    Definitely a winnable fight but I think it's time for Pac to hang it up.

    There is nothing sadder than a once great fighter struggling against an opponent he would have had an easy time beating 10 years ago.

    He should take a less dangerous fight as a farewell bout. No use fighting top fighters in his weight at this age.

    Like a floyd rematch.

        If rematch happened, Manny would lose. Doesnt have the tools for Ugas anymore. He should retire.

          I don’t think a rematch with Ugas would sell...

          go back to 140 Pac and retire on your terms.

            Or was this loss just due to the irreversible effects of Father Time?
            There is always a chance but I wouldn’t bet on it. Manny would need to regain the foot speed and explosiveness of necessary to get inside and unleash multi-punch combinations and I don’t see him doing that at 42 years old.

            Also, Ugas’ confidence would be at an all-time high so he would be even tougher to beat now.

              Sure Manny could win but I wouldn't be confident of it. Pac is old and has alot of mileage on his odometer. Pac shouldn't have given excuses for his loss but I don't doubt that his legs cramped and betrayed him. They will probably do the same next time around.

              Ugas is 35 or so but people age differently and he's fighting around the best I've seen him in his career.

                Well given with just 11days to prepare against Ugas. What else he can accomplish other than to overtrain himself. The leg cramp was legit seeing him not jumping around as he usually do. The PBC owed him for that after fvked him big time and Spence magically recovered from his career ending detached retina.

                  Is it possible that Pac could win, yes. Is it probable, NO. Ugas used all his advantages and skills to nullify Manny. Pac barely was able to land much cleanly for any length of time. I really doubt that Pac is going to fight the rematch. It’s unlikely.

                    Ugas knocks him out in a rematch. Now Ugas knows what to expect and how bad Pacman is now.

                      I think there’s a decent possibility of that happening. Ugas seemed to be gunning for that big, looping right hand to Manny’s head all night, and he was connecting a little bit too much for team PAC’s comfort.
