Rounds 11: Thurman won the round.

106-103, Manny.

Thurman was overrated and the betting market knew it.

Try3 was right and Boston Massacre smelled a rat.

Round 12: Fight goes the distance.

Manny finished strongly to win the final round.

Thurman was game but not good enough.

My card shows Manny winning, 116-112.

Jimmy Lennon Jr. is in the ring.

Here we go: Manny wins a split decision.

One judge had the fight 114-114.

Two others scored the fight, 115-112, in favor of Manny Pacquiao.

Bloody elbow had 115 112, I expected at least one rogue judge.

Nothing wrong with Thurman...good fighter just never followed up when he hit Manny flush.

I could have done without Dante Wilder or Joe Goosen on PPV. Goosen a former trainer was adamant Pac Man was washed up.

Are you sure? Joe is the trainer winning world titles with Ruelas brothers, his brother Dan was the promoter.
ok, the other brother a career ticket scalper Gary, he also taught high school in South Central, drove a 500 dollar car and was worth 3 million.

Glenn Feldman had Keith Thurman winning the fight, 114-113.

Birdie was right about the rogue ref.

I am hoping one day boxing cuts the belts & divisions down so the world can follow it better.


Moreover holding a belt don't mean shit when it comes to purse distribution. Pac Man 10 million guaranteed, Thurman 2.5. It's
all about name recognition (PPV) now. Belts can't get you a cup of coffee.

correct , I just want to see 8 divisions and 1 belt for each that's it ...I understand the name means more, but for scheduling the fights , I would like to clean it up in some way where the fighter is not calling the shots. Will it happen ? probably not while I am alive.

In Feldmans case Im guessing it was racist, not anti Filipino , but rather pro black.,
