You have to give huge credit to Pacquiao.

Manny did a lot better than I thought and he did so fairplay to him and barrios did a lot worse than I thought he would.

You can't get every prediction right, at least I got Dubois getting stopped again right.

I scored it 7-5 Manny.

Pac s best of era for a reason

Pac s best of era for a reason

pac's been fighting for like 2 different era it's unbelievable.

manny looked really bad vs anpo i was expecting him to get KO'd

he looked a lot better and his timing was better, still very declined but better than the anpo fight.

Say what you will about Barrios, but a 46-year old on a 5-year layoff going 12 rounds with a belt holder is fk’n wild. And he came within a hair of winning…Barrios needed to sweep the last 3 rounds just to escape with a draw.

Pretty wild.

Manny may not have anything to prove but he has money to gain. So some days he's been rinsed of a lot of his dough by corrupt people and lost a lot in those political campaigns and whatnot .

No idea to what extent but why else does he wanna fight at this age? I mean I'm sure he enjoys it too but this is money related more than anything.

The only issue Pac had to worry about was his own conditioning
Cherrios was never going to be a threat.
Pac went the distance, kudos, with a pretend champ who "fought" like one.

Had Pac won....then what ?
The least of them "robbed" him.
A step up and it would be curtains for Pac.

manny has been washed for years now but like I always said, his experience is still enough to beat and get him out of harms way against these younger fighters!!

IronDanHamza told y'all!!!! experience > skills

You were right mate. I was wrong. I stand corrected.

Manny Pacquaio is just a one in 10 lifetimes fighter.

I've seen all the modern greats live; Ali, Leonard, Duran, Mayweather, Roy Jones, Emile Griffith, Alexis Arguello, Carlos Monzon, Pernell Whitaker the list goes on and on and on.

Manny Pacquaio could well be the best of all I've seen. I wouldn't argue against it. Blown away by his performance (I scored it a draw but regardless)

[LA_2_Vegas]

I didn't see why Pac couldn't fight the way Tank did against Barrios, lower volume/high efficiency approach. But he did a lot more than expected.


I was shocked with how aggressive he was in the first round.

Ultimately, i think he mismanaged his stamina going into the 10th and couldn't secure the W, but he was definitely in position to win. It looked like he was going to pull away after a strong 9th, but he must have hit a wall.

It was amazing seeing him stand right in there though, his aggressive stance is still so dope to see

Let's not kid ourselves barios is great. But any champ should be beating a 46 year old whose been out of ring g for 4 years with no tune up.
Pac is greater after the bario s fight and today, than he was the moment after he beat thurman at 41years old
