Great fight and Pacquiao was amazing for his age....defying all logic.
Thurman showed tremendous heart and a chin to take all those shots and he got my respect and he also showed class in defeat.
Great ****ing fight and quite savage at times
Respect to the 40 year old Pac who defied the odds and still very humble and respectful in triumph. ATG!
Respect also to Thurman who gave his all and who was humble in defeat.
When I saw Thurman get dropped in the 1st round and hurt to the body in the 10th, I immediately thought Crawford or Spence would have done the same thing, possibly getting him out of there. That version of Thurman wasn’t the same one before the injury when he fought Garcia or Porter.
Or maybe, just maybe, a 40 year old PAC exposed that Thurman isn’t really that good after all or that Porter or Garcia aren’t that good. So I’m not falling for the smoke and mirrors of last nights win. It was a tremendous win for PAC at 40 and adds to his legacy and all time greatness. But Spence and Crawford would have dominated that version of Thurman last night also in more convincing fashion I believe. And I believe both would beat PAC who would be over 40 years old by the time either of those fights are scheduled. Until I see Spence and Crawford not dominate an opponent in the ring, I have to get them the edge over a 40 something year old PAC.
When asked what was next for him Thurman says the athletic commission suspended him for his thumb & a cut in his mouth that requires stitches. Idk how or when that happened but it sounded like what we all pretty figured, he'll probably retire.
Pac is a legend man nothing more to it. He definitely looked his age in the later half of the fight. I know he said he's got at least one more in him, I hope he flattens Khan in either Saudi Arabia or the Philippines and then calls it a day.

I thought Keith's ribs were broken? He said in the post fight interview? His thumb and mouth as well need stitches?
