That judge was corrupt lol. 114-113. The guy lost the most important rounds which are the championship rounds. Rounds 10 through 12.

Stop lying. Round 11 was a CLEAR Thurman round and round twelve was a swing round.

Manny only won round 10 clean in the second half of the fight.

Keith won rounds 7 8 9 11 and maybe 12(swing round). He also won 1 round in the first half of the fight.

That's five or six (depending on the swing round 12) rounds that Thurman won in this fight.

Nevertheless, the split decision was trash, should have been unanimous for Manny.

115 -112 or 114-113. Either way, Manny won.

Manny just moved up the p4p rankings what he did tonight was ridiculous

If manny was black he would already be proclaimed the GOAT but we know how the media works

You're so racist.

George Foreman came out of retirement and won a world title at age 46.

Bernard Hopkins jumped from Middleweight to Light Heavyweight and dominated, becoming unified champion with three belts, at age 48.

They both black and both aren't considered GOAT.

But if Manny was black huh?

Like some have mentioned pac should go to the body. Thurman leaves himself open for body shots.

That body shot in round 10 hurt Thurman real bad.

First and foremost,I would like to congratulate manny pacquiao and his countryman.yall have a phenomenal boxer and champion !!! For only being 5'5"(being 40 yrs old) this guy just isn't a boxer, but an elite athlete. He is in the same category as cristiano Ronaldo , Messi, Kobe, tiger, lebron etc. still performing at the highest level congrats pinoys

Thurman looked like the 40 going-on 41 yr.old tonight. He was -- at numerous times -- getting clowned on by the older, shorter, smaller, aging warrior who has three (3) full career's worth of mileage on his body. I like Keith, and Pacquiao, also, about the same: I think they're both good guys and the pre-fight trash talk from Thurman was really surprising; maybe he was looking to motivate himself since the general consensus was that even this version of Pac-man (in the closing chapters of his career) was the safer bet in this matchup. I thought Thurman would win by late stoppage, but he looked stunned -- physically, of course -- but his facial expressions from about Rd. 3 or 4 onward were not what you'd normally be seeing from a world-class, undefeated, top fighter in his weight class and in his physical prime years. He looked scared and hurt.

How great WAS the Manny of a decade ago? Way, way, way too good for any version of Keith Thurman -- with a stoppage to One-Time most likely the result. How good IS the Manny we saw tonight? Clearly better than this version of Thurman -- which is what a true fan of boxing should care about at the moment. Layoff, or pay off? The layoff is over and at just 30, in his physical prime, I expected more. Maybe we should have expected this, given the Collazo fight (the body shot that he ate badly), the Guerreo fight (Ghost making a strong come back late, even after all that punishment from Keith), and obviously the Josesito near-disaster outcome.

Bud Crawford or Errol Spence? Thurman knows deep down inside that they are on a slightly higher level, at the very least. On the other side of the spectrum, maybe Keith Thurman knows his career will be derailed by either guy -- it's just a shame that the beginning of the end took place in Vegas tonight.

I think you are ready to have Pacquiao ‘s baby. You deserve it. Go and claim your man

These boards aren't for children or chodes. Another idiot who doesn't know how to contribute to a thread.

That body shot in round 10 hurt Thurman real bad.

Thurman said it himself in one of the post interview. He said Pac hit him so hard that he cannot breath so he has to throw his mouthpiece out.

You can tell at that moment Pac was in a severe decline. A young Pac would have finished him at that time.

[Sledgeweather17]

people are making excuses for thurman? gtfoh dude fought a 40 years old manny, if he didn't beat him tonight he was never gonna. inactivity or ring rust has nothing to do with it, manny is just an atg

Mostly I agree with this.

Thurman surprised the way he fought, he didn't come for a running. Manny did great he is only fault were his pauses when he slept and got this jab standing on place and probably he should have started earlier to hunt for this stomach punch instead of hunting his head. Thurman was trying to catch Manny all 12 rounds with a powerful punch so Manny could do the same thing waiting Thurman to come instead of running after him and missing. Again Pacman come to entertain despite harm to his health unlike scumbag Mayweather.
