      Not a big fan of Thurman but he showed a lot of heart tonight. His gameplan was all wrong. Trying to be a bully and an aggressor put him on the canvas. I think a rematch would be even more entertaining and much deserved for Thurman.

        How much PBC/Fox gotta promise Pac to fight Spence? 20m? 25m?

          Pac fans... they see it differently.
          If you scoring it round by round then yes your card is more accurate. Problem with PAC fights is that when he wins a round, he wins it by a landslide and hurts his opponents and when his opponents win rounds, they win it clearly but you know not by a landslide and they don't really hurt him badly.

          This is why casuals will always complain about the scorecards in PAC fights.

            I had Pac winning, but I think it was closer than a lot of people think; and I think I know why. Pac has a tendency to go long stretches in rounds (especially in the middle of the fight) where he doesn't do much. He all but gives these rounds away, save for late round flurries (which look really nice).

            These late round flurries stick out in the minds of some fans and judges and help him steal rounds, but others remember the larger portion of the round when he was very inactive.

              I think Pac's aggressive style could cause problems for Crawford and Crawford is not a natural Welterweight like Thurman.
              Also the fact that Crawford is the pound for pound number 1 (according to many) should give Pacman the motivation for one more great fight.

                  Beating a prime undefeated career welterweight champ at the age of 40 is an extremely solid feather in the cap for The Fighting Senator!

                  Legendary performance from Pacquaio

                  Great fight
                  Yup definitly in the same breath as Robinson, Ali, Duran etc

                    This scorecard shows that you know exactly what you were watching. That's exactly how the fight went.

                    Manny lost rounds 7, 8, 9, 11 clean, and twelve was a swing round.

                    He also lost one out ot the first six rounds.

                    It was a close fight overall just that Manny completely dominates the rounds that he wins because he hurts his opponents in almost all of them, this creates the impression that the overall fight is completely one sided whereas when you score it round by round like you supposed to, the fight evens out.

                    Still, he won the fight fair and square, great performance for the 40-41 year old senator. A true legend of the sport.

                      Keith losing tonight was good for boxing. Got so tired of him talking that, "Spence has to get more popular" "No interest in Crawford" talk. Back of the line..
