"Next time I fight, I’m going to push the pace much harder," Jimuel Pacquiao said. "I’m happy I was able to experience this. Fighting as an amateur is a different experience than fighting professionally. I only had ten amateur fights, so this was a huge step up."
The fight came less than two weeks after Jimuel’s fiancée gave birth to the couple’s daughter. He said it made preparing for the fight difficult, but he also told Fight Hub TV he could’ve prepared harder.
Manny Pacquiao, the Hall of Fame boxer from the Philippines, watched the fight from ringside.
