When your surname is Pacquiao, the shadow you cast is monumental. But at the recent 'Thrilla in Manila 2' event, a new fighter began to cast his own shadow. Emmanuel Joseph Bacosa Pacquiao, one of Manny Pacquiao's sons, did not just show up; he dominated, boasting an undefeated record of seven wins, no losses, one draw, and four knockouts.
While the event was organised by his father to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the historic 1975 fight between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, the buzz quickly shifted to the 20-year-old boxer.
