[BOXING] Manny Pacquiao vs. DK Yoo

[PX-Z]

But this one is a different fight. This was all for fun and for charity. We can understand Manny if he's not that relaxed. This is his first exhibition match I think.

Well, if you will research the meaning of "exhibition match" it is all about to entertain the audience and promote the sports ^(boxing).

Now, for a fighter like Manny a knockdown, or KO/TKO in a match is well entertaining match than to use up all the remaining rounds, it might be a short fight since it was stopped after KO/TKO. But again it is well-entertained and its the true essence of boxing ^{(win from KO or TKO)}. For those boxing fans in the stadium, streaming online watching the match, it's an expectation for a fighter like Manny. I won't buy if there's no knockdown or KO in a match while this legend is there in the ring, unless he's matched to a pro boxer with his caliber.

Well, if you will watch the fight, you will know that it was a 6-round fight. It didn't end short. It wasn't stopped by the referee because DK Yoo was knocked out. The whole fight ended up to the last round and the final bell. There were no remaining rounds anymore. The whole fight time was consumed. Manny didn't win by KO or TKO. He won via unanimous decision.

Boxing itself is entertainment already. But boxing for charity is a different kind of entertainment. Of course a KO or TKO could be expected but much lesser compared to a professional fight. You are not there competing for a belt or a professional record. Manny is not even there against a boxer of his level.

It's definitely scripted, Manny could hurt DK Yoo if he would do so, but since it's just for the purpose of entertainment, the main thing that has to be assured is the safety of both boxers, and in this case, it's Yoo's safety because he does not have an experience of becoming a pro boxer.

What if Manny will fight Jake Paul? I think that would be fun to watch, I would still go for Manny winning by KO.

However, we all know what Pacquiao is like, apart from being a great boxer he also has other interests, if he wanted to be a very great politician in his country, that also means that he has a great heart, because I understand that "good politicians" are those who want to help.

Some of the things I didn't know about Pacquiao that happened:

Legendary boxing referee admits to cheating by giving Manny Pacquiao 18-second count

Boxing referee Carlos Padilla has claimed he helped Manny Pacquaio win a famous fight by giving him an astonishing 18-second count.

Padilla enjoyed a great career and is most famed for being the man in the middle for the Thrilla in Manilla between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier.

However one of his most infamous fights came 25 years later when he officiated an up and coming Pacquiao against Nedal Hussein in 2000.

The Filipino was a big name in his home country but was yet to make it Stateside and took on Hussein for the WBC international title.

This is a blow. I didn't know about this thing but if this referee has said it. It might be true but also not true. I haven't seen yet the match of Pacquiao for that year against Nedal.
But if that's something that he has exposed and admitted well, it's on him. Even if he has given the advantage and help for the count for Pacquiao. Still, his other matches that he's got can speak for himself that he's literally a legend and did his best all the way from the bottom to the top.

Yes, indeed this was not Pacquiao's fault, aside from Pacquiao not needing any special help at the time, he himself made his own luck with his own talent, this may or may not be a statement that could have been made up, now at present there are many ways to earn money, we don't know if someone who really wants to see Pacquiao pays it, I consider that envy is such a dirty feeling, almost as if it were stolen, because the energies that some emit are so toxic that it can tarnish Any achievement, obviously those who give away feed on these things, at this point for me this is not relevant, what matters is what is being developed now by the same boxer.

Can't believe Pacman KOed that Yootuber brutally, it doesn't look like an exhibition fight as Pacman exercise his full force to show his KO power. The exhibition that I have in mind is just like Tyson vs Jones who just keeps the pace while maintaining not to crush someone.

Anyway, congrats to Pacman. I see the exhibition gathered a lot of people in Korea. I'm guessing this is the first time they saw this legendary fighter set foot in Korea.

Well, the truth is that I liked how Pacquiao did it, it showed that it is not just an exhibition fight but that it has given a very good taste to everyone who attended, for me it was an impressive fight, if Pacquiao continues with that level he should resume his professional boxing path and thus continue giving those boxing demonstrations in his style, which is something very good, I understand that he does not want to, because now he has another way of thinking, but I think he has more and can do it, Of course, someone would have to convince him, or I don't know if at this point he wants to stay as he is, he is a legend, and we all want to see Pacquioao again in his maximum splendor.

Here are some of the incidents of the fight:

Manny Pacquiao wins on return to boxing ring for charity bout against YouTuber DK Yoo

Philippine boxing great Manny Pacquiao returned to the ring on Sunday for the first time since retiring to take part in an exhibition bout against South Korean YouTuber DK Yoo in Seoul.

The 43-year-old fighter turned politician stepped away from boxing to launch a bid for the Philippine presidency, a bid which ultimately failed. He also served as a senator between 2016 and May this year.

[blockman]

Yeah, he's trying to prolong the match but that's it. Manny will always be Manny Pacquiao and that's what we have to put it kept there.

Exactly, if Pacman would want to end the fight as soon as possible, he could but he didn't as it was just an exhibition match. I mean, come on we did watch a lot of his professional matches and even if he was declared as the loser, people are siding with him and defending that he should be the winner, not only Filipinos but even other nationalities. 

He just gave what the fans want and they were there to watch and to get entertained so Pacman obliged and given that. I've read a quote that he's sure that the money will be delivered and donated to the people of Ukraine.
And then, he's willing to do a charity drive and exhibition match again for his countrymen after making 80+ house that he has donated, he wants to add more on it.

Yeah, obviously he wanted to gave the fans what they wanted in this game and so Pacman just do enough to go look for a knockout but not enough to pull the trigger and let DK Yoo still stand although you can see that he is tired.

This is for charity for Ukraine and his native country. Manny is truly one amazing athlete because he chooses to put his money for a good cause here.

Also show that classic pacman is not there anymore because he is bit slow. Although this is an exhibition match but still I'm not impressed to see how Pacquaio fight, maybe he really need to retire because he is old already and might he will be in danger if he will be taken out by a fighter which is still on his prime.

But still a good gesture has been showed by Pacquaio for sure many of his fans got impressed on what he do.

[TopTort777]

Just to prove how useless and crappy that fight was, Wikipedia hadnt updated fight results for three days already Like people say, if that wasnt an exhibition fight, it would not last more than few rounds.   Despite this was an exhibition fight, by the round 5 Yoo was nearly dead and took extra time before getting off from stool. And they have only 1 year difference (Yoo is younger). It is not like Manny is a fighter and Yoo is just an average Joe. He present himself as an athlete also. Imho, a YouTube warrior that is highly better than average Joe, but still not enough achieve the level of retired pro athlete.

There's the news that I've seen that he wants to fight against Mcgregor and Mayweather and all for charity. I guess we know where this is going and having a show match against DK Yoo was a good start for Manny. I'm guessing that he's starting to like this setup.
Because he's moving freely without any pressure, win or lose, he'll get the money that he'll also allocate to donations and charities while him, having fun with the sport that he's living with.

[Japinat]

It was funny, I didn't expect Manny Pacquiao to be that harsh fighting against a Youtuber. I know DK Yoo has experience as a martial artist but he's really more of a social media personality than a fighter. And Manny Pacquiao was going there as if he's about to face a powerful opponent. It seems Manny still hasn't unlearned his fighting instincts and forgotten for a while that what he's actually into is just an exhibition match for charity. It was good everything remained friendly though.

True, I guess once a warrior always a warrior, Manny seems to be going for a kill here, trying to knockout DK Yoo. So it's hard to unlearn what he has been doing in the ring for more than 20 years. Maybe someone in the corner or in the crowd will have to remind Manny that this is all exhibitions fights and he should not give his 100% to try and knock down a inexperienced boxer. But the good thing is that the referee is there to save DK from the onslaught of Manny and never counts the knockdown. Wonder though was will be the numbers in terms of viewership and how much they raised in this fight.

Manny probably has the same feeling when he's inside the ring wearing his gloves. He will probably feel that strong urge to overpower and punish his opponent. But this one is a different fight. This was all for fun and for charity. We can understand Manny if he's not that relaxed. This is his first exhibition match I think.

I think Manny is guaranteed of at least $5 million. That includes his PPV share. I don't know how much of this will go to charity.

Seems that way, but I know that he's just holding up his strength because his opponent in his 1st exhibition fight was not a boxer. It would be more interesting if he will be facing another retired boxer or at least from MMA who knows a bit of boxing. But a martial artist? Ain't no way that DK Yoo can at least win a single round, and that's indeed what happened.

It lasted for a whole 6 rounds because DK Yoo got some help because if not, DK Yoo would've been already defeated by KO because he was knocked down twice but the referee seems not buying any of that. Anyway, that's just an exhibition fight and there's no use if the fight will be finished much earlier than what is expected.

By the way, I'm now confused about exhibition these fights and its rules because there are certainly judges and Manny Pacquiao was hailed victorious by a way of unanimous decision. What I knew first was that there would be no judges in exhibition bouts because there will be no winner at the end of the bout, but what happened recently was the exact opposite of it.

Just really that a common sense on what would be the result and its clear as day and as an exhibition then it isnt really that surprising anymore on what would be the result.Im just amazed on how
Pacquiao did really hold off his power and speed just to make the show a little bit further or did really finish the remaining rounds.You could really able to see on the big difference
with a real boxer and a non boxer and there's soo much in gap with skills and stamina on which it is really that evident on what would really happen.
In overall it is really just great to see on how these fighters did really do their best on showing us some entertaining fight even if its obvious hehehe.

What I knew first was that there would be no judges in exhibition bouts because there will be no winner at the end of the bout, but what happened recently was the exact opposite of it.

Yes, it was clear the referee wanted DK Yoo to recover a little before letting them fight again. And even Manny himself also held back a little in hurting DK Yoo. There were strong punches but the urge to knock him out was not that strong. It was very obvious Manny could end the fight very early. If that was a professional bout and DK Yoo was his opponent, it would have ended within 3 rounds. But I agree. Since it was an exhibition match, it's better to have it last until the end.

There are actually judges in exhibition matches. There are still winners. I remembered the exhibition match of Tyson and Jones which was judged as split draw.

[TravelMug]

And as far as I can remember, they used the Jones vs Tyson rule here so there is judges who score the fight.

But obviously, Manny is holding some power and let DK Yoo hit him in the face. And there maybe moments in the fight wherein Manny just wanted to knock him out for good.

In the end it was a successful debut for Manny in the exhibition matches and then he is off to the kingdom of Saudi of Arabia for his next fight.

If Manny ended that fight early, no one would fight him anymore in the next exhibition fight. He is just doing his job, the words "exhibition fights" purpose have lived in that fight. Fans are entertained, and everybody was happy because even Yoo lose in that fight, he would still benefit as he becomes more popular, and still makes good money.

So, is there any rumor on who would Manny fight next?

I also haven't heard of social media, and it is not like the boxing fights before, where a lot of posts on social media. I think it's because there are no heated conversations or what. I just saw a video that Yoo is strong (it's a kind of meme video); he does one-hit his opponents, but yes, fights ended early, and both fighters benefit from it. I am hoping for an exhibition fight with Floyd Mayweather, which I am sure anyone would like but not sure about this as the chances that Floyd will fight Pacquiao are too low but still, I am hoping for it.

Yes, Yoo benefited a lot with this fight, having that chance to fight against the legendary Pacman it will bring more traffics to his social media accounts it means that it will bring him more money, his name at hype by after having that chance to go mainstream fighting Manny Pacquiao we don't have the figures but for sure the amount of money that Yoo earned plus the popularity, that is something that really earn him more.

No name yet, maybe they are still in the negotiating part, marketing will be the next thing after that finalized who will be his next opponent.

[dothebeats]

DK Yoo got his ass handed to him. For one, I thought he's going to give this his all but apparently that is still no match for Pacquiao's instincts and fighting form. One good thing about Pacquiao that I noticed over the years is he doesn't hold back if he knows his opponent is a capable fighter, and he enters into the ring as if it might be his last bout so he gives his best shot always. Props to DK Yoo for still going inside the ring with one of the boxing greats. Martial arts and boxing have their different techniques and applications, and DK Yoo, a martial artist, agreeing to a boxing match against one of the goats of the sport, is something remarkable.

[passwordnow]

It's already attached to his name that whenever someone who's overheard his name, there will be a description like, "oh the one that has fought Manny Pacquiao".
It will be like that decision and he's on a win on that one because his presence in this match has brought him more traffic and sound to his name. Even he has lost, still, he's got the benefits of it through online social media presence.

[coin.princess]

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.
