Manny - Pacquiao VS Rukiya Anpo Exhibition Match

[Yaunfitda]

This is going to go the way Mayweather vs McGregor went because it's a very similar setup.
We have an MMA fighter vs a retired boxing champion, competing in a boxing match.

That's always been the case though, I mean boxers can't be MMA fighters, but MMA fighter can be boxer because striking is included in their training. What Floyd did is allow McGregor to get tired in this fight because he knows he can't last 5+ rounds and then Floyd go for the kill. Perhaps the same strategy that Manny has in his mind against Suzuki.

I just can't see how Manny could lose this. If it was an MMA fight it would be completely different, but if you're not sure about this check former Suzuki's opponents in MMA. These weren't world class fighters.

But I do agree, we don't see Manny losing this one against a MMA fighter. Maybe is that not old and still much active and even if Suzuki is active, he doesn't have enough time to be pure striker here. And years of experience of Manny under his belt fighting bigger, and heavier fighter, for sure he can get back to the old form and maybe just maybe try to go for a knockout if he is poke by the Japanese and bring out his fire under his belly.

I know that Chihiro Suzuki is a fighter with much less achievements compared to Manny Pacquiao, also Chihiro Suzuki is not a great boxer, that's why it may seem like he is at a big disadvantage and that he can lose quickly , but in my opinion the fact that he is very young and currently active in the fight world, gives him a great advantage in this fight because Manny Pacquiao is 45 years old and has been retired since 2021, if I'm not wrong, that's a lot of years away In intense fights, he may have lost his resistance, he may have lost his techniques, he may have lost his strength and speed in his punches, at most what I think he hasn't lost is his experience in fights. but faced with a young opponent who is not active in the fighting world, I will bet on Chihiro Suzuki to win this fight

Maybe what you meant is striker, as he is a MMA fighter as compare to the great Manny Pacquiao who is a pro-boxer. So Suzuki is already at a disadvantage here because this fight is in a boxing arena and not Octagon. I think that just because he is young, Suzuki has the advantage, Manny is the oldest welterweight and even beat a prime Thurman.

I do agree that he might lost some resistance, but just like any great boxers, he can just be back in the gym for a couple of weeks and his muscle memory is back. So we shouldn't underestimate Manny in this fight, this might be exhibition but the can still punch and his power might still be the same.

People wake up. Pacman is 45 only. People a little bit younger than 45 managed to became boxing champions. This is not about young vs old, this is about professional boxer vs amateur boxer or newbie (since Suzuki did not have any boxing fight experience). When people predicted that 58 yo Tyson would beat young Jake Paul, there is no doubt that Pacman is going to finish Suzuki.

What makes it fun, that on June 23 Suzuki is fighting 45yo mma veteran with 52 pro fights under exhibition boxing rules, and in a month he is fighting Pacman. Lol. Who is this Suzuki? A terminator? A person who dont need recovery after fight? This fight against Pacman is going to be such a staged, fake and made to entertain spectators...

[AliMan]

Manny Pacquiao is back out of retirement and he will be up against a very dangerous opponent Chihiro Suzuki who is RIZIN featherweight champion the fight will be held on July 28 in Saitama, Japan

Suzuki, 13-3 with one no-contest in MMA, is undefeated in his past nine bouts under the RIZIN banner with eight victories. The sole no-contest was originally a submission loss to then-champion Kleber Koike that was automatically overturned due to the Brazilian’s weight miss.

Do you think Manny Pacquiao still has what it takes to fight in the ring, this could be a tune fight to the match awaited Pacquiao - Mayweather2

If we have to compare this young man Suzuki to our legendary fighter Manny Pacquiao, they're both great fighters and when it comes to power I think age is a very interesting part. As person grows older, performance matters most compared the time when they're at young age and based at every analysis and perspectives I think many individuals would prefer picking up choosing Suzuki instead of Pacquiao. They're both the pride of Asia and it could be the most difficult part of every sportsbetting odds now, since the match is a very crucial thing particular when being discussed at so many forums and social media platforms.
Always be updated with their training progress and let's see how this fight would tune in the near future before the scheduled fight commences.

Definitely it's different from Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight where Jake Paul was listed as the heavy favorite because Jake Paul is a rising boxing superstar. here, we can already expect that what Chihiro Suzuki could bring in the ring is only hype, but we know once they will fight it will again be a one sided beatdown, but hopefully Pacman will take it easy, so he could not serioiusly injur Chihiro Suzuki.

Age is just a number of Pacman, he is 45 but he can still fight, I wouldn't even be surprise if he'll come out from retirement and fight in a pro again... But I know Pacman is taking an easy route, this is easy money that is hard to resist.

We can definitely say that its totally different Paul is practicing or trained well his boxing skills so we can really say that he has a match with Tyson.

But for Suzuki we can really say that this is one sided match. The young guy is MMA fighter so provably he's not used to fight using only he's fist there would be an awkward feeling with that compare if you are really a boxing pro which you are settled with boxing fighting style. Also Pacquaio is not easy opponent knowing that he's still capable to knock out any of his opponent. He maintain he's strength and stamina so for sure that Suzuki will have a big problem on their fight night.

[gunhell16]

It looks like this Chichiro is still very young to be able to fight Pacquiao. If it's speed, I'm sure it'll be Chichiro, but in terms of skills and stamina, I'm a bit hesitant about him. I think if I base it on experience, Paquiao will be the only one, and if I base it on strength and stamina, Paquiao will be tested.

Apparently, this Pacquiao's skin is already stretched, and his body doesn't feel the pain of the punches because of the amount and strength of the punches he received from those he fought before. Whereas this Chichiro might look like a punching bag to Manny Paquiao, that's okay; he will still get big price rewards because his opponent is a former world boxer.

This is really that indeed a one sided match on which we do know that when it comes to cross sports then we do know that boxers would really be always have the advantage
since it would really be that still on boxing rules on which it will be understandable. Plus, if we do tend to look at on the records and on the experience then it is really that way too far off.
Since exhibition fights are really just that for fun then when it comes to this manner. It is really just that it will give out that entertainment that fans been seeking.

Seen some small trashtalks from Chihiro suzuki about beating up Manny pacquiao but we do really know on whose really that at advantage on here.
There's no doubt that this would really be just that an easy win but well its just that a 3 rounder.

Unfortunately for him that's all he can do because once they are in the ring, he won't be able to do the talking anymore, it will be MP doing the talking through his action and we might see a knock out here if Chihiro will try to play hero and go for a KO. MP would love to see his opponent engaging in the fight, but since this is just an exhibition fight, he might not give his 100% here but will ensure the win.

And that is the secret of Manny Pacquiao throughout his legendary career. He didn't talk to much, but when the bell rings, and it's between him and his opponent, he will do the talking then using his fist.

We wouldn't forget Ricky Hatton or Antonio Margarito mocking Manny and trainer Freddie Roach. But look at what Pacquiao did to both of this fighters. He ended up their career for good. So it's better for Suzuki to just throw respect on Manny and then hope that he can win the fight.

How can we take Suzuki seriously, if before Pacman fight he has a fight one month before. And not against a trash fighter. He is young, but how can he be sure that he will recover fully in one month only? What if he gets injured or a cut? Or Suzuki thinks that he is so great, that he only need a few week camp to prepare for Pacman? Ridiculous approach. Or their whole fight is already planned to be a joke.

Suzuki timetable probably is following. Monday - fighting Mayweather, Tuesday - fighting Mike Tyson, Wednesday - reading manga, Thursday - saving world together with Power Rangers, Friday - Friday night, family night, Saturday - fighting Godzilla, Sunday - fighting Pacquiao.

This is not a professional fight; Manny might make an exception here. Honestly, I think these exhibition fights could be rigged since promoters cannot make it look like a pro fight that could result in a serious injury to one boxer, as there might be complaints and the government could stop these kinds of fights. They aren't carefully evaluated to determine if both boxers are really capable and fit during the fight compared to the professional fight where all measures are done to ensure that both have the same weight and prepared to fight.

I don't think that the government will step on something like sports, even if this is just a exhibitions fight. Worst we have seen deaths in the ring, but still boxing is a main sport and it can't be just stop by any government or any entity.

For this fight, Manny's extinct will always be a boxer and maybe if he gets hurt or by chance Suzuki somewhat got lucky and slip a punch, maybe we can see the old Manny who's trying to knockout his opponent. In the beginning there might be an exception for him, but when the bell rings, Suzuki might be serious in trying to get a win and so Manny will do everything to not be upset here.

This fight will draw the attention of the world. Just imagine if something happens to one of the boxers; the worst case would be death. Since exhibition fights are becoming popular, where even a non-boxer could fight a boxer, the risks are significant. As of now, there haven't been any serious injuries to a boxer, but when the time comes, I don't know, maybe they would really step in.

I'm just curious, is there any governing body that regulates these exhibition fights? In professional boxing, there are regulatory bodies ensuring all requirements are complied with before a fight happens, but in exhibition fights, they seem more concerned with the promotion of the fight, rather than the preparation of the boxers.

The country's sports commission where the fight will be held in this case Japan, no fight professional or exhibition can be held without a license or a permit it's illegal to do that.
And on your second question, both fighters are professional fighters who know how to condition themselves and both fighters are fully prepared before they get in the ring.
Pacquiao will win this fight the Japanese who is an MMA is just too amateur in boxing that he will have no chance against a legendary boxer like Pacquiao.

Trying out to make some comparison about into their ability and experience then there's no doubt that Pacquiao would really be having the advantage or having the edge on which it would really be that something that not shocking that who would really be winning up this fight. Somehow it wont really be that something serious considering that this is an exhibition fight on where fights would really be just that for the sake of entertainment specially into those boxing fans who are really that liking to see Pacquiao again fighting on the ring, same goes into those fans of Suzuki then it would be great that
they would be seeing him against a legendary fighter but of course they shouldn't really be that expecting that he would really be able to beat Pacquiao.

Yes, in this case it will be the Japanese Boxing Commission who's going to give this fight a green light. And obviously, this is just exhibition and so there are safety nets for this kind of fights, like the weight of the gloves, minutes per round and how many rounds they will be.

But in any case, since this is a boxing match, Manny will have the advantage although I think the Japanese fighters have some pride in them even in exhibition, Suzuki will be the aggressor as he is the younger fighter, but it will be futile as he might awake the monster in Manny here.

Although this is only an exhibition match, i think all the safety measures are in place and i think there are people who are in charge so as to prevent injuries to both fighters.

I don't think that Manny Pacquiao could hurt Suzuki as he is not the Manny Pacquaio that fought Barrera or Cotto anymore, though he still have some moves left but that is not enough to hurt Suzuki and so is the latter, i don't think he could hurt Manny in this fight.

But still, it's boxing and so Suzuki will have to go and fight and try to punch Pacman in the face and we all know that it is going to hurt and so you have to return back. So the intention is still there to hurt the other party and win. Or even Pacman is not going to go full 100%, still at half of it, Suzuki can feel the power of the Pacman here.

At the end of the day though, it's all for the money and for the fans, and if I'm not mistaken, this is Manny's second fight in exhibition and could get the hang of it by not throwing power in his punch to not hurt a less experience boxer in Suzuki

[Baofeng]

There is a change of plans, Suzuki got injured, Lol, and so another Japanese fighter steps up, Rukiya Anpo.

But Suzuki was forced to withdraw after breaking his hand and will be replaced by fellow Japanese mixed martial artist Rukiya Anpo.

https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/6/28/pacquiao-gets-new-opponent-for-japan-exhibition-fight-1654

So I guess Suzuki was really training hard as he breaks his hand. But nothing has change, I think Manny is still going to win this exhibition fight against Anpo. And it could be worst if hasn't train yet.
