Even without that knockdown, Manny still going to win. He almost dominated all rounds except in the later part where is he's tagged by right straight of Thurman. This still a good fight with both fighters not backing down and keep on pounding their gloves on each others face.

That I have to disagree with you and the judges scorecards says it otherwise. Aside from the judge scoring it in favor of Thurman the ones who scored for Manny only has him leading by two or three points which is just 3 rounds where if not for that knockdown like I said may go the other way around. Aside from a very close fight Thurman himself outbox Pacquiao in terms of punches landed where we usually see Pacman land two or three times more against his opponent, Thurman really showed he can fight toe-to-toe against a offensive specialist.

I'm not used to seeing Pacquiao fights to end in split or unanimous decision. Early 2000, we use to bet which round his contender will be knocked out, Manny's hand is indeed weary hands by now that it ended 12 rounds. Congrats to Pacquiao, he has nothing left to prove in boxing. He got it all since he had spend his youth in boxing, he should retire doing it because he is now 40.
But he did knockdown Thurman on the early round,that means his power is still there and not the age will stop him from being a strongest fighter of this generation.and imagine how young Thurman to feel that hard jobs of Manny

But Manny admitted that Thurman throw him good punches and he reacted badly more than twice so this fight is really good and we must be thankful don’t proud

I knew it, Manny Pacman will win the fight!

CONGRATS MANNY "PACMAN" PACQUIAO!!
PROUD TO BE A FILIPINO

Thurman was knocked down in Round 1 so Pacman has a chance to win via split decision even Thurman is a defending champion. Congratulation for those who bet for Manny Pacquiao with a lot of BTC. I win too but it's a small amount of BTC only.  Cheesy

What do you mean Pacquiao has a chance? Thurman is the underdog.

As the casters said, this should not even be a split decision. I agree with them since we are seeing Pacquiao retaliating whenever Thurman make a move. Also, MP owns a lot of rounds, this should not be a split decision, should be a unanimous decision. Any "balato" I can get here? Hahaha. I won against my cousin since I bet a lot to Pacquiao but that is just 500 pesos, like $9-$10

I thought Pacman is the underdog in this fight because Thurman was currently the title holder of WBA welterweight champion. Then after this fight, Pacquiao defeated Keith Thurman via Split Decision and claimed Thurman's WBA (Super) welterweight title. That knocked down in the first round made the split decision in favor of Pacman.

Not the win we want to happen but a win nonetheless. Without that knockdown in the first round I can see the win going on another way because after the first four rounds Thurman showed what he has been showing in his previous fight and thats how to catch up on points. That last three rounds for me sealed the deal for Manny's win and Thurman got really hurt in the 10th round he was lucky he got away with just a beating and not a knockdown. At age 40 and two championship belts in his weight class the announcer is right to call him the “ageless wonder”.

Even without that knockdown, Manny still going to win. He almost dominated all rounds except in the later part where is he's tagged by right straight of Thurman. This still a good fight with both fighters not backing down and keep on pounding their gloves on each others face.

About Mayweather fight? I don't really expect too much maybe this time after manny won the fight he might retire this time now.

If you don't know Manny and Mayweather meet again before this happen is even a thing and I think it may come. Again, Mayweather getting out of his retirement and fighting Manny Pacquiao, fans want it, some analysts think it may come but still we don't know. All I know is that if Manny will be getting up again in the ring, it will be Floyd Mayweather he will be facing.
It's interest many fans and speculators as this rematch will bring a big noise back to the boxing industry, after Manny defeated Thurman it's showed up that he still have something and with the expected fight with Mayweather surely it will again bring more interested fans and gamblers to place their owned opinions and predictions.

That knockdown is a great factor for him to win but if that thing didnt happen i guess thurman would win this fight when it comes to point making.Its a split decision still. Im sure that thurman will ask for a rematch. Im not saying im not happy with manny's win but when it comes to performance he seems too short on his stamina yet he barely make some jabs on last few rounds due to exhaustion but still a win is a win.

I don't think that Thurman will be facing again Manny Pacquiao.

I think the first one is his surprise. Despite the fact that MP is already 40 years old, he was knocked down at the first round. We can all see that smile, like awe to what happened. He can still fight, not the same as in his prime but still, that is amazing. Another thing is that MP is old, and I know before he retires, he wants to fight other fighters like Mayweather. Also, in terms of the KO, I think Thurman will still not win but it will be a draw.
Congratulations Senator Manny Pacquaio for the fight.

Manny seems to be an ageless Filipino boxer. He has always been a stored stamina even in round 12. I assure that Floyd vs Pacman will comeback soon.

For Thurman, it is okay. Atleast, you have measured your innate potential and fighting spirit to battle against a much older and experienced boxer.

Those who bet for Pacman had gained! Congrats to us. 😂
Talking about stamina you can really see the difference when he was still young and we know that he's a senator which means its just normal to see about the decrease of its stamina due to lack of training plus his age but still he able to prove out that age doesn't matter.About mayweather fight?

Congratulations to those who placed their bets when Senator Manny Pacquiao is still the under of this fight.
Thurman at least gracefully took his loss and admitted that Senator Manny Pacquiao is the better boxer on that fight.
As for the rematch, I don't think there will be as Senator Manny Pacquiao has a lot of boxers lined up meet him inside the ring.

You'll never know, maybe Thurman will ask for a rematch knowing that he made badmouthed Pacquiao but he end up losing to him. Thurman underestimated Pacquiao probably because of his age but he forgot that Manny is a great boxer.

Just wow. I did not imagine Pacquiao really winning, I mean I bet on him but that is just amazing. Thurman is also a great fighter, he puts a fight against Pacquiao, a rematch is in the way but I don't think that will be Thurman's but Mayweather's. Floyd is watching the fight, clapping when Manny Pacquiao is entering the ring, any comments of Floyd to Pacquiao about this fight?

Pcquiao wins Rounds 10/11. The only way Thurman can win is if he is able to KO Pacquiao. Now it is 99.99% confirmed that Pacquiao is going to win.
99% win? Im not seeing the same thing. When it comes to points thurman had it and now its already round 12 and the last 2 round scores got by thurman.
Well, as I expected Manny Pacquiao will always win his fight. And now officially PACMAN is still undefeated in his boxing career.

Manny Pacquiao was beaten Keith Thurman by split decision:
Glenn Feldman scores it 114-113 to Thurman,
while Dave Moretti and Tim Cheatham both had it 115-112 for Pacquiao.

Indeed, Congrats to solid PACMAN supporters.

It's over, expect more words will come out from the mouth of the loser (Keith Thurman). Is he will still trash talk Manny Pacquiao after he has beaten up by Manny Pacquiao?

Btw, let's move on about the fight of Manny Pacquiao and Keith Thurman, much interesting the next fight of Manny Pacquiao, who will be then?
A rematch of the 42 years old American and unbeatable Floyd Mayweather? Well, much interesting fight.

I don't think Mayweather is coming back to fight Manny,his long-time manager already said that he is enjoying his life, and no need to do again what he already did best in their first fight, this is the best time for Manny to retire but if he opts for another one a fight anyone between Porter and Spence will be good.

That first round knock down also knock the confidence of Thurman out of the fight. Manny was the faster boxer at the first half of the fight and accumulate those points for the split decision. In fairness to Thurman, he is not a dirty fighter unlike Horn and a strong boxer as he did not go down when the Pacman hit him with the liver shot. Right hook did wonder for Manny on that fight.
Just like what other fighters say, one punch to the face can change how you approach the match. It was smart of Thurman to change his strategy because if he did not, it would not go the distance. Keith landed some good shots too but unlucky for him, Manny still hits harder even in his 40's.

He got aggressive from the 7th round  but it's too late for him as he was already dominated in the first 6 rounds.
Manny deseve the win but he is not as though as he was before, this should be an easy fight for him if he was still younger, I think he needs to retire soon.

I guess we share the same opinion. But what do you expect from someone who will already cross 40 this coming December? I was rooting for Manny in this fight. It was a great fight especially because it has a great opening round. It even made me think that the fight would not last until the 12th round. It didn't. Both fighters are already showing signs of slowing down. Still worth the watch though! Great job to both fighters.

I saw in the post fight interview that Manny praised Thurman, he said he was a heavy puncher and a tough fight.
He said, Thurman can fight, LOL.. Never heard that from his past interview on his past fight.

Clearly we could see in the fight that father time is catching up on Manny and IMO he should retire after that fight, don't give the rematch or he can fight an older fighter than him and that is Floyd, if Mayweather does not want the fight then Manny should hang his gloves for good.

There are still some, well let's say unfinished business to other boxers and he still doesn't want to retire as long as they are not fighting him. The Mayweather is still in there and I don't know what will be MP and his team's decision regarding that.

Manny always accept a challenge and he would want this rematch but I hope it will not happen because I when I saw the Thurman fight, I know it's the opposite of Mayweather's fight.

For now, let's celebrate that he won. A 40-year-old Manny Pacquiao, creating another history in the books.

We can celebrate but we can continue discussing him on his next possible match up.
