[Boxing] Manny wins over Matthysse!!

[Ziskinberg]

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 that if he retire tomorow for sure will be remember as one of the greatest pound for pound boxers of all time

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.

I think this fight is already a good and remarkable one and he can retire anytime if he wishes too because what he had shown to the people is already a big pride for all Filipinos and even citizens from other countries who admire Manny all throughout his fights.But if he can still make it to another fight,then it's his choice also despite of his not so young age.

That last fight proves that Manny retains his strength in boxing. What's good in Manny's attitude is since he is a religious person, he doesn't want to trash talk with other players even they trash talk him. His fists will just answer them. Look at Hatton, he slept on the center of the ring.

I think I agree with him that he can do 2-3 fights more before he retire so that he can focus his job on the Philippines as a senator.

[Wayan_Pedjeng]

The performance put up by Pacquiao was exceptional, if not outright unbelievable. I am not sure whether he will be interested in another bout against Mayweather. But if it happens, then it will be legendary.

[Oasisman]

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

He isn't too old to retire as long as he can manage his physical and mental strength reserve for 2 to 4 more years he's going to be fine.

2 to 4 years would be a perfect range before Manny could finally retire. He showed us that he still got it despite of the devastating loss and age. I agree with the other comment below that there's something different from the new coaching style from his new coach. I hope to see another good fight from him on his next match

Guys the original thread about this fight was already closed by it's OP.

For the OP here, the discussions here are now being off topic. Here we go again with the speculations of MP's next fight and the retirement issues.

The fight was almost a week ago so please locked this thread now or refrain now from posting here. My last post here.

The hype is lasting long. 
I guess it's okay until OP changes the title into "Manny Pacquiao fights speculation".

Yes.His last fight had only shown us that he is still capable of becoming a champion in the boxing arena.He still have the energy that we want to witness when he was still younger than his age right now.I think we can still expect more good fights from him.

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.

Some says that the game was not a real fight. Pacman paid mattysse for sure win but i don’t think that was true. He always give his best to win not for himself and for his family but most importantly for his country. But in my own opinion, he should retire in boxing by now and just enjoy his life with his family and friends and ofcourse with his new career in politics.

[Emitdama]

Pacman won by TKO. He’s now a world champion again. He should have never joined the political world and should have stayed at the boxing ring. At his age, I’m impressed by his performance. Imo, I think he should have retired a long time ago but it looks like he’s still got some energy left. Based from his previous matches, he even got slower as compared to before.

he is already champion for philippines even win or lose in the fight with matthysse now and for me better for him to retired then focus himself in political because he already prove that he can be a inspiration and have everything in life even he start as a poor person then there so many people help by him already like in the foundation that he build and a lot more so he deserve a peaceful life while he help other

Let him play man, he loves to enter in the ring which is his nature now and he can win against his opponent if he try his best. Political life is also a better choice for him but he may like to keep both alive which is now parts of his life. Either Manny wins or Matthysse this will be an interesting match between these two boxers. Prediction is tough but I will choose Manny as my favorite for this match.

OMG!!! Do you believe that crap? If you had watched the entire duration of the match, then you could have never said this. Pacquiao was exceptional during the fight and I am 100% sure that the match was not a rigged one. Let's not take the credit away from him.

Where did you get that news though? Lucas intentionally took a dive so that Pacman will look good again. Lol. Those people who are spreading this lies are more of a the "other" boxing fans. I don't want to drop names here but those two camps have been in wars for the last decade or so. Anyways I don't believed on such crap, Pacman truly won fair and square in the ring and Lucas did his best but he has faced a Legend.

I don't think Manny will do that for the victory. Even he will win or lose, he will get money anyways. I think experience made Manny won the match. Can I ask where did you get that hoax??? Pacman won in the game fair and square and he will not do things like that just to win. Win or lose, Manny will be known as one of the best counter puncher in his division.

I think the OP must change the title of this thread since the fight ended a week ago.

Why change? I think it’s still valid with what happened and he did really win against Matthysse, fair and square. We don’t know what happens behind the scenes but it could really happen but I doubt it that Manny paid, just doesn’t make sense.

[Noilee]

It was an honor watching him box once again, I've heard that he wants to keep on boxing until he can't box anymore, his performance was likewise not like his past fights wherein he showed the quickness and how agile ans deadly he can be in the ring, its not yet the end for Pacquiao, but again it is good news since I won the bet! Thanks Manny!

Its true, and their fight was good, because Manny gives a great punch to Matthysse, because we know already that Manny have a strong punch. In the third round we cant believe it because Matyhesse get Tko already, so its a good sign that Manny wins over Mattyhsse. He is a great boxer in all so its no wonder that he wins.

That's perfect for him to retire if all of the remaining fights he had are all wins.

There are fans that aren't noticing the coaching style but his coach was proud enough to win the game and there's a detailed part when he said that their plan worked.

We may haven't noticed that punch but I guess that's the part of what he's talking about the plan.

The fighting Senator and the Legend of Boxing Manny Pacquiao still have the guts to win a TKO, after 9 years he has still power punch. He now a World Champion again, I think he needs one big fight and win again by TKO and then he must retire after that. Ending a career depending his belt would be a better one.

He's not exactly old... I mean, yes, 39 is relatively old in the sport of boxing, but overall he's not even middle-aged yet. He's still got a few years left in him technically, perhaps even 5-6 years if he's careful. Look at Shannon Briggs, Klitschko etc, these are heavyweights that kept going into their 40s, it should be a lot easier for a welterweight.

[jeremypwr]

I didn't see this match, but it is interesting to note that you don't see  too many threads for specific sports.

I'm guessing it has to do with the obvious fact that there are many Filipino posters here

A great fight show by two champions around the world but Manny is really a great one. I hears in the news that he will still looking for a fight this year maybe in December but I think its too risky for Manny now to fight considerings its health issues.

Pacman won by TKO. He’s now a world champion again. He should have never joined the political world and should have stayed at the boxing ring. At his age, I’m impressed by his performance.

All athletes no matter how good they are need to retire at some point of their career, while I would love to watch Manny fighting forever I prefer that he retires with dignity while he still has some gas left in the tank, also if Manny wants to get in politics that is his decision, I am not from the Philippines but I'm sure he is the most popular athlete there and probably the most known person from that country, so it is likely he has a shot at becoming the president of that country in the future and while many could argue he has no experience the fact that you cannot corrupt him since he is a millionaire already and cares about his country could be enough to do a good job.
