Retired Referee na Si Carlos Padilla Umamin Na Nandaya Para Manalo Si Manny Pacquiao!

Isang nakakagulat na rebelasyon ang isiniwalat ng retired referee na si Carlos Padilla patungkol kay Boxing Champ Manny Pacquiao.

Inamin ng retired referee sa isang panayam na may ginawa umano siyang pandadaya para lamang manalo sa laban si Manny Pacquaio sa isang Australian fighter na si Nadal Hussein noong 2000. 

Ayon kay Carlos, sinadya umano niyang bagalan ang pagbibilang noong ma-knock out si Pacquiao upang makabawi pa ito ng lakas.

“So, you know the opponent, Hussein, or whatever his name was. He is taller, younger, stronger and a dirty fighter, managed by Jeff Fenech. So in the fourth round, Manny got knocked down, I thought he was going to get up, but his eyes were cross-eyed. I am Filipino, and everybody watching the fight is Filipino, so I prolonged the count. I know how to do it. When he got up, I told him, ‘Hey, are you okay?’ Still prolonging the fight. ‘Are you okay?’ ‘Okay, fight.’” pagsisiwalat ng retired referee.

Dagdag pa nito na sinadya niyang patagalin ang fight at ang pagpapa-deduct ng points ni Hussein.

“Because Manny was not like Manny is now, he wasn’t trained by Freddie Roach yet, he holds on for his dear life, and Hussein throws him, and he went down again. I said to the opponent, ‘Hey, you don’t do this.’ You know, I was prolonging the fight. ‘You don’t do that. Okay, judges, point deduction,’” pagbabahagi pa ni Carlos.

Isiniwalat pa ni Carlos na nagwagi si Manny Pacquaio sa laban kay Hussein by TKO dahil ni rule out niya ang paghe-head butt ni Manny sa kalaban.

“[B]ecause he is shorter he headbutted the other guy and there is a cut, but I declared it a punch. If there is a headbutt you have to stop the fight and declare to the judges a point deduction, but I didn’t do that, meaning the fight could continue. [The cut] is not really big—but I never got the doctor to check it [because] I want to see it serious,” pag-amin pa nito.

Samantala, wala pang ipinalabas na pahayag si Manny Pacquiao hinggil sa pagbubulgar na ito ni Carlos.
