Boxing legend and Senator Manny Pacquiao fought a “very good fight” despite losing to Cuba’s Yordenis Ugas in their welterweight match on Saturday, Malacañang said.
In a virtual presser Monday, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque thanked Pacquiao for bringing honor and glory to the country for many years.
“Nagpapasalamat po kami kay Senator Pacquiao sa hindi mapapantayang karangalan na ibinigay niya sa bansa at sa saya na ibinigay ng Pambansang Kamao sa lahat ng mga Pilipino sa kanyang mga laban sa napakatagal na panahon,” according to Roque.
“Senator Manny fought a very good fight with his heart and soul. Sa oras ng tagumpay at panahon ng pagkabigo sa kanyang boxing career, nasa likod po niya ang Sambayanang Pilipino. Ikaw pa rin ang aming People’s Champ, Senator Pacquiao,” he also said.
Ugas defeated Pacquiao via unanimous decision (115-113, 116-112, 116-112) in Las Vegas to retain the WBA welterweight belt.
