded recently when asked if there is truth to social media posts claiming he and Mayweather will go at it for a second time.
sourceIt is possible that the deal is on the work and yet to be finalized reason why neither camp is denying or confirming the rumor.
