- Manny Pacquiao is a champion again!
- Pacquiao celebrated after stopping Lucas Matthysse in the seventh round of their bout in Kuala Lumpur
- He scored first knockout in nine years in win over Matthysse
Almost a full decade since his last knockout win, Manny Pacquiao reminded everyone on Sunday that he’s not quite done yet. The boxing legend picked up his 60th career win and the WBA welterweight title by defeating Lucas Matthysse via TKO – his first stoppage win since 2009 – in Malaysia on Sunday.
And while PacMan was very good, the star of the show was his mother, Dionesia Pacquiao.
In now a viral video taken during Pacquiao’s fight versus Matthysse, the PacMom was spotted at ringside on Saturday going through what is either the torment of watching your son get punched in the face or a very convoluted religious ceremony designed to put Manny’s foe off.
Netizens react

Watch PacMom’s supposed voodoo act during Pacquiao versus Matthysse fight in Malaysia: Mommy Dionesia’s casting out prayers stir attention at Manny Pacquiao’s Fight in Malaysia
In 2014, Pacquiao’s mother Dionisia was also seen in almost the same scenario during the fight against American boxer Timothy Bradley. In an interview, she explained the secret behind her supposed voodoo act during the fight. Turns out, the welterweight champion’s mother was merely praying to the Santo. Niño – not casting a spell on her son’s opponent, as it would appear to be.
