[BOXING] Manny Pacquiao vs. DK Yoo

[Ararbermas]

Watch the video of the highlights, I thought the match would be something like an entertainment match to please the crowd but as we can see it really looks like a championship match where Pacquiao literally take it seriously.

Some people think that he already retired and his skills fade immediately, his footsteps and punches is still fast and powerful just like before.

its always a real fight for pacquiao even on his sparring you will never seen him that he just playing and didn't take it seriously..  and Tbh how many times i saw he knocked out his opponent during sparring. 
So it's not surprising, infact as we can see the opponent is huge and tall, so if he didn't took it seriously it's like he put his self in bad situation.

You have watched so many pacquiao fights that you conclude it is just a sparring fight even though he looks serious about hitting the opponent getting the KO victory, so that fight is better than I think for a charity fight because pacquiao still has great boxing performance at such an old age. Even though I've missed watching live fight broadcasts due to focusing on watching UFC, but I've watched the highlight videos so it includes good match viewing and is very entertaining for exhibition fights.

Safe to say that Manny Pacquiao didn't lowered his guard in any given moment and gave a serious fight against DK Yoo, but it is also clear that Manny Pacquiao didn't gave all his strength in this fight because we would've witnessed an exhibition fight that might ended in 2 rounds. Even though the legend didn't gave his all, he still managed to knocked down the South Korean aspiring wanna be, so there's really no need for him to be riled up for nothing because even before the fight commenced, he's already victorious.

Right now, I'm already looking forward to see his next exhibition fight in the Middle East because he is up against his former sparring partner which I know it will be a much interesting fight than this.

Some people think that he already retired and his skills fade immediately, his footsteps and punches is still fast and powerful just like before.

That's what they think but the reality is that he's still got the shape and almost nothing has changed. When someone retires, he wants to come out of it and still have matches. Manny never stopped training and that's why he's still got those punches and footwork.
Maybe it will all change when he stops training himself because whether he's got or no fight, he just continues to train no matter what as it's already part of his life to do it.

Watch the video of the highlights, I thought the match would be something like an entertainment match to please the crowd but as we can see it really looks like a championship match where Pacquiao literally take it seriously.

During the training Manny Pacquiao already told us that he is damn serious about the fight because it will be one of the assessment if he can be able to go back fighting in the professional boxing again.  Though Manny is somehow taking the fight lightly on the first two rounds, he gone serious on the later 5 and six rounds knocking down DK Yoo.  As always Manny Pacquiao never take his opponent lightly, since the first two rounds is sizing up DK Yoo's ability and streangth.

Some people think that he already retired and his skills fade immediately, his footsteps and punches is still fast and powerful just like before.

It seems to be the case and take note, he maybe a bit slow because he put more weight in this fight. But the reflex and strength is no doubt still there.   I think there is one more exhibition match for Manny before he decides to come back or not.

After all, the match is still an exhibition so, there's no need to be harsh.

Pacquiao did a great job, showing to people even if it's just an exhibition match he won't be an easy opponent to the other and as to DK Yoo, he seems like starting to like his career but I see a lot of people whose unsatisfied with what he showed. Although martial arts is really different inside the ring because it hinder their full capabilities to use everything they learned.

It seems like exhibition matches are the new trend these days since they can make someone to fight to whoever they want to be in the ring.

It's a good lesson for those who are planning to do another exhibition match against him. It won't be like a scripted WWE fight. They will get hurt and they could possibly be knocked out if ever they will receive a punch from Manny Pacquiao.
The way he changes his attitude when he is in the boxing ring should be expected. He becomes a different person from that kind and smiling face to a fierce one.
Anyway, this is over and should be locked.
Let's wait if there will be more fighters who want to test his fists.

It is true that martial arts is different when it comes to boxing because the rules are also different, but martial arts is also about speed and to respond well in such attacks by showing how good your reflexes are. And seriously, I didn't saw those attributes to DK Yoo when he was facing Pacquiao recently on the ring and frankly that's the reason why DK Yoo's face is now becoming a meme.

Totally different and if we do really tend out to look for some hint or glimpse of martial arts then it cant really be possible since Yoo is playing around on using Boxing rules which there's no way that it would
really be shown.Even how fast your reflexes are but the ones you are really that in fighting on inside the ring is someone whose been legendary for this sports which theres no way that you could really
beat this man up.The one thing you would definitely notice is the difference when it comes to stamina, we do see that Yoo is already dropping his breath into few rounds while Pacquiao
is just really trying to walk inside the ring without having any efforts, plus we could really see on how those punches been held off obviously just to make the
fight a bit more longer and do at least make up some fight with Yoo.

True, so a martial artist that has different discipline than boxing is fighting at a disadvantage when fighting a boxer in a boxing ruled fight.  Even though DK Yoo is a great martial artist, heavier, and larger than his opponent, DK Yoo is still fighting in a disadvantage.  If these two fighter is fighting in a Mix Martial Arts fight, I doubt Manny could easily win the fight, I even think DK Yoo will win it since he can restrain Manny with everything he has.

Yeah a great lesson to fight Manny Pacquiao, instant fame, instant wealth in exchange of some bruises.  I believe Manny has restrained himself and only release is maximum capability when DK Yoo was KD.

The way he changes his attitude when he is in the boxing ring should be expected. He becomes a different person from that kind and smiling face to a fierce one.

Manny is still smiling during the fight.  Manny didn't give his all until those shots that make DK Yoo knocked down.

Pretty sure that he would really be still considering on having some training but the severity wont really be the same when he's still not retired but now that he had already stopped then it would be lesser but
at least he didnt really that totally stop consider that his body is already looking for it.Even he's that old and retired but he could still kick up some ass. On looking on the recent fight or exhibition
which you could still see that there's still the speed and power but it is really that normal on seeing a dominating fight since he had been fighting a non boxer which
you could really see its difference when it comes to their fight performances.

He'll have lesser fights, professional ones to be specific. But for sure that he'll still get some of the classic matches that fans would want to have but more of them, exhibition matches.
He's an athlete and understands how important for him to be well-balanced in everything and keep his shape on form. Plus being in the right shape gives more focus and a quick way of thinking so that's why he has to.

Maybe because of the difference in the fighting nature, DK Yoo's approach to Pacquiao is not shown.

It's also worth noting that they also fight within Pacquiao's comfort zone which is boxing.

If we changed the situation where Pacquiao will fight DK Yoo in a martial arts fight, the result might have a chance to favor DK Yoo since that is his nature.

Exactly, but of course the exhibition fight will be in boxing because it's more popular, and Pacman is very popular in that sport. Just like Mayweather, he didn't fight in UFC so he continued his dominance against a UFC fighter which is Conor McGregor.

The answer for that is simple, it takes only months for any wrestler, bjj, judo and etc fighter to teach boxing and learn how to knockout with repeated 1-2 combo. But it will take years to teach boxer how to defence and attack in wrestling, bjj and etc. It will only take months to try and test every bjj fighting technique, and then a long process of teaching how to defend and attack on automatics.

Btw, isnt DK Yoo a striker ? He mostly shows punches and kicks. I havent seen him wrestle. Even if he would be allowed to kick or better use low kicks to get distance and attack, I think Manny will find a way to go to close distance and throw his combo bombs.

And the opposite will happen if Mayweather fought McGregor inside the octagon and if that happened, I guess Pretty Boy won't be that pretty anymore as the latter will seriously destroy him inside his comfort zone. Just like what will happen to Manny Pacquiao if he fought DK Yoo in a kickboxing because the Filipino legend is not that used to fight in that certain sport. Anyway, it was nice seeing Manny Pacquiao again inside the ring.

DK is a martial artist, combination of striker, grappler and throws I think.  The kick is a huge advantage over punches, this will keep Manny at bay.  Besides, elbows and knee can also be used by DK Yoo that is way devastating than punches when they get "close and personal" 

In short we had DK Yoo wings clipped while Manny is all free to fly.  Indedd Manny can find ways to get closer  but it would be harder than we think.

I agree, anyone fighting at his comfort zone will show a better performance.  Just like Mayweather and McGregor if it was an MMA fight, I do not think Mayweather will last a round.

This was only an exhibition fight in boxing, so the reason why the rules were in favor of boxing.
It was a charity bout so no big deal with the results but Pacquiao showed his prowess inside the ring even if it was just an exhibition fight.
Definitely, if it is under the protocols of UFC, the outcome may have been different.
Anyway, Pacquiao showed that he was indeed a boxing star on this match, where a lot of people were still waiting for him to fight one more time inside the ring.
So hopefully, he got good amount to help whatever charity organization he was intending to assist with.

In terms of charities, there's always a good portion of his winning money for his sponsor charity venues. Pacquiao is always doing that each time to fight, and now, even it's an exhibition there's always money involve and with the volume or amount we don't have any idea the only sure here is both actors/fighters have their shares for performing inside the ring.

What next for Pacquiao now? If I heard it right, he's working for another exhibition and he will be more active as there are also some interviews where he's also showing interest in coming back in the real boxing ring.

As reported his next fight will be against his former sparring partner Jaber Zayani and it will be held in Saudi Arabia.

MANILA, Philippines—Manny Pacquiao is set for another exhibition fight this time, against his former sparring mate Jaber Zayani in Saudi Arabia next year.

https://sports.inquirer.net/477665/manny-pacquiao-set-for-saudi-exhibition-next-year

So whether we like it or not, Manny will continue this kind of match, not sure though if the next fight will be for the charity again or he will get the full money. In any case, he has been helping many of his countryman specially this Christmas when he comes back to the Philippines after his fight with DK.

It's just going to be a few months away. I think there's no charity involved in this but I'm sure with what he said, whether it's said or not that this exhibition match is for charity.
He's always too generous to give a portion of it to his townsmen, he's got a lot of houses built already out of his pocket and he said that he's not going to stop but will continue this that he has started.
