Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman on July 20

[jhonjhon]

That knockdown is a great factor for him to win but if that thing didnt happen i guess thurman would win this fight when it comes to point making.Its a split decision still. Im sure that thurman will ask for a rematch. Im not saying im not happy with manny's win but when it comes to performance he seems too short on his stamina yet he barely make some jabs on last few rounds due to exhaustion but still a win is a win.

I don't think that Thurman will be facing again Manny Pacquiao.

I think the first one is his surprise. Despite the fact that MP is already 40 years old, he was knocked down at the first round. We can all see that smile, like awe to what happened. He can still fight, not the same as in his prime but still, that is amazing. Another thing is that MP is old, and I know before he retires, he wants to fight other fighters like Mayweather. Also, in terms of the KO, I think Thurman will still not win but it will be a draw.

You'll never know, maybe Thurman will ask for a rematch knowing that he made badmouthed Pacquiao but he end up losing to him. Thurman underestimated Pacquiao probably because of his age but he forgot that Manny is a great boxer.

Congratulations Senator Manny Pacquaio for the fight.

Manny seems to be an ageless Filipino boxer. He has always been a stored stamina even in round 12. I assure that Floyd vs Pacman will comeback soon.

For Thurman, it is okay. Atleast, you have measured your innate potential and fighting spirit to battle against a much older and experienced boxer.

Those who bet for Pacman had gained! Congrats to us. 😂

[lemipawa]

Congratulations to those who placed their bets when Senator Manny Pacquiao is still the under of this fight.
Thurman at least gracefully took his loss and admitted that Senator Manny Pacquiao is the better boxer on that fight.
As for the rematch, I don't think there will be as Senator Manny Pacquiao has a lot of boxers lined up meet him inside the ring.

Talking about stamina you can really see the difference when he was still young and we know that he's a senator which means its just normal to see about the decrease of its stamina due to lack of training plus his age but still he able to prove out that age doesn't matter.About mayweather fight?
I don't really expect too much maybe this time after manny won the fight he might retire this time now.

[FlightyPouch]

About Mayweather fight? I don't really expect too much maybe this time after manny won the fight he might retire this time now.

If you don't know Manny and Mayweather meet again before this happen is even a thing and I think it may come. Again, Mayweather getting out of his retirement and fighting Manny Pacquiao, fans want it, some analysts think it may come but still we don't know. All I know is that if Manny will be getting up again in the ring, it will be Floyd Mayweather he will be facing.

It's interest many fans and speculators as this rematch will bring a big noise back to the boxing industry, after Manny defeated Thurman it's showed up that he still have something and with the expected fight with Mayweather surely it will again bring more interested fans and gamblers to place their owned opinions and predictions.

Not the win we want to happen but a win nonetheless. Without that knockdown in the first round I can see the win going on another way because after the first four rounds Thurman showed what he has been showing in his previous fight and thats how to catch up on points. That last three rounds for me sealed the deal for Manny's win and Thurman got really hurt in the 10th round he was lucky he got away with just a beating and not a knockdown. At age 40 and two championship belts in his weight class the announcer is right to call him the “ageless wonder”.

Even without that knockdown, Manny still going to win. He almost dominated all rounds except in the later part where is he's tagged by right straight of Thurman. This still a good fight with both fighters not backing down and keep on pounding their gloves on each others face.

[enhu]

I'm not used to seeing Pacquiao fights to end in split or unanimous decision. Early 2000, we use to bet which round his contender will be knocked out, Manny's hand is indeed weary hands by now that it ended 12 rounds. Congrats to Pacquiao, he has nothing left to prove in boxing. He got it all since he had spend his youth in boxing, he should retire doing it because he is now 40.

[finaleshot2016]

I knew it, Manny Pacman will win the fight!

CONGRATS MANNY "PACMAN" PACQUIAO!!

PROUD TO BE A FILIPINO

Thurman was knocked down in Round 1 so Pacman has a chance to win via split decision even Thurman is a defending champion. Congratulation for those who bet for Manny Pacquiao with a lot of BTC. I win too but it's a small amount of BTC only.  

What do you mean Pacquiao has a chance? Thurman is the underdog.

As the casters said, this should not even be a split decision. I agree with them since we are seeing Pacquiao retaliating whenever Thurman make a move. Also, MP owns a lot of rounds, this should not be a split decision, should be a unanimous decision. Any "balato" I can get here? Hahaha. I won against my cousin since I bet a lot to Pacquiao but that is just 500 pesos, like $9-$10

I thought Pacman is the underdog in this fight because Thurman was currently the title holder of WBA welterweight champion. Then after this fight, Pacquiao defeated Keith Thurman via Split Decision and claimed Thurman's WBA (Super) welterweight title. That knocked down in the first round made the split decision in favor of Pacman.

But he did knockdown Thurman on the early round,that means his power is still there and not the age will stop him from being a strongest fighter of this generation.and imagine how young Thurman to feel that hard jobs of Manny

But Manny admitted that Thurman throw him good punches and he reacted badly more than twice so this fight is really good and we must be thankful don’t proud

That I have to disagree with you and the judges scorecards says it otherwise. Aside from the judge scoring it in favor of Thurman the ones who scored for Manny only has him leading by two or three points which is just 3 rounds where if not for that knockdown like I said may go the other way around. Aside from a very close fight Thurman himself outbox Pacquiao in terms of punches landed where we usually see Pacman land two or three times more against his opponent, Thurman really showed he can fight toe-to-toe against a offensive specialist.

Well you need to consider that Manny Pacquiao is fighting top contenders at age 40 you don't expect him to have the same speed and power he has when he was on his prime. If you don't count the TKO of Lucas Matthyse his last true KO win was against Miguel Cotto which was 10 years ago after that you could see him go 12 rounds most of the time. His age is catching up but still he has defeated one of the best in his weight division and I think only a few boxers at his age can prove what he did.

If you're really watching boxing. The scoreboards don't really affect the game even Manny Pacquiao dominates the score. Thurman can win the fight via unanimous decision because he is a defending champion and a holder of the title. Even Thurman landed heavy blows to Pacman that we can say It's a good fight. That's why It's good that Manny Pacquiao knocked down him in round 1 of the fight and win via split decision.

I agree that the knockdown played a big part and also the liver shot in Manny's win. Those who thought Manny dominated the fight should watch it again without sounds.

You'll never know, maybe Thurman will ask for a rematch knowing that he made badmouthed Pacquiao but he end up losing to him. Thurman underestimated Pacquiao probably because of his age but he forgot that Manny is a great boxer.

If you ever saw the post-interview of Thurman, he just said he would be happy to have a rematch with Pacman again in the future. As we can see that Thurman had a greater advantage in the fight 'cause he can flip the scorecard so easily with his advantage in the fight. But on the other hand, i think Pacman is trying to bait Thurman to fight him face to face since he just talks too much in their interview but that doesn't work since Thurman is not too good at offense just like i said before.

And without that knockout on the first round, we all know who will gonna win at the end of that match.

[Fredomago]

I think that the result of this fight is one of those cases when it is professionalism that wins over youth.  Everyone wanted to retire a forty-year-old fighter, which was constantly expressed by observers, which is ordinary in professional sports.  But Ranqiao brilliantly had a duel knocking out an opponent in the first round and this is probably a good opportunity to go on a well-deserved rest at the height of glory.

It's determination to proved that age is not the deciding factor, once a fighter always a fighter not even age Gap have a big difference Manny showed how determinated he was to win over this young Thurman, after this win he's expected to fight again not yet for any retirement talk he loves to still be here so another match to be expect from Pacman.

Age doesn't matter if you're dedicated to your passion, no matter what happens it will lead you to success. I always keep saying that even Manny Pacquiao is very old than Thurman, experiences will be your factors to win the fight. I already watch a lot of fights and concluded the same thing. If you're really gifted in that way, the experience will easily conquer those. Pacman will not give up in boxing, this is the passion he wanted, he gained all of the wealth through this.

Finally it was answered what had become THURMAN's statement before competing, and PACMAN had given a good attitude as a boxer. And also PACMAN won the WBA title from THURMAN.

Yes, to many trash- talk before the fight and see what happen, knockdown in the first round.
 

Age doesn’t matter indeed, that’s what we witnessed in Pacquiao-Thurman fight, this only shows that Pacman still is very passionate in boxing and that he is not only playing for money but he is playing for his passion to boxing. Pacquiao is far more experienced that Thurman that is why Pacman has an edge over Thurman. On the other note, this should teach a lesson to Thurman not to underestimate his opponents because it will only cause him humility.

Yes, indeed that age doesn't matter especially that if you are passionate in your career and also you're right that should teach him a lesson that doesn't underestimate your opponents, especially legends like Pacman.
