I don't know if he just boasting for the of the game or he just really want to boast for himself, he should respect the 8-division champ a well respected boxer in the whole world. Hmmm, maybe that boasting is kinda effective I am now starting to be excited for the whole fight and waiting for him to be knock out by manny , just kidding. Let's see who will win the game.
Seeing that too, readers are somehow getting engage with that newfound skills, though it may trigger Manny to test if that Jab will be effective and might go beyond the script and see if who's jab will be more effective. Exhibition, though, is really limited, and both sides need to comply with how the contract got signed.
In your last statement, aside from being scripted, I'm more interested in how the game will end than who will the fight. hehehe.
Are judges on this fight will be a celebrity? Not an actual official boxing judge?
If that so, this will really be a pure entertainment and that will make fans to enjoy more the show.
But if those are celebrities, I can't imagine how they will able to score a certain round hehe.
Maybe the chance of going to that route is possible if they are lacking with ticket sales, maybe they will bring celebrities too, but, that's still a good question to ask and the answer will be concluded when the date of the exhibition come up and see who will be those people sitting inside the judge table.
