Jimuel at Manny Pacquiao
SUPER proud ang presidential candidate na si Manny Pacquiao sa unang pagkapanalo ng kanyang anak na si Jimuel Pacquiao sa naging laban nito sa U.S. amateur junior welterweight fight.
Nangyari ang pakikipaglaban ni Jimuel kontra kay Andres Rosales sa House of Boxing Gym sa San Diego, California, nitong nagdaang Sabado, March 12 (Linggo, March 13 sa Pilipinas).
Naglabas ng official statement ang Wild Card Gym sa nakamit na tagumpay ng actor-boxer, “Congratulations on your first amateur fight and your first win.”
Nanghihinayang man dahil hindi niya personal na napanood ang panganay na anak nila ni Jinkee dahil nga super busy na siya sa kampanya, agad naman niya itong binati matapos ang laban nito sa Amerika.
Sa pamamagitan ng kanyang official Instagram page, nag-post din ang Pambansang Kamao ng congratulatory message para sa anak na boksimgero.
Ilang litrato na kuha sa laban ni Jimuel ang ibinahagi ni Pacman sa kanyang social media accounts na may caption na, “Congratulations to my son @pacquiao.emmanuel on fighting and winning his first U.S. amateur fight at junior welterweight! I’m so proud of you. #TeamPacquiao.”
Sa website naman na The Ring, mababasa ang report tungkol sa laban ni Jimuel kontra Andres Rosales.
Narito ang bahagi ng nasabing ulat, “Emmanuel Pacquiao Jr. moved his amateur record to 1-0 on Saturday with a decision win over Andres Rosales at the House of Boxing gym in San Diego, Calif.
“The bout was his first sanctioned amateur bout; Pacquiao Jr. had previously competed in unsanctioned bouts in Manila.
“Pacquiao, 21, of General Santos City, Philippines used a stiff jab and a sneaky overhand right to consistently beat his opponent to the punch in front of a packed crowd.
“There were no knockdowns or scores read, only the announcement that Pacquiao in the red corner had emerged victorious.
“Marvin Somodio, who has been an assistant to Pacquiao Jr.’s eight division champion father for a decade, liked what he saw from the young man known as ‘Jimuel.’
“’This is only his first amateur fight but he showed me that he has heart. He’ll get better and stronger,’” said Somodio of Pacquiao Jr.”
Samantala, balitang mananatili pa rin si Jimuel sa Los Angeles, California para sa pagpapatuloy ang kanyang boxing training sa Wild Card Boxing Club na naging training camp din ni Pacman sa loob ng maraming taon.
