Thanks for sharing! I’ll definitely be participating and of course, I’m picking Pacman to win. It’s free anyway, so no risk at all.

This coming Sunday, everything’s already set on my end. I’ve invited some friends over for drinks and already subscribed to the PPV. No more interruptions this time, the only thing that could ruin it is a blackout, since I still don’t have a power generator.

It appears that the arguments and the discussions for this event is only on Pacman and Barrios, however, this card is very much underestimated because there are other big names that will fight before Pacman vs. Barrios!

There is a championship fight between Sebastian Fundora and Tim Tszyu, this is a rematch where Tszyu was defeated before. Brandon Figueroa will fight and Isaac Cruz. I reckon Figueroa and Pitbull Cruz will have the victory for this. However on Fundora vs. Tim Tszyu, this will be difficult to predict but I reckon Tszyu will get his revenge.

Yes, it will be good to see the rematch between Fundora and Tszyu, although it looks like Tim is also a damage good as he is coming from a big lost and Fundora might close their chapter if he will win and knockout Tim.

As for the Figueroa vs Cruz? I think you got it wrong mate, they are in the different weight class. Although Brandon will be in the undercard, he will be fighting Joet Gonzales at featherweight.

On the other hand, Pitbull Cruz will have his rematch as Angel Fierro at junior welterweight.

Based on the Sportsbet.io contest here on bitcointalk, most people are picking Barrios to win.

I can't find this match on stake, I'm sad that even if I want to bet for Pacquiao on this match, I cannot. I think many doesn't believe in Pacquiao anymore because he has aged already. But I still think that he's got that power in speed although might be slower nowadays. We'll see if the younger caliber is going to win against him or it's still the pride that Pacman has got in winning this fight.

Pacquiao is the huge underdog and so we understand why some bettors will for Barrios to win this fight. I mean he is young and probably in the prime of his boxing years. As compare to Manny, who is old, admit it or not. You can even see the white hair on Manny, a obvious sign for Asian that they are really that old. And I do believed that most Filipinos are going to bet him for sentimental reasons. Nothing to be ashamed to admit that. But it might be very hard for Manny as he is a long shot unless he still possesses that power and speed that will knockout or knockdown Barrios. And this is the only way that Manny can win, test that chin early and then show his footwork and speed and power. But if there will be fans that are not going to beat because they don't know or don't want to bet on Barrios, then maybe they just want to enjoy this fight.

Every time I glance at this topic, I read "Mario Bros" instead of "Mario Barrios."

It's good to see that Pacquiao is confidently stimulated to come back, because he believes that he could still perform despite his age and his long absence from gambling.He has bodly recharged that his boxing speed and power remains active and intact.I'm patiently waiting to see the outcome of this challenge.

Does that mean that he is not 100% percent when he fought Ugas four years ago, and what makes him say that his speed and power remain intact when he is four years older, and a boxer’s body is subject to wear and tear?
I like Pacquiao to win, but my primary concern is that he doesn’t get seriously hurt.

This is not the same Pacquiao we saw ten years ago; there will be a dramatic change in his movement and power, just as we saw in his recent exhibition match against a Japanese opponent.

[Balmain]

Pacquiao is 46 years old, and after a four-year layoff, will he fight at the elite level? How close or distant will we see from his former self in this match? Looking at Pacquiao today, I don't think he can beat Barrios. That's sad, but the current welterweight champion is now too high for him. He believes this bout is both a nostalgic and competitive event for the boxing world. Pacquiao's return is worth everything; thousands will watch this fight just for his return. It's incredible that Pacquiao even steps into the ring at this age.

That is why Manny Pacquioa is x3 odds vs Barrios. Even Pacman stop for 4 years, he never go slow and play different sports and do his routine exercise daily.
Hes been training hard alsoo, its just a less than 48 hours bedfore the fight, we will know the result soon .
A 46 year old guy can still punch and KO some young champs.

I saw his trainings and I am still impressed to him, that's why I have bet for him. This is not a huge bet on my end and so, this is to show support to him. So win or lose, I'm just want to see him back in ring and after this maybe it's now time for him to retire and put the gloves on the cabinet.

Thanks, I also checked again that it was there. I didn't noticed the 'load more'.
I like the odds and typically I usually go for better odds and if the chance is there to win.

Here are the weigh-in, including the undercard, and yes, it's a good undercard that they put up before the Pacquiao vs Barrios.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONO5k9iNQLE

I don't know but what can you say about Manny's physique? It is still the same as before? Seems to be though that his abs is not as defined as it used to be. So maybe that is already a sign of aging.

In any case, good luck to those who have put a bet on Manny as he is a big underdog here.

[btc_angela]

^^ Manny is the heavier of the two in their weigh-in. I think it's the same body as we have seen from him. Maybe some added body fat but still the muscles is still there for me. Now, it's the question of hydration.

and so even if Barrios just weigh 146.2 lbs, he could go heavy and might be weighting 160 lbs in the fight itself as he is the taller of the two. And then Manny just go on like 152 lbs to 154 lbs, that is his heaviest if I'm not mistaken against Antonio Margarito.

Hehehe I did not say Pitbull vs. Brandon Figueroa. I only mentioned them because they are big names for this card I am quite certain the fans will be very happy.

On Fundora vs. Tszyu, you are correct on Tim might be a damaged good already, however, we should also consider that Fundora is not a good boxer for the high level. He is bigger in his weight division but not much boxers respect him for his capabilities. King Ry also wanted to challenge Fundora before because he speculated that he can win.

Even if he retired from Boxing for long years still he has capabilities to pay good trainers to maintain he's health. That's why there's no question about his capabilities since he's Pacquaio the legend after all, but we can't deny the fact that many of his fans are concern about his health especially if it happens that his opponent will hit a fatal shot that can cause him severe damage.

We've seen this happen on some fighters and they didn't able to recover then not able to get back their 100% shape.

So hopefully everyone is safe after this fight, But still I'm still curious to watch how Pacquaio perform on his comeback match so lets just see how it ends up.

I can’t wait for this fight, it’s already happening tomorrow.

Have you guys placed your bets yet? I already locked in mine. I’ve got Pacman winning by decision at 5.10 odds.

I know he’s older now, but if he still has that sharpness, he can definitely win on points.
So there’s probably not going to be a KO, and if it goes to the scorecards, my bet’s got a good shot.

Pacman by Decision is 5.40 right now. It could mean that his chance of winning is declining. We'll never know the outcome you can only hope you win 5x though.

This is not the kind of fight I would participate to bet, anywhere I look at it I think I'd be losing my funds. Pac could win if he still has it just like Iron Mike still has it and Pac probably have it still but the age and Barrios is also a champ.

[Shinpako09]

I watched a video of what Roy Jones Jr. had to say about the fight, and I somewhat agree with him. Also, Boboy seemed to hint in another video that they want to finish the fight as soon as possible, maybe because Pacman is already 46 years old, and it's been four years since his last fight. They probably want to avoid him gassing out. Barrios is still young, and if it comes down to stamina, he could outlast Pacman in that aspect. The odds for Pacman are really high right now, which is very appealing for his fans.

It's a title match so we can't expect Barrios to go easy on him. As much as I want Pacquiao to win since we are from the same country, I doubt he can still move swiftly at his age now and match his opponent.

He may be healthy compared to what a usual 46yrs. old guy but it doesn't mean his stamina is still there especially his opponent is 10 years younger than him.

I'm also not betting now even if I always bet on his previous matches. I'll just watch the game live on tv tomorrow. Let's see if Pacquiao still got the skills to be a title holder.

The odds for Pacman are really high right now, which is very appealing for his fans.

But I don’t think Manny can finish Barrios early. The champ’s tough and durable. I believe Manny’s stamina is still there, so as long as he doesn’t get caught clean, he can go the full 12 rounds and edge it out on the scorecards. For an older fighter, maybe he can still keep some of that speed, but the power? I kinda doubt it’s still like it was back in his prime. Not claiming to be an expert, that’s just how I see it.
