Some thought Manny might suffer an emotional letdown after his big fight/draw with Floyd Mayweather last Dec & that's exactly what happened. Fighting in front of his countrymen in the Phillipines, Pacquaio came up a little short in a tough back & forth bout with Sechew Powell losing a 15 SD 144-142, 143-142 & 143-144 - for Manny.

Powell out punched Manny 319-306 & landed 35% of his punches to Manny's 34% in razor thin fight. It was Powell's 2nd title shot - he was KO'd in the 15th in another tough/close fight a couple years ago by then IBO JMW champ - Fernando Vargas.

Manny drops to 4-1-1 @ 154 & Powell improves to 19-2 by winning the WBO JMW strap.
