II'm still in awe why Manny Pacquiao lost the World Boxing Organization Welterweight Boxing diadem. The once dreaded boxing lion was vanquished in the BATTLE OF BRISBANE via the pounding, head locking, head-butting, elbowing and youthful Jeff "The Hornet" Horn.
Pacquiao's courage and heart were still there for him to successfully defend his crown but he lost the same because of five secret weapons of Horn towards which I would discuss below and they are the following: 1) The JEFF FENECH FACTOR; 2) The REFEREE FACTOR; 3) THE CROWD FACTOR 4) The ROUGH HOUSING FACTOR and 5) The UNDERESTIMATION FACTOR.
*** THE JEFF FENECH FACTOR
Jeff Fenech is a three-division world boxing champion who also landed in the boxing hall of fame, who eventually a boxing coach. He once upon a time trained Australian boxer Nedal Hussein in a boxing match in Manila many years ago where Pacquiao nearly lost by way of dirty tactics.
Jeff Fenech is a consultant to the Horn camp and advised Horn to bring the fight to Pacquiao and make the fight a brawl. In connection with the result of the fight where Horn made some rough housing and connect the same to the Hussein fight, it seemed like Fenech advised Horn to do the dirty tricks for the latter to wrest the world title crown from Pacquiao.
*** THE REFEREE FACTOR
The referee of the said boxing event was clearly favoring Jeff Horn, as a matter of fact, no point was ever deducted to Horn in times where he would repeatedly headlock, elbow, hold and head butt the former champion.
A point deduction or even a warning against Horn would have affected the fight and Horn's momentum would have lessened had the referee stood neutral and judicious.
*** THE CROWD FACTOR
Due to the encouragement and support of the hometown crowd, Jeff Horn was fighting like a champion and Pacquiao was acting like a challenger. Seldom that we would see that a title fight is being staged in the turf of the challenger, usually a title fight is held in the champion's lair or in a neutral territory, because of this Horn got the advantage without Pacquiao noticing it.
*** THE ROUGH HOUSING FACTOR
Jeff Horn used everything to win, aside from his good lateral movements, body and head movements, punching power and speed, he had clearly resorted to dirty tactics such as head locking, head-butting, elbowing and holding. These dirty tricks on the part of the challenger had clearly diminished the movement of Pacquiao which eventually contributed to his loss.
*** THE UNDERESTIMATION FACTOR
Manny Pacquiao, the champion had clearly and unequivocally underestimated the challenger, since the challenger is not a household name in the world of boxing except Australia. Jeff Horn had only seventeen (17) fights across his name prior to the big fight and them same had no big fight aside from his fight with the former world champion, the South African Ali Funeka.
These are the silent factors which I believe contributed to Pacquiao's loss in his world title defense in Australia basing on my sportsman's point of view. Pacquiao can make these factors as an excuse, but as some would put it that "In victory or in defeat, a good athlete never has an alibi".
