Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman on July 20

[darklus123]

Did you also see the late round? Haven't you notice that he was slowing in the late rounds and Thurman is hitting more clean shots.
Manny won via SD, but the fight showed he slowed a bit and he does not have a knock out punch against a well condition fighter.

I have noticed it starting from round 4 Pacman really is slowing and it only shows that he is really not getting younger. I know it from the start that pacman  will eventually slows down and will not be able to finish  the fight with some astonishing KO. But comeone dude Thurman is much younger much stronger than pacman he didn't even get a knockdown score to a 40 year old boxer

I agree, Pacman got tired in the later round but Thurman were not able to knock him down.
Actually I was hoping that the fight will end as I was a bit scared that Manny would be knock out in the last round since Thurman is landing some clean shots. But overall, the result is good, Manny won and I think it was fairly judge though some people disagreed with a split decision and they think it should be UD.

Well I was incorrect in my prediction and PACMAN boxed and brawled beautifully to win a controversial Split Decision
I good time to be a Filipino boxng fan or sports fan at all as your Senator is now in control of bigger ppv fights

Controversial? Even Keith Thurman admitted that he was short in winning the fight. There was no uproar on the fans and analyst worldwide that the decision is controversial, so why say that?

There are fans that are shouting out that it's much better if the decision isn't split. But that's it, the fight's over and we've got to see amazing brawl by these two great fighters. The first round did created much impact for the score card. I thought that it will be followed by another knock out but it didn't happened. I'm impressed on how Thurman reacted with that fall because with other fighters, it's already going to make them feel down after falling in the very first round.

That's the beauty of this fight since after the matched both fighters respected each other and give honest opinions about what happened inside the ring, there's no complained with what the judges decisions all went well and both fighters received respects from the fans all around the world.

There is some uncertainty regarding Pacquiao's next fight. Amir Khan was about to fight against Pacquiao on November 8th. Even the venue was confirmed for this fight (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia). Now it looks like Manny has pulled out of the fight. Perhaps he think that he can get a better opponent than Amir Khan, who has remained out of the media limelight for the past 4-5 years.

First, congrats to Manny Pacquiao, truly one the best of all time, all-time-greats.

Second, he said that he will fight next year, he already had two fights this year, so I doubt that he will seek another fight in less than six months.

Third, legacy wise, it is not good for him to fight a past prime Amir Khan, doesn't look at his last fight, he should at least face him like 4-5 years ago, the hype around Amir is not there anymore as well.

The best option for Manny right now, is Errol Spence Jr/Terrence Crawford. If Manny wins either against this two he will cemented legacy and might cemented his status even greater than Floyd Mayweather, IMHO.

You didnt get the point.Its controversial of that split decision which that one of the Judges do make a score-card which is opposing with the other 2
which its clear on whose leading when it comes to point.It might be a close fight but no doubt that Pacquiao do able to pull it out even i do see him struggling
but he showed off that age doesnt matter.

What do you mean controversial split decision mate?Manny beat Thurman truthfully and I guess only few people questioned the win since you can see on Thurman’s face the strength of the left punch by Pacquiao

I good time to be a Filipino boxng fan or sports fan at all as your Senator is now in control of bigger ppv fights

Well he announced that in 2020 there will be another fight to expect from him so basically we’re just breaking for now and wait for another months to enjoy fight again

He got kinda slow in the later rounds. I know he won this but I was wondering how many more fights he'll take before he truly decides to retire (and he had said he will several times in the past already).

Oh my God! I can't believe I actually fall for it.

Can't blame you. I remember one of Pac's losing opponent got hired by a Filipino beer brand for an ad years ago.

Yes, I also saw that he somewhat slow down in the mid rounds but he says that the try not to forced to it because we all know what happened to the Marquez fight. And Thurman was throwing a lot of straight and overhand right hand that caught Manny right now the face.

This is the knock out punch that Marquez threw on him, so he just remain cautious and cruise for a comfortable win. It should be really a UD.

I’ve heard Errol Spence Jr./Terence Crawford to be the exact next that Manny Pacquaio will fight... just some humor & a slight chance to be the next. Actually I don’t know quite yet who are these 2 growing professional boxers. But looking at their record are very impressive and Errol Spence Jr is a southpaw type of boxer also... could he be the next manny pacquiao?

Amir Khan is always hungry to fight Pacman. If I recall correctly, he shows a willingness to fight the PH People's champ prior versus Pacman vs Shane Mosley fight. After that several attempts were being made (not an aggressive though) but still Khan even can't make it to the top priority list. For me, that fight will just be hype because of Pacquaio as always.

The majority wants Pacquaio's next fight against a prime boxer or current titleholder - a boxer that can put Pacman to retirement. For that to happen, MP promotions should just priority those big names. A risk though as rumor boxers on the list is deadly as a champion providing they are currently on the peak.

That 2 boxers are currently a titleholder for different divisions for years now. Too young as usual compare to Pacquaio.

And take note, both have no losses up to this date.

Terence Crawford is one of the dominant boxers today. Him being young and currently on peak has an advantage if ever he will fight Manny Pacquiao.

But I think he is playing safe and dodging any discussions related on his name being brought up as the next Pacquaio's opponent. He never showed an interest to the fight. He is one of the choices before the Thurman fight but just silent. And now that he just saw how Pacquaio gave dirt to the clean record of Keith Thurman, he surely realized that this legend still a big threat even for young boxers.

If Manny will not heed to Mommy D's advise to retire then better fight Mayweather or Khan next, not Crawford or Spence as these guys are not for him because of skills and age. Manny is legendary but fighting Spence or Crawford this time of his career might lead to disaster in terms of medical condition in the future.

We also have to understand that Bud Crawford is under Top Rank. And Bob Arum is known to protect his cash cow, just like he did to Manny Pacquiao before so I don't think Bob is willing to put Crawford vs Pacquiao.

Manny will likely fight on the stable of PBC (Premier Boxing Champions), which has a lot of good welterweight fighters.

Manny will fight on what they think they can beat, there's a news that says Manny's camp prefers to fight Danny Garcia on his next fight.
Well, this is an easy fight against for Manny, I don't see some excitement here, Thurman was a better fighter than Danny Garcia, it's not something that could entertain the crowd, I mean a big crowd, but this is easy Money for Manny.

1. Keith Thurman
2. Danny Garcia
3. Amir Khan
4. Shawn Porter
5. Errol Spence Jr.

Who do you guys think will be Manny facing?. He has the belt right now so guys will be chasing him.

He can face any of the three,, Danny Garcia, Amir Khan, and Shawn Porter, but if Manny want's to scored a knock out, I guess choosing Amir Khan is a good choice although they had a good relationship since IIRC Khan was his sparring mate in the past.

A lot of fighters will be chasing after Manny but I think the person that has the huge chance of facing Manny is Amir Khan but the respond of Mayweather will determine if Manny next fight will be against Amir since Manny have asked for a rematch ever since his fight against Broner but things seems not to be working out.
