[Boxing] Pacquiao vs Matthysse July 15 2018

[nydiacaskey01]

Floyd vs Manny was good from a very technical perspective if you enjoy defensive boxing... Floyd neutered Manny, he did what he had to do, it was Manny's job to be the aggressor, who was expecting Floyd to take huge risks? he hasn't been doing that for a while. He made Manny swing at air and miss many shots, Floyd was scoring surgically as usual. It may have been a bit tedious at some points and missing some action but I wasn't expecting anything much different than what we saw.

This is so true. I am a fan of Senator Manny Pacquiao, others may not accept his loss with Floyd but it is true, but his fight Manny may have shown that he is the aggressor in the fight but it is not enough to show how aggressive you are to win the fight. If you are missing a lot of punches and the other is hitting with accuracy, judge will really give the fight to the one with less punches but high in accuracy.

That is the reason why pacman's fight is still making a lot of money because even if he is already not as young as the current champions. He can still give a very interesting and entertaining match. Unlike watching other boxers like floyd is a total waste of money. Bradley have already said before fighting pacman that he is already old yet what happens to him made him realize the reality.

I like this fight between pacman and lucas because lucas is typically a quite guy. Yet just like pacman this boxer is a slugger even if he doesn't have the speed like manny he can still be a good match for pacman. On the other hand it could be a test for both fighters. For pacman to win another built and for lucas to prove that he deserves to be on that spot

[yugyug]

My bold prediction, fight will not go the distance, with Pacman prevailing. I feel Pacman is still an elite fighter that will beat the other top welterweights, Crawford and Spence included. IMHO, his average performance recently is a result of poor training, cramming and overtraining due to his other job, and some complacency too.This time, I think he had more to time to dedicate himself to a better training regimen, with Fortune and Buboy tailoring the training to match his age. Just running up that steep mountain is a sign of a newfound enthusiasm to be better, and his getting back to the heavy bag too.

Everyone Pacman's faces always underestimate the little guy. They thought that Manny is too small for 147 lbs. But he destroyed a lot of them and even challenges bigger guys like Margarito. But after the fight, they all eat their words. Look at what happened to Hatton and Margarito (damaged eye).

Right, its going to be a test for both of them. Lucas and Manny has something to prove that's why this fight is really exciting. Will be good to see if Manny has the mindset that has made him a household name around the world.

I just watched a news regarding the fight between the two and one analyst said that "If Pacquiao will win in this fight, it will be a decision but if Matthysse will win, it will be a knockout". This shows that Matthysse remained his strength even he is 37 years old already. I am a fan of Pacquiao but as the others are saying, his speed are not like his speed several years ago. He is slower now but Matthysse is a slow fighter too but has power. This is the deciding match for Pacquiao too. If he loses in this fight, he will retire but if he win, there is a chance to fight AGAIN. .

@LogitechMouse. Which analyst said that? I reckon he has a talent for stating what is clear and self evident. If he was a cryptocoin analyst, he might be ignored by the bitcoin news media for making very boring predictions hehehe.

Also, why was this fight promoted in Malaysia? Is Manny having problems with the IRS again?

His average performance in his recent fights was maybe because of poor training or whatsoever but I really don't think it was, for me, the main factor that is missing was the 'killer instinct' that Manny Pacquiao had when he's in his prime, it's sad that's not existing anymore. We all knew that hardwork beats talent but the fighter's urge to knockdown their opponents at all cost is the true power that no coach can teach. I thought Manny got weakeaned by the fame and wealth but I felt it was because of his religion that made him soft inside and outside of the boxing ring.

The statement was from a philippine boxing analyst. Actually i am also trying to see his production may really happen. Because the analyst discussed why he assume that if pacman wins it will be a decission basing on his last 4 fights. If i am not mistaken since i can't remmber the exact thing he says. The last time pacman wins a tko was on 2012. Yes pacman can still score KO's but his ability to finish with TKO become so low.

On the other hand what i do like about the statement is that Lucas should KO pacman so he can win the fight else it will be in favor of manny

I think pacman is overrated in this fight, he lost his last fight and he is still the favorites of this fight.
We all know he is not getting any younger, I think it's only the hype that makes him favorites but let's still see what he can bring in the court tomorrow.

As soon as the ring start then we will see how our assessment will bring us, Pacman's supporters are hyping his chances hoping that they can still see their fighter to bring home another glory not for himself but for his land that he representing, the fight might not be the same things as we expected from him but winning still bring joy to many people who still believes on him.

Manny Pacquiao: 146 lbs
Lucas Mattysse: 146.7 lbs.

Its looks like everything is all set. Pacquiao is very trim and his body looks rock solid again. Although the age really shows on the final weigh-in, I think if he hits Mattysee early, he has a good chance to KO him. He looks like rejuvenated and motivated again. So I hope everyone watches the fight and see how Pacquiao perform and we can have a lot of debates after the fight. hehehehe.

I just watched a news regarding the fight between the two and one analyst said that "If Pacquiao will win in this fight, it will be a decision but if Matthysse will win, it will be a knockout". This shows that Matthysse remained his strength even he is 37 years old already.

Analyzing the fight is just the same here in crypto, you never know what will happen until it happen. I beg to disagree that if Matthysse will win, it will be by a knockout. Manny's style has changed a lot since that Marquez knock out. He is more careful now and that takes away the Pacquiao that we used to see, a reckless, relentless and exciting boxer that  made him famous.

This is the deciding match for Pacquiao too. If he loses in this fight, he will retire but if he win, there is a chance to fight AGAIN. .

Styles makes fight. They pick Matthysse to make Manny looks pretty good in this fight. This is some sort of a advertisement fight for his upcoming fight against Crawford which i think the retirement fight for him.

I do not need to badmouth or insult Pacquiao, but I think it can be better for him to concentrate on his profession in politics. he is already 40 years vintage and i am afraid that the fight towards Matthysse may be one-sided.

This thread is made to analyze the fight between Manny and Matthysse, not to say what their age are.

i am afraid that the fight towards Matthysse may be one-sided.

Had you made your bet already?

Manny Pacquiao KO Mattysse in 7th round.


Edit:

Axiata Arena, Kuala Lumpur - Eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao (60-7-2, 39 KOs) displayed shades of his former self with a seventh round knockout of Lucas Matthysse (39-5, 36 KOs) to capture the WBA "regular" welterweight title.

For Pacquiao, this was his first bout since July 2017, when he lost a controversial twelve round unanimous decision to Jeff Horn at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia.

This was Pacquiao's first stoppage win since 2009, when he put away Miguel Cotto in the twelfth round.

Well he did promise that we will try to KO Lucas if the opportunity persists so he delivered. So Manny definitely still has it although one can argue that he one is facing is already fading. Good paycheck though for Lucas.

Dude this fight also can help Pacquiao get more attention on his country philippines and he's get money from the fight though. He can use the money to fund his politics movement and also to the people on philippines. If Pacquiao win, philippines people will happy for sure.

This fight is intended to make Manny looks good so that there will be less resistance on his next fight which is against a champion also. We expect Manny to fight Crawford or Lomachenco next although i hate to say it but it would be like Dela Hoya vs Manny but now Manny is Oscar.

Good paycheck though for Lucas.  

That is why they can resist to fight Manny because that would be the biggest paycheck of their boxing career.

[Shinpako09]

Ever heard Victor Postol of Ukraine? The only fighter to score a knockout win over Matthysse. The man behind Postol's success is a Marvin Somodio, Filipino. Longtime deputy of Pacquiao’s former trainer, Freddie Roach. Somodio, who also gained a wealth of experience by being part of Pacquiao’s training team via Roach beginning 2009, said he sees Pacquiao scoring a decisive win over Matthysse.

Somodio said Postol isn't that strong puncher but manage to knockout Matthysse. Somodio said if Matthysse can't get Pacquiao after 4rounds, Manny will get him and won't reach 12rounds.

I'm very confident with this fight that Pacquiao will prove us once again that he still can fight.

I was right here and of course Marvin Somodio.

What's up Pacquiao critics. Even if you already know the result I just want to say it again. Pacquiao finished the fight against Matthysse in round 7. That's what i'm saying, just support him if you're really a fan of this guy instead of saying "he's too old", "he should retire", "he should hang his gloves". Cut the crap, just show full support if you're really a fan not unless you are not.

Well, age is just a number and Pacquiao proves it again. Matthysse maybe young but the power is still with pacman, so congrats to all who bet with pacman, you really have a good choice, for sure this is not the last fight of Pacquiao
