That was a hell of a dive by Matthysse

Dumb to say, the punch did land on his forehead. Go watch Wlad K. vs. Eddie Chambers and see what a well placed forehead shot can do.

Funny you should mention that fight because the left hook Wlad threw didn't land either. It was much more clear in the Pac-Matthysse fight though. The right hook from Pac at the nine second mark of the 5th round does not land and it is plain as day. You are just blind.

Exactly. He felt Mannys power right away and knew his chances were slim but he didn't come to take a dive and tried until the very end when that jaw crushing uppercut landes. He was throwing some very hard shots in there that Manny just barely slipped. Those shots probably would have caught a more reckless version of Pacquiao. People are just hating because Manny proved a lot of doubters wrong last night and pride is hard to swallow sometimes.

Pac-Man even surprised me, I thought he would win by UD or a TKO in round 11/12, but from round 1 Pac-Man was connecting with fast hard uppercuts and straight lefts, was spooky seeing him turn back the years.

Everything a dive with you guys unless its a brutal KO.

So many posters were saying Teiram took a dive against Matthyse.

Now Matthyse took a dive again Manny.

If its all a conspiracy why watch?



Tim Bradley said he was going to quit in the commentary a few rounds before it happened.

Matty's last opponent looked like he took a dive.

No Dive just a complete Mismatch in Talent and people Burying Pacquiao for dead because he lost to Mayweather and was Robbed by Horn in Australia because of Politics. He still got something left in the tank and I know most are ready to move on to the next generation at Welterweight but Spence Jr, Crawford and the other young 147 fighters it is not just a given that they go out and blow Pacquiao away and knock him into retirement

I'm (was) a huge Mathysse fan and maybe he didn't took a dive , but he did not show up for a fight yesterday or had any intentions of winning . No hearth , he just wanted a final paycheck .

It wasn’t a dive. Manny beat his ass.

You guys are catching highlights because you didn’t have ESPN+ to watch it live, lmao. Pac hit the man the whole fight. Don’t put Matthysse on a pedestal. Pac is a come forward fighter. Matthysse is also. Pac has speed and power that Matthysse had never seen. Fix? Foh lmao. The ref seemed to have mistook Matthysse spitting his mouthpiece out as being done.

No he didn't. He looked like an obscure Thai boxer that had never been in the ring with a decent fighter and then got punched by a world class fighter with extraordinary punching power.

pac hasn't been a come forward fighter for ten years. this is why he got robbed against floyd. everyone expected him to just come forward and when he didnt they said well i guess floyd is winning ignoring that pac was actually landing the much cleaner punches and befuddling floyd who could only land little grazing punches at best.

I think an aged Matthysse was just outclassed by a superior aged opponent in Pacquiao. Having said that Lucas did appear to give up pretty easily. Suspect he knew he didn’t have a shot at winning so he would go home with the cash without risking too much of a beating.
