First time to post here.
I started following boxing when my dad was watching Tyson vs. Briggs, followed by occasional visit to watching it live at Elorde Sports Complex in Paranaque City back in the Philippines.
He does appear to be trending downwards but I'll give him this fight before officially thinking he's done. I mean yeah, he didn't look impressive in either of his last two fights -- yet he notched wins in both. So he deserves some credit.
And who the hell knows. He may catch this mother**ker early with one of his patented hooks and knock that ass the f**k out. And if that happens he's right back in the big picture.
I was thinking the same thing as well. I see the left hook landing because Walters ****s his right hand before throwing, might give Donaire a chance in landing the left hook.
I agree Donaire looks bad in his last 3 fights.
What really impresses me about Pac and gets brownie points is that he came back after being ko'ed. Many great fighters like Meldrick Taylor was never the same after losing to Chavez, and Meldick wasn't even sparked out like Pac was.
The level of fighters Pac has fought since being ko'ed showed me Pac really is that good and deserves all the praise that comes to him. Rios, and Bradley were good enough to question how good Pac is. As far as im concerned Pac has earnt the right after being ko'ed like that, to lose to a nobody as he has nothing left and any tom, dick and harry could take advantage of Pac. But no, to come back from adversity at 35 then you know you've got a special fighter.
Duran did it when he got KO'd by Hearns. It just says that PAC is in that level of being an ATG.
No, Manny should retire if he cannot get a rematch with Mayweather. All his fights in the future will be dangerous because of his age. He could get KO'd if he encounters a hungry young fighter. Also, he fights way different now - became gun shy due to the knockout.
Will always be one of my all time favorite fighter though.
Pac is very fast at 122. He might get out-boxed but when PAC lands that straight left it will be lights out.
I'd still go with PAC because of the speed.
:boxing:
The fight he had with Estrada was good until the later rounds when he got tired and that's when Estrada took advantage of the fight.
I hope he shocks Roman this time.
