[Boxing] Manny wins over Matthysse!!

[Finestream]

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.

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.

Right.I've known Manny not just a real fighter in the boxing arena,but also a man with a good heart.I know how he had helped those indigent people who come to knock at their houses and went home with some money onhand.So i guess he is born to be a champion in return of all the goodness he had shown to all the helpless people who comes for him to ask an assistance.

Doesn't seem to matter about experience when elections are simply popularity contests. I mean look how many movie stars, actors, athletes or otherwise have gone into government jobs with absolutely no experience. The world is a joke if you really think about it, beat a few people up, become popular and boom, you're a mayoral candidate!

Manny looked pretty sharp and explosive, good stamina until the end. This makes the dream fight of Pac vs Loma closer. Of course Pac at 135 will have extra difficulties and Loma is just at his peak... too difficult.. but imagine the clusterfuck in boxing world if he pulls a win, would be a perfect retirement match.
Pac vs Crawford also ideal retirement match if he can end Crawfords undefeated record. Floyd rated him the best p2p currently.

It has to be one of these two. I don't want to see a Horn rematch if it has to be the last Pac fight.

I don't think Pacman vs Lomachengko is going to happen. Lomachenko's terms if fight will happen is no catch weight. We all know that Manny's last fights are mostly on catch weight. That's why for the past few years, he never had a good knock down because the challenger is usually bigger and can fight with his weight class.

Just an update about Lucas Matthysse, after his TKO loss on the 7th round with Manny Pacquiao last July 15 at Kuala Lumpur, the former WBA welterweight champion announced that after 11 years of professional boxing, he is hanging the gloves. Lucas Matthysse has a record of 39 wins (36 KOs) and 5 losses.

Last post was July 26 and then bumped today

Fine in my own view if it's still about the topic but this thread is now getting lots of off-topic discussions. Just look at the recent replies here. The fight was over for half a month now.

OP you must closed this thread now or for other users please don't bumped this anymore.

Another interesting note regarding Manny. His (former) manager, Bob Arum is in Manila. I was quite surprised to read the news. Maybe Arum is cooking something for Manny:

Arum Arrives in The Philippines To Meet With Manny Pacquiao

According to several reports in the Philippines, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum has arrived to General Santos City for a face to face meeting with eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao.

Arum is going to talk with Pacquiao regarding his boxing future and obviously to promote his next fight.

Are you looking perhaps for another big money fight for Manny in the US then? Is Bob convinced that Manny has it and the still has the potential to bring people to watch him again in the US?

If I'm in the shoes of Manny. I wouldn't get myself involved with Uncle Bob. Arum already milked Pacquiao and its time for him to make his stance about that. He don't need money fights anymore, yes he can still pull the trigger but it doesn't mean he needs to go on and fight. Nothing for Manny to proved and don't let Arum ruined him before he hang up his gloves.

If Arum is on Philippines to meet manny then theres no doubt that he would really have that motive which he would definitely offer partnerships once again and as you said i dont even see a reason for manny to receive such offer after all these years of milking he can able to stand on his own without any tie-ups but well its still his own decision if he would welcome but for me its too late yet hes already near on the retirement.

Weird though. Why would Arum not be in the side of Manny when he fought Mattysse? That old fart is up to something again and he has the nerves to travel to The Philippines and personally talk to Pacquiao. I sense something in here that it will not favor Pacquiao or even Buboy. That bastard is so f**** greedy, he has the next cash cow already, Terrence Crawford. Is he trying to setup Manny with Crawford then? So that Crawford can sort of carry the torch for Top Rank and legitimize himself as the true and next cash cow? Really wise Arum!!!

OP should change the title of this thread.

Matthyse vs Pacquiao's over as the discussion keeps on going and change it probably to "Boxing discussion".

Anything for money that greedy old man would really make his face thick and wont really be ashamed to visit on manny's homeland even though people do already saw on whats the possible purpose he do have on his visit.

Was supposed to say the same thing earlier but i completely forgot yet the fight is already over and theres nothing to talk about this matter anymore.

Thanks for noticing that as well, if someone can create a new thread for the continuation of the discussion but if OP will notice this and change the title.

That's better.

I would like to see heavyweight boxing become more popular again but the sport lacks any true stars like Mike Tyson or Evander Holyfield.  At least Mayweather helped keep boxing alive with his perfect record but boxing isn't even close in popularity compared to what it was 20-30 years ago.  Now it seems to mostly be about UFC.
