After a string of 11 straight wins, Pacquiao was knocked out in the third round by journeyman Torrecampo. Pacquiao failed to make the 106lb limit and was thus, forced to use heavier gloves.

These factors, plus what was said to be a lucky punch by his opponent, led to the Pacman's first career loss.
