Congratulations, Manny!!!
You deserved the win!!!
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.
