Comments Thread For: Standstill: Manny Pacquiao and Mario Barrios fight to draw

[ippo]

I thought Pacquiao edged it out personally, I can see a draw but not 115-113 for Barrios, and with them saying Barrios needed and won all last 3 rounds that leads me to believe they just robbed Pac...Like dam when will it stop why can't he just get a fair shake? No one cares about Barrios that much he's not that good...

Its Vegas.

I thought Pac edged it.

Rematch incoming?

Sometime rematch > Bumrios 2

Personally, it was good to see manny in the ring but I hope this was it for him. Felt he won but Barrios is the upside for pbc, pacquiao is not. Still pretty dope that a lot of fight fans who had kids in the last ten years got to sit with their sons and see a living legend in action. Not anywhere near what he once was but he gave us some nostalgia for a few rounds there. One thing though, the bitterness with some fight fans is just crazy these days.

They definitely had a milking the rematch in their head. Draw might be a coincidence but I'm very confident the rematch was in plans prior to the fight and a close decision with no KD was the goal.

Barrios sucks but with how much Pac was getting hit he definitely held back from throwing too much, otherwise why stop throwing body shots after Pac showed pain with it?

I mean yeah, but who on this planet was honestly expecting a 46-year old who hasn’t fought in 5 years to look like an elite fighter?

Most dudes in here 40 and beyond have beer guts and couldn’t play a pickup game of basketball at the local rec center without risking a heart attack.

Pacquiao just went 12 rounds with a belt holder and damn near won, lol.

Indeed that's why I give him credit

Embarrassing for Barrios though. Holding a world title belt and couldn't beat a Pac who is approaching 50 and was already badly fading years ago

Pacman did enough to win in my book

Barrios is a great boxer but pacman should have won the fight. It's a great and exciting fight.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Barrios almost lost to 47 years old inactive fighter? Lol. Respect to Manny. I must see the fight.

First time I've read someone say that (the bold)
Will never read that again

Pac won more rounds. That said this was obviously more of an agreed exhibition. Not sure if Manny has money problems or what. But Barrios definitely looked to be holding back. Pac showed fhat he is still athletic and can still fight, he showed some vintage moves and his feet and handspeed are still somewhat intact. His reflexes defensively were bad and as expected he tired alot by the end, though he was obviously in good shape.

It just felt like Barrios got a lifetime payday to not get rough with Pac. And Jesus was Barrios huge compared to Pac. Like a man fighting an 8th grader.

It definitely didn't feel like a real championship fight.
