Personally, I think it's a close fight because Thurman in hitting in the 2nd half of the fight, I think we should not question the judges and we should be happy that he won the fight, I can say that it's a hard fight for Manny as Thurman is not backing down like his previous opponents, and with that, he gained respect from Manny.
This is expected for a great fight, we know Thurman has a clean record and this fight makes a first loss for him but we can't question the willingness of Manny to win the title and to inform the world that he is still fit to fight. Manny deserve the win, we saw that and if Manny decides to fight again for sure he will still win the fight, he's still strong at his age right now.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

Yeah, that question hits me as well, but still reasonable as he gave 114-113 in favor of thurman, a one point ahead, that's why the game come up with a split decision with one in favor of him.
Only to give him lesson, is don't make your own result while you still face the enemy in the ring.

I'm with the same race of Manny and wanted to be not biased here. I supported Manny Pacquiao on his fight and bet on him but I think it's a close fight. If they really watch the whole fight, Pacman also received heavy blows on Thurman, that's why it's split decision. Actually, Pacman can lose the fight if he didn't knock out him on the first round of the fight via unanimous decision because Thurman is a title holder.

I could not watching live match because it wasn't available on my local channel tv and only can watching through youtube for the first round when Pacquiao knock out Thurman and apparently after that Pacquiao can dominated almost for every rounds

You should have continue to watch because apparently the fight is close around the middle round and Thurman won some of those rounds.

However, it was not enough though, as Pacquiao shows why he is a 8 division champ and withstand the pressure from Thurman, specially that body shot in 10th if i'm not mistaken.

So congrats for a well deserved win from the fighting senator of the Philippines and all those who bet for Pacquiao.

An 8 division champion vs an undefeated boxer? It's quite a good fight.
I only watch it on facebook live and it gives me goosebump because I'm waiting for Manny Pacquiao to knocked out Thurman. Pacman deserved that win and hoping that he will focus on his job.

He did dominate in the early rounds but in the later rounds it was Thurman, if the fight goes round 15 if possible, LOL.. Pacquiao might loss as he got tired.
The result was a split decision because Thurman was agressive in the 7th round and onward and I think it was judge fairly.
Yeah, the knockdown in the first round gives Pacquiao a huge point on that, and if that never happens I think that Pacquiao might lose. But on the other side, I think Pacquiao just play surely because of what happens in the first round and not aggressively. Anyways good fight and congrats to Manny Pacquiao.

Congratulations, Manny!!!

You deserved the win!!! Wink

A really great fight even though Manny isn't able to knock out Thurman it is a very entertaining fight, in my opinion, Well at first Thurman had thought that he can take Pacquiao more aggressively but after Manny knocks him down he changes pace and the style of his stance was change so sudden after seeing how his fighting style will not work on Pacquiao, But as the fight progresses I guess Thurman had held his own until the last match but he can not outclass Manny Pacquiao with his young age and a far reach but Pacquiao had the experience in fighting Thurman,

So Congratulations to Pacquiao for this win, And I never saw him retire so soon after this victory but again, In my opinion, I think he had shown us more than enough. 

He was able to held his ground because Manny got tired already. A indication that age has caught up with him, or he probably over-trained. Manny proved that he still had the chin, it held against Thurman's best shot. The problem is that he gas out.

I don't think he will retire yet, probably will go back as Senator and do his duties until someone called him up again and says that they are the 'legend killer', lol.

Anyways, the whole Philippines is celebrating and Manny will be waiting for a hero arrival here.

Well apparently Pacquiao is not the type to really hold back from a fight and never gonna hold back when someone challenges him, So he may never retire for the time being his career in boxing If he can still do it he will still fight for the glory of his country, But for me it is really a great time for him to really retire in his boxing career because like you have said there are many young fighters that caught up to his age, But that is his decision to make, And I think he is training his son to be a boxer right now I guess he is preparing for this until his legacy to pass the baton to another champion, But again if he would concede from his boxing career I guess it will be OK for his fan for him to do this And focus more on his government duties.

And congratulations also to those who bet on Pac Man! Grin It was really a good fight. I guess Thurman ate all the trashtalks he gave the fighting Senator before the fight. I guess he really underestimated Pac Man.

Even the hosts find the match favored to Pac Man. One of them (hosts) said that the judge who favored for Thurman was not watching very close, and that the "split decision" was ridiculous. I agree with him on that one. Grin But, after all what's been said and done, we can really see that they both performed well. Job well done for both fighters.

Last match before the main event Figueroa Jr. Vs Ugas.

Not that interesting fight for me to be honest. No offense to their supporters it is just that there are a lot of well, intimate fight, if you know what I mean. My bet is on Ugas, hope he knockouts this undefeated guy so we can move on to the main event. Keith Thurman says he will not let his face touched by Pacquiao, I said he will not be touching it, he will be pummelling it will fast and solid punches, so hyped right now.

Undercard ongoing on right now.

Inson vs Lipinets. I'm on Inson, well the bet is only with my cousin but I am hyped because well, he is one of my countrymen, a Filipino pride. Every minutes are passing and I am getting hyped for the main event.

Edit : Inson was KOed seconds before I posted this. He's still young and I know he will develop more. Round 2 KO by Lipinets.

Even if Inson loses, I still feel good for him as he got paid really high even if he loses the game. That opportunity will surely give him some knowledge and experience to improve his self towards his new fights.

Considering that Lipinets is a very though opponents but it would be more fulfilling if he won the game.

I missed the undercard game since I just got home from work overtime too bad that one Filipino was knocked down but boxing goes that way one must down for the others to stand still

Anyway excited for the final bout and also for my bet with local friends ,this is what we do most of Pacquiao’s fight we are going to one another as friendly gambling and most of the time the winnings will go to Drinking and bar hopping after the fight even who’s the winner still he will pay for all the expenses

Pacman no doubt became the legend boxer in his time up to the present in the entire world.
I saw how his life progress until He reached to became one of a billionaire boxer, and yet He has also have
a successful carrier in politics were He started from congressman now and one of the senators of His country.
Even his opponent is 10 years younger to Him, I think age does not matter and not a big deal. I am pretty
sure majority of the people's bet is for sure goes to Pacquiao fo course.

I definitely agree with your point, Pacman sure is a legend in boxer and he is called that for a reason, Thurman maybe young but age doesn't matter really, what matters most is the skills and strategy once they are in the ring, so it is too early to know whose gonna win but I have faith with Pacman, I just think that his gonna win this fight.

I placed my bet on Pacman but still, we don't know what might happen. Pacquiao undeniably is a great fighter, but Thurman is too and as a proof he is undefeated until now. As I said in some of my posts, this is a challenge for Pacquiao, to determine whether he will be having a rematch, another fight or just hang his gloves.
