    Canelo and GGG had two great fights. Just because neither had a KD or neither guy got hurt doesn't mean either fight was bad. And honestly, after 24 rounds, its probably 12-12. It's a good rivalry and both fights were fun even if indecisive

    Thurman has a ton of heart and is decent in certain areas, but hes a few levels beneath a Manny Pacquiao. Had this been a 30 year old Manny it wouldve been a 3-4 round TKO blitzkrieg.

    The fight was "fun" because Manny was 40 years old, gassed several times in the fight, yet was still out-classing a prime WW. Prime Manny blitzes Keith like he did Diaz

      Those two fights were good. Not great.

        It felt like a fight you'd have seen at the height of Pac-mania in 2010 or so... the aura around the event was incredible. And it was a ****ing great fight; both guys came to fight, both guys landed big shots, there were multiple changes in momentum, things never got boring.... man. I was rooting for Thurman personally, yet walked away from last night more satisfied as a boxing fan than I've been in YEARS.

        Spence can wait. Let's see a rematch.

        Moving to PBC was the best move Pacquiao could have made.... last night was special.
