Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Drops, Bloodies, Decisions Thurman For WBA Title

Damn Split Decision??? One Idiot judge trying to robbed Manny again! I wonder why INCOMPETENT JUDGE continue to get paid!!! Please BAN this these idiots please... It's bad for the sport of boxing!!!

Yea, even Thurman after the fight conceded that he may have lost to Manny especially after the knockdown and said his work rate wasn’t where it should have been. Not sure what that (1) judge was thinking or watching. I can see 115-112 for all (3) judges to be objective scores.

First off I said it a hundred times on this board pac wins . Second this is the worst right call in the history of boxing . This was 8-4 pac easy and how one judge gave Thurman the fight is the biggest , most corrupt thing to ever happen in boxing .

Manny has just wrecked Thurman's career, hopefully in his next fight the PacMan will retire Amir Khan once and for all.

Great win for the Pacman!

I agree. Pac may have won the battle but ultimately may end up losing the war.

This was not even a prime Keith Thurman and I thought he shook and hurt Pac on several occasions tonight. Now just imagine if that was prime Thurman or Crawford or Spence.

I really believe that if Pac was in with those guys he would have been stopped by the amount of punishment he absorbed in this fight. It's just amazing that he can still fight at such a high level even at 40 and a half years old.

Yea age showed in the second half of the fight. The incredible stamina and the ability to throw 100 punches a round while constantly moving has been long gone. He showed flashes of that early, but he almost paid for it in the middle rounds. He should stay the hell away from Spence and Crawford.

If pacquiao can't get a Mayweather fight, then if Porter somehow beats Spence pac should fight Porter then Khan in Saudi Arabia then retire. If Spence wins then pacquiao should fight one of the Garcia then Khan in Saudi Arabia then retire. Been saying cause pacquiao was so elite at level that even falling off slightly at 40 pacquiao still the 3rd best welterweight behind Spence by landslide and arguably Crawford. People take for granted how good a prime pacquiao and Mayweather were. In there prime none of these welterweight could compare cause I really see a Spence or Crawford losing to a prime cotto or even Marquez. Spence might would win or survive cause hes a blown up junior middleweight fighting at 147

Pac won but showed his age further from his last two fights. He's now semi-rapidly eroding but the reason he's still beaten younger guys like Thurman, Broner, and Matthysse is because he was at such a high peak. He doesn't owe it to anyone to fight guys like Spence or Crawford because they are clearly better. He deserves to go out on an easier fight like Khan. I don't even think a Mayweather rematch is necessary.

I’m glad that manny won. But from the looks of these comments like gassing out, not throwing enough punches, getting dominated in a round, etc. Manny needs to retire already. From the looks of it, he cannot hang out with guys like Spence and Crawford. Spence would have been interesting for me but not this version of Pacman in am reading. He’d get brutalized by Spence when he starts gassing. Don’t like to see that

This is what I've been saying.

These new era of welters are overrated!

8 - 5 ???? This ain't 13 rounds man

Pac won 6 rounds plus the knockdown during that time so 6 + 2 = 8 basic math for those with understanding common sense!

Thurman won 4 or 5 rounds tops!
