Lol stfu you crybaby. Manny is brown skinned too.

You're calling someone else a cry baby?

Haha. Genius.

You can't bare anyone pointing out Mexicans picking opponents that are vulnerable or Canelo weakening opponents in many different ways.

Ugas proved me wrong. Thought cramps when i saw the socks but, it would not have made a difference. Curious to see who Ugas fights next.

Let's give that to the old man. He needs his pride as an exiting champion. We all know he isn't at his best anymore (not that he beats ugas back then anyway, but it could've been more interesting).

Manny has an excuses every time he loses

Like I said in another thread, I love Manny, but I really dislike the excuses. It is always a bad look when you make excuses. Always.

Not the first time either. How many other loses had excuses? I know Mayweather was one.

did ugas take the vada testing?

He's enrolled year round.

I agree all the mileage at 42 probably didnt help. Manny just looked old and didnt look explosive.

For real! Big difference compared to two years ago with Thurman

I watched Pacquiao get his legs massaged before the fight and thought of the great Emmanuel Stewart’s reaction when Thomas Hearns got a leg massage before the Hagler fight.

(The talk of the massage starts at 12:55 of the Legendary Nights Episode)

“One of the guys, one of the hanger ons at least, massaged Thomas’ legs down. And when I came up, I ran him out of the room and I knew then we were going to have a major problem. The massage leaves the body spent. So going into the fight, we was worried.”

Of course Pacquiao’s legs cramped. He’s doing something to his legs that Emmanuel Stewart thinks is an awful idea.

This is true. Soft tissue work will actually irritate the muscles and cause an inflammatory response. It’s supposed to promote the healing process, but probably not a good idea right before a bout.

I learned that in physical therapy for my lower back and speaking to the physical therapist.

I believe there’s different methods of massage and I think I have heard or read that there’s a sports massage that will actually energize your muscles. Just a different technique.

Manny was getting his legs massaged? Probably got the wrong technique before the fight.

Either way, Manny is just old! His legs aren’t going to work like they did! Time to hang them up.
