(CNN Philippines) — Two weeks after he succumbed to Floyd Mayweather Jr. via unanimous decision, Manny Pacquiao is still adamant he won the “Fight of the Century” by two rounds.
“Pinanood ko rin ng ilang beses yung laban sa bahay at para sa akin, panalo ako by two [rounds],” said Pacquiao during a press conference at the NAIA Terminal 2 upon his arrival from Los Angeles.
“Kapag tinignan natin round-by-round, panalo tayo. There’s no question.”

But Pacquiao said he has already moved on from the loss. There is glory in defeat, after all, as he won the hearts of those who witnessed the megafight.
“Gayun pa man tapos na ang desisyon, kailangan tanggapin na lang natin,” the People’s Champ said.
“At least sa puso ng mga tao, panalo ako.”
While a rematch remains a moot, Pacquiao said he is focusing on the recovery of his right shoulder.
“Ang focus natin ngayon ay magpagaling. Magaling naman yung nag-opera sa akin, by six months babalik na sa 100-percent yung balikat ko,” said the Filipino pugilist, who fought through a torn rotator cuff but said he only felt it late in the third round of their bout.
