The Official: "Pac-Man" Pacquiao vs "Ruthless" Vargas Fight Discussion Thread

[Build That Wall]

u crazy my man

Overall, The correct scorecard should say 115-112 but I wanted to leave it up to one round

I feel like Manny should consider going down to 140 but obviously won't because that's not where the money is at. But man it's amazing to see this 37 year old still fighting at the top level at the 147 division against bigger and taller guys.

Can't believe Smith had vargas winning that many rounds.

I'd rather hear Cristina Poncher calling fights than Smith. He failed miserably tonight IMO.

Gentleman indeed. Tough as nails. I'd love to see a Bradley rematch.

Good call, that would be fun to watch.

vargas has the height and reach on manny. its hard for manny to land anything clean on him. the fact that he came out victorious just shows how good he still is.

really because of the height and reach?! that didnt bother him against margarito or algieri...

people dont give manny enough credit for that. dude takes on taller fighters with 4-5" reach advantage over him. no too many "champs" does this.

i second that

you thought he looked good against algieri? lol.

margarito was a sitting target.

did you not see the part where i said vargas has decent boxing skills?

so you think being at a 4" height/reach disadvantage doesnt play any role in it?

Yeah he really doesnt get enough credit for that. Pacman was never truly a welterweight. His pure talent has allowed him to compete and at one point rule the division but the man should of been fighting at 135-140. It's also crazy how he can still packs a mean punch too at 147 .

Terrence crawford isnt going to beat Manny. Thurman and Brook might get him at 147, Crawford fought scared against Postol. He will get embarrassed against Manny. Also guys, Manny isnt trying to knock people out any more. Regardless of what he says he has no intention of ending a fight early. Stop picking him to KO people.

he even said that he was cautious because he was afraid of getting countered
