Referee admits he gave Manny Pacquiao plenty of time in early win


One of Manny Pacquiao’s early wins in the Philippines was suddenly smeared.

Referee Carlos Padilla, from the Philippines, recently said on WBC’s YouTube Channel that he came to appreciate his countryman after he knocked out Australian Nedal Hussein undefeated in 2000.

Pacquiao collapsed in round 4 but surpassed the count and continued to score 10order-Technical knockout. Three games later, he beat Lehlo Ledwaba in Las Vegas, the springboard for him to become a superstar.

Padilla said, each Bloody elbow: “That fight, I was about to go and leave the next day, and they said to me, ‘Carlos, please… this is an important fight for Manny Pacquiao because the winner will have a chance to win. compete for the world championship.’ So you know the opponent, Hussein, or whatever his name is.

“He is taller, younger, stronger and [a] dirty fighter, managed by Jeff Fenech. So in the 7th round, I thought Manny was knocked out, I thought he would get up but his eyes were crossed (laughs). I’m Filipino, and everyone watching the match is Filipino, so I extended the count. I know how to do it.”

Hussein was not happy to hear of Padilla’s comments. Nor was he surprised.

“Honestly, after watching the referee tape, I was really worried,” he said. World boxing news. “I was sad for 24 hours. Not the fact that he said what he said. It’s more because we already know it. But the way he spoke with a smirk and a smile as if he were proud of what he had done, like the depth of his corruption, it was clear that it was in his veins and in his heart.

“So obviously he’s done it before because it’s nothing to him.”

Boxing Junkie calculated the kill time from the video above. He was on the canvas for approximately 10 seconds, meaning he could be counted down depending on when Padilla started counting.

Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KOs) has made a career in the Hall of Fame together. Hussein (43-5, 27 KOs) has never won a major.
