don't get me wrong, hes a great fighter but this was a way closer fight than it should have been especially with a fighter that performed badly in his last fight. He was outworked by thurman as shown on the punch stats

LOOOOL anything this guy does at 40 is nothing short of amazing. Some top fighters get past their best after the first war or loss they’ve had. And this guy got KOed 3 times in his career, had more wars than all current champs combined and has a young man’s style — which in paper should not age gracefully ala wlad, hopkins or floyd— but still here he is beating a champ at 40. If you tell me that 10 years ago i wouldn’t believe anybody.
You’re stupid for making this thread

Pac had Thurman throwing out his mouthpiece after a bodyshot. If Pac was a few years younger, Thurman would've been done in that round. Yeah 40 yr old Pac ran out of gas at the later rounds, wish he would retire, unless he gets the Mayweather rematch.
we're exactly on the same page...cheers!
dude
he ran out of gas! when the hell have we ever seen that of manny?
clearly age is knocking at his door. I would wish he didnt fight again because none of these young guys deserve to have a victory over him... He would destroy them all in his prime...
yes he's still fast and has power but his energy level has drastically dropped.. still a freak of nature though
His high output and energy has been reduced for many years..It's not like shot Mattysse or Broner were guys that would push him to the brink. Manny got hit hard a LOT tonight...You're right...He should hang'em up. He's certainly one of the greatest fighters ever but he's on borrowed time.

What he’s doing at 40 is great, after 70 fights too.
He’s certainly aged but still has enough to beat some very good fighters. I’ve no doubt the time will come soon when his age shows against a very good young fighter and he gets whooped but that’s boxing.
He’s still a very good fighter as it stands
This was a VERY close fight with a very good young, prime champ.....I'm blown away that Pac could even hang with Thurman throughout the fight, but to be that competitive was amazing.....Although Pac took a worse beating than most people realize.....He should really never be in a war like that again. This fight will diminish him for sure!
Pac was fighting angry, was throwing with intent on everything. I would be tired too.
Those body shots thou were viscous.
So Pacquiao at 40 becoming the oldest welterweight champion in history beating a prime elite welterweight at 40 is not impressive?
Like your name, YDKSAB

Pac was walking thru his shots, Pac was throwing alot of power in all his shots and its shows because he tired out at the end. Thurman not dropping from the body shots was insane thou.
