On July 02, 2017, the Filipino boxing superstar Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao lose WBO welterweight championship belt to the Australian boxer Jeff Horn at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia via unanimous decision.
Pacquiao humbly accepts his defeat against the young Australian boxing icon during the so-called Battle of the Brisbane.
On July 02, 2018, the awful brawl between Gilas Pilipinas and Australia occurred at the FIBA World Cup 2018.
The FIBA 2018 brawl has been the headlines of local and international news outlets a day after the controversial riot happened.
Recently, the Facebook page “Batang Pinoy – Ngayon at Noon” has uploaded the Pacquiao-Horn match and FIBA World Cup braw, which both happened on July 2 but in two different years.
