Can Pacquiao win a rematch?

[QueensburyRules]

- -****** question when nobody wants to fight a stinker to high heaven like Ugh. That was a
3 shell monte pulled by President Stinker Haymon knowing that was gonna be Manny's last fight.

Of course. Will he is another thing. But if he can avoid his legs locking up and has a full camp for Ugas. Things might change drastically. But he’s also older. But he’d have a chance for sure.

What's with you and butts?

Well said...

It was, NEW ENGLAND is a very respectable and diplomatic guy. You on the other hand are still mourning, yet you want Pacquiao to rematch Ugas for your own selfish reasons lol. You were lucky Ugas was not a power puncher but if they rematch Pacquiao gets stopped on his feet. May i interest you in getting behind Vergil Ortiz , he doesn't look too dissimilar from PACQUIAO and he will provide you with some great nights of boxing.......You are welcome

No chance. His footwork has gone now.

[asgarth]

No he cant. He turns 43 years old, clearly lost his legs and his style is overly reliant on his in and out movement.
The ability to move around the ring is one of the first things to diminish the older you get. Pacquiao was incredible flat footed, couldnt even step out of range from ugas right hands.

He also badly lost the last round. So there was no real figuring out of ugas that he could use for the rematch.

I wouldn't count on it.

He's at a point in his career where his physical capabilities will decline with each fight. The leg cramps he complained about will be worse in his next fight.

He's never been one to cut the ring off, he relied on darting into quickly close the distance.

In short, he would get picked apart on the outside. Wouldn't surprise me if he got stopped.

Outside of some partial judges scoring it for him and a puncher's chance no. He never hurt or dropped Ugas like he did Thurman in his previous fight. That is what made all of the difference in this fight.

This was a close but very clear and decisive victory for Yordenis Ugas. Pac, has obviously lost a step now and should really consider pondering retirement.

He is eating way too many clean head shots by naturally slower and heavier opponents due to his advanced age. In addition, he is a lot slower and much easier to hit now too.

Every great fighter has one great performance left in them. Who knows if the Thurman fight was it. If he is able to get the springs in his legs for 12 rounds he can win. When he was able to angle and attack he did well and Ugas would shell up.

Thurman was more shot than Pac was when he challenged him back in 2019; Which is why Pac took the fight in the first place. I don't blame him. Once a fighter reaches his 40s he must able to know which battles to choose.

Keith was nearly knocked out in his first fight back prior to the Manny Pacquiao fight against Josesito Lopez as he was coming off a two year elbow surgery layoff. As a result, both his timing and conditioning suffered because of it.

I think he can do better and maybe get a victory. You can’t fight a Cuban fighter on 2 weeks notice when you’ve been training 8 weeks for a different fighter with a different stance/style and win. It just ain’t happening. If you think about it, manny only had 1 week to adjust to Ugas since the final week is mostly traveling and doing promotional appearances.

So by your account it wasn't a good performance and Pac should not get any credit for it? I never saw Thurman stop trying to win in that fight.
