[Boxing] Manny wins over Matthysse!!

[btc_angela]

The 40-year old guy won the match against Matthysse, whom I thought was on top form. Never expected this result, as I was sure that Pacman was going to lose. The good thing is that I didn't made a bet on this match. Else I would have lost quite a bit.

Well the 40 year old guy has still some pops on both hands isn't it. He maybe a tad slower because of his age, but the timing and the footwork and the power was definitely present. How can you go against that 40 year old guy though. I really don't know if you really follow boxing a lot or just wanted that 40 year old guy to lose.

@crwth, there's a lot of Manny's opponent that trash talk him but fail to deliver, you can find a lot of YT videos about it, specially Hatton and his coach back then Mayweather Sr., saying that Manny always do the same moves, but guess what, Manny retire Hatton. And then there's Margarito and Rios calling Manny "Puto", again, Margarito suffers a broken orbital bone at his right eye and Rios crying after his defeat. So moral lesson, don't trash talk that 40 year old dude.

Haha. I do remember that. Underestimating Pacman at it’s finest. Going 40 but can rough up and beat you up  i do agree that the footwork is better and the power is there. I just remember the fight of Manny and Floyd and it was defensive type but they really have patience with each other. More fights.

The good thing i do like with Pacquiao is that he's a humble person even though there are lots of criticisms or underestimation before the fight but he still decide to keep quiet and patient. Yet the results would really be known after the fight. Even after winning this guy do still appreciate opponents performance.
I dont really expect too much for him to win but when hes already on the middle of the ring you can see an old man body is on perfect shape and condition and you will able to see that on his reflexes and reaction times.
Fast and heavy jabs and a good footwork will really be noticed.

Yep, he has been criticised for having a potent left hand, but he has improved his right hand as well. He is very humble but when he is in the ring, he turn into a different animal. Although he won the fight KO/TKO, you can still people bashing Manny and said that Lucas is tailor made for him. Lol. You can't really please everyone.

I also thought of that. Pacman was losing his power so this was a big surprise. But if this fight continued to the 12th round, Matthysse would maybe win the fight over pacquiao just like the recent horne fight. I hope he would show the same thing in his next fights.

Boboy has been with Manny even before Coach enters the picture. If anyone that would really know Manny, its his old buddy Boboy. Maybe its a breathe of fresh air for Manny seeing Boboy training him again so I agree that Boboy has something to do with Manny performing like his old self.

Yeah boboy was actually the one who discovered pacman's ability on the ring. Pacman now atleast realize that he has to slowdown and prove to roach that pacman can still win without him.

Fortune, his strength and conditioning coach already admitted that Manny over trained during the Horn match. Yes, he is aging so the body reacts differently, they made the adjustments and Manny and the result is perfect. And Manny still proves that he can still draw crowds and win belts at age 40.

That is why I have to commend the training team of pacman. Since they realize that they have to make changes for good.

Well we have different views about this since though i didn't expect a ko, i didn't mathysse can bear pacquiao. They're not on the same class if i may say and it clearly showed during the fight. Disregard age, speed and power, pacquiao is head and shoulders when it comes to boxing skills

Manny said to an interview that he can still go up to 3 fights. After the fight against Matthysse, he's already planning about the next fight, no time for him to rest. 

[Kemarit]

I think Manny Pacquiao can still manage to play boxing,

His last fight against Mattysse proves that the can still bang and his straight left is still there, and now he has a new weapon, that awkward uppercut. 

but President Duterte wants Manny Pacquiao to rest, maybe because of his age, but I think Manny Pacquiao still have the energy to fight

LOL. What does the President knows about boxing. I didn't exactly hear what the President says, but maybe he is advising (as a boxing fan) for Manny to quit boxing. But only Manny can decide what's best for him and not even the President can stop him if he wanted to continue with his boxing career.

I don't expect that Manny can still manage to win after his some previous game before.

Do not doubt Pacman. He still proves that can win boxing matches. Its just a matter of who is going to fight him. Crawford? Loma? just bring it on.

It hardly matters, this match didn't even have the hype they tried to create. I did see the first round but didn't find the match too interesting and stopped watching.
Besides this match took place during fifa finals so drawing attention would be hard as people would be celebrating or were already on bed lol

If you are really not interested in the first place then you will really have a hard time to watched the fight, contrary to others who watched it all along. Not all here are FIFA enthusiast so same applied that not all are boxing enthusiast. It's your own view so don't take it as general.

Im seeing 3 fights more too. If he will rest for long then he will be on 45 years for his 3rd match. Yearly span is enough time for rest.

Anyways I think it's better if we stick to the first discussion thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3131239.0

It might be enough for a normal warrior but for him with a lot of things to do, I don't think that its going to be enough as a law maker, coach/basketball player, etc.

OP, can you close this thread so we can stick to the first thread?

Honestly I'm surprised that Manny manage to pull off a stoppage defeat against the younger man. Pacquiao definitely still has a lot of fight left in him, he looked like a young man in there. I don't think that Matthysse was ready for it, probably assumed he would walk over the Pacman and soon realised otherwise being dropped 3 times

Just like many of Manny's opponent, they walk overconfident and thinking that they would walk over Manny. But when they taste his fist, a complete 360 degree happen, we have seen this against Mosley, and after the fight he said that Manny really hits hard and he was surprised by the power. Maybe that's what happen to Lucas Mattysse, he was hit in the first round and you will notice how tentative he became after that.

It is great that our Senator, Manny Pacquiao won the bout by a KO but he is not in the age that he should be the one finding his opponent. He is a great fighter, especially when he is in his prime but he is in the age now that is close to retirement. I don't care if he loses or he wins but he must really be careful since he still has a country to take care of.

After 9 years without any K.O with his fight, it feels so good specially for him to have that kind of fight.

A lot of talks about his retirement, he's not that too old and he's body is still in condition in fact he said that he's still going to fight soon.

What an impressive performance by 39 years old Manny he was going according to plan all rounds very nice this man is a animal and true warrior thats champion mentality really glad that he got his ko after a long time and i think even that if he retire tomorow for sure will be remember as one of the greatest pound for pound boxers of all time

I think it's time for him to retire not just of his old age,but because he has done already great fights inside the boxing arena.His achievements will always be remembered and he will always remain a great model to those who aspire of becoming good boxers too.Maybe by this time,he can focus already on his political side.

I'll quote what Matthysse said.

"My head is raised, I lost to a living legend."

Matthysse: ‘I lost to a great legend’

This only proves that even Pacquiao's opponent is looking up to him and respected him before, during and after the fight.

It's better to stop on talking about his age, Pacquiao's still doing good.

Matthysse is a good guy with great boxing record and its normal that he respect him ....for Pacquiao i mean even if he retire he will be legend ,but their is no doubt that he isnt going good he is in phenomenal shape i can tell you that.I really admire to this guy not only that he is a one of the best and has win world titles in four weight classes he played in profesional Philippine basketball league ,has honorary degree of doctor of humanities,he is a military reservist with the rank of colonel in the reserve force of the Philippine army and the most funny thing is that he got three music albums and hes even in politics

[audaciousbeing]

Round 3: Matthysse gets dropped!An uppercut did the damage. He’s back to his feet as Pacquiao goes for the finish

Round 5: Matthysse just took a knee after getting hit with a shot on the temple. Second knockdown of the fight and the round ends a second later

Round 7: Pacquiao gets marked up, fires off four more punches in return. Vicious uppercut by Pacquiao. Manny remains the aggressor as Matthysse struggles to land the fight-changing power shots. Pacquiao puts Matthysse down for a third time and that’s it! Manny Pacquiao’s first stoppage win in nine years.

Wow this is a good one for Manny after his previous defeat especially the most announced one with Mayweather. I think this will boost his confidence the more because I had initially supported the idea that he should just go and retire as a family man. He has played his part in the boxing world, his country mean loves him, a religious man and wanted to contest for election if my memory serves me right. He has fought a good fight and I feel this is the time to drop the gloves on a win.

Matthysse's comment on losing to a living legend shows some high spirit of sportsmanship which is rare and he should be commended for it as well and a further testament that it's time Manny needs to go home.

Of course his opponent will respect him because the didn't trash talk and you can't hear Manny making (personal) attacks. For him its his fist that will do the talking that's why many boxing fans loves him and his opponents earn his respect. We have heard fighters making nasty comments about his fighting style, but he remains quiet. Also trash talking is also good to bring people to watch the fight but sometimes its better to let your emotions be in the ring. And if you trash talk and can't back it up, I'm sure that the media will have a feast on you.
