Pacquiao wins big in battle of concealment

By Recah Trinidad
Philippine Daily Inquirer

excerpt..

"Now, this is not to say that a third Pacquiao was also there inside the ring versus Cotto.Far from that.  

But what clearly won for Pacquiao this ultimate test of character was the hungry, unsinkable, fatherless poor boy who smiled through tears and pain while wrestling with an unwilling world for a living. 

That boy showed up, a mature and unshakeable warrior, for the big fight against Cotto."
