Asked what she would tell Mayweather if given the chance to talk to him, Dionesia, or “Mommy D,” said she would tell Mayweather that he won by cheating.
“Nanalo ka, Mayweather, sa daya mo,” (‘You won, Mayweather, because you cheated’), she said in a GMA 7 interview which aired Monday.
She lamented that Mayweather played dirty during the historic fight
“Nagalit ako kasi marumi siya,” (I got angry because he played dirty) Mommy D said. “Hindi makasuntok si Manny kasi niyakap niya.” (Manny could not punch because he was being held)
“Nakita ko nasaktan siya, nasaktan si Mayweather,” (I saw him get hurt. Mayweather was hurt) the mother stressed.
She added, “Sa likod, nakita ko ang kamay ni Mayweather, ginaganoon sa likod ang anak ko… Sabi ko, ‘Referee, referee!’ Wala, hindi napakinggan.” (From behind, I saw Mayweather’s hand on my son’s back. I shouted ‘Referee, referee!’ Alas, I was not heard.)
Mommy D said she got so angry at Mayweather that she wanted to face the American boxer in the ring.
“Kagabi pagsigaw ko, ‘Bagsakin mo na! Ako ang aakyat diyan.’ (Last night, I shouted ‘Knock him down! I will go up there.’),” she said.
Meanwhile, after losing to Mayweather, the mother of the Filipino boxing champ said she wanted her son to retire.
“Sa isip ko, kung nanalo, matalo siya, huminto na siya… Stop na.” (I thought, win or lose, he should already quit) she said.
Mayweather outboxed Pacquiao, winning via unanimous decision. AJH
