Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao was able to retain his World Boxing Organization welterweight title after a 12-round intense and extremely exciting exchange of punches between him and his opponent Juan Manuel Marquez.  

It was a close fight. It was a split decision among the judges. One called it a draw but judges Dave Moretti and Glenn Twobridge favored Pacquiao and thus declared him as winner.

There are a lot of buzz online and some were not satisfied with the results. It was supposed to be a rematch that will finally put an end to the claims of who is the real champ among the two boxers considering that their last two bouts years ago were clouded with controversies.

Marquez fans were furious with the decision which is understandable because it was indeed one close fight. Even Marquez walked out of the MGM Grand Garden Arena upon hearing the final decision.

I was expecting Pacquiao to knock Marquez on the floor and as some has predicted, it will be at either round 6 or 7. Apparently, Marquez did his homework and trained well. He gave "Pacman" a run for his money.

I am happy that Manny Pacquiao was still able to bring the honor to the Philippines but with all these controversies buzzing around, it's hard to be completely celebratory. There are issues of unfairness and who knows where this thing could lead to.

But for now, I just like to say, "Congrats Pacman!"
