Jimuel Pacquiao to push harder next time as pro debut ends in draw

2025/12/01 14:59

MANILA, Philippines – Emmanuel “Jimuel” Pacquiao Jr., the eldest son of boxing legend Manny Pacquiao, vowed to “do better” after he settled for a majority draw with Brendan Lally in his first pro fight on Saturday, November 29 (Sunday, November 30, Manila time) at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California.

The scores were 38-38, 38-38, and 39-37 in Pacquiao’s favor in the four-round lightweight tussle, one of the featured bouts in the inaugural United States presentation of Manny Pacquiao Promotions.

The older Pacquiao, boxing’s lone eight-division world champion, was at ringside with his wife Jinkee to watch Jimuel, whose partner Carolina gave birth to daughter Clara last week, pursue his passion.

“It was tough, ’cause my baby now is a week old and it was hard leaving them right away. It was hard. No excuses. I could have done better and I will do better next time,” Jimuel told Fight Hub TV.

The taller Lally, also making his pro debut, was the aggressor and busier fighter, but Jimuel was more accurate with his punches, sneaking in overhand rights and uppercuts whenever the Chicagoan bore in.

As an amateur, the 24-year-old Jimuel compiled a 6-4 record, a little better than Lally’s 5-4 card.

“Could have done better. For the next time, I’m definitely pushing it more. Now that I experienced it, it’s different from the amateurs. I only have like 10 fights in the amateurs and it’s a big step. Next time, I’m definitely pushing it harder,” said Jimuel. – Rappler.com

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

The post EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/CHF weakens for a second straight session as the euro struggles to recover post-Eurozone inflation data. Eurozone core inflation steady at 2.3%, headline CPI eases to 2.0% in August. SNB maintains a flexible policy outlook ahead of its September 25 decision, with no immediate need for easing. The Euro (EUR) trades under pressure against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Wednesday, with EUR/CHF extending losses for the second straight session as the common currency struggles to gain traction following Eurozone inflation data. At the time of writing, the cross is trading around 0.9320 during the American session. The latest inflation data from Eurostat showed that Eurozone price growth remained broadly stable in August, reinforcing the European Central Bank’s (ECB) cautious stance on monetary policy. The Core Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, rose 2.3% YoY, in line with both forecasts and the previous month’s reading. On a monthly basis, core inflation increased by 0.3%, unchanged from July, highlighting persistent underlying price pressures in the bloc. Meanwhile, headline inflation eased to 2.0% YoY in August, down from 2.1% in July and slightly below expectations. On a monthly basis, prices rose just 0.1%, missing forecasts for a 0.2% increase and decelerating from July’s 0.2% rise. The inflation release follows last week’s ECB policy decision, where the central bank kept all three key interest rates unchanged and signaled that policy is likely at its terminal level. While officials acknowledged progress in bringing inflation down, they reiterated a cautious, data-dependent approach going forward, emphasizing the need to maintain restrictive conditions for an extended period to ensure price stability. On the Swiss side, disinflation appears to be deepening. The Producer and Import Price Index dropped 0.6% in August, marking a sharp 1.8% annual decline. Broader inflation remains…
