Is Pacquiao making Excuses in his Anpo Fight?

These arent excuses. He's just speaking facts. Dude is huge and gave it everythung in the first 3 rds. Manny has more poise and dealt with this beast with great movement and activity. 45 y old and drastically smaller. Manny is used to going 12 rds. hes smart. he adapts after the first few rds with bigger guys. No way this giy beats paquiao if pac had 12 rds to dominate

This fight are all in japanese advantage or we can call it an unfair fight.. why?

1. Manny already studied suzuki.. but then they changed him to anpo.. where anpo is already studying pacman for this fight. So pacman had to adjust his fighting style learned based on suzuki..

2. Weight and height difference is very obvious + the reach.. where suzuki is almost as same height as pacman..

3. Japan only made it 3 rounds to favor their mma fighter.. why?

3.1 Because a boxer reads his opponents on the first 3 to 4 rounds..

3.2 mma fighters cant fight 10 to 12 rounds.. the boxer will surely win.

3.3 who gets knocked out lost, they stick to this because of all the reasons above.

Manny clearly figured him out in the 3rd with his jarring left uppercuts. Memories of Cotto being figured out in the 3rd round. Pacquiao will wear down and out the 28 year old, hyper fit 6 footer even over 6 rounds. Technique and Power. You see, the GOAT loves all the sweet challenge! No problem!

Bro Manny fought someone who is much bigger than he is, much younger than he is, who was a last minute change so Manny didn't have as much time to study and adjust to a new fighter, and who had all the advantages in how the match was set up, and Manny still fought to a draw. Alhough if it had gone on even another round or two, let alone 12 rounds, no doubt Manny would have won.

Nah he’s telling the truth dudes 6ft with shoes almost 6, 1 manny is 5, 5 and half with shoes shorter arms. I thought it was a draw they both landed bombs great match to watch more action that shakur 😂

You always give a good fight, Manny, that's why you are missed in the boxing world. No fight, without you, can fill the MGM Arena again. It's now different without you!❤

At round 3, Manny already figured him out

[davidyang]

I am not sure how people can judge a boxer with just 3 rounds.
Manny has trained to last 12 rounds for the last 30 years. 😂

The first two rounds looked like he was just warming up.

[seanlintag]

Besides the size difference, one big factor that had affected this fight was the ring itself. Manny or any other boxers were used to fight in such rings which had like a stiffer canvas.

In this fight, the canvas used was for MMA (softer canvas) because prior to the “co-main event” all the fight was under MMA rules including the main event. And Manny’s fight was a boxing exhibition.

Manny known for his small size with fast hands, explosive punches, & excellent footwork wasn’t able to utilize all that. Especially the footwork in my opinion, & Manny generates also his power from his big calves.

But great fight anyway. A lot of actions & highlights from both fighters with a small amount of time given. Definitely action packed.👌

Bigger, younger, stronger,faster,has more reach

[reginosapanta]

Japanese has it all advantage... Taller bigger n younger + MMA fighter only 3 rounder..boxer ussually studying the distance in 1-3 round.. Anpo is bigger like Margarito De la hoya n Mosley..if the round is up to 10 i hope Pacman will be the winner..

[martinkenna]

Not prime manny or even a good manny, but they had it 3 rds for a reason mma guy has the best chance that way. Boxers grow into fights 1st rd or so they have a look usually lose that rd. By 3rd round they have it figured out. If manny had 6 rds i still think he wins as the mma guys adrenaline wears down. Connor mcgregor and floyd was even after 4 then floyd took over.

[TomJJ]

Manny totally took over the fight by the last round. He was close to stopping Anpo in the last 20-30 second of the fight. He made the necessary adjustment and had him worked out midway through the 3rd round.

[migzgabion]

Its just 3 round exhibition match. The guy is bigger, taller and heavier and has all the advantages on that fight. Manny is what, 45 @5'5" and 80kgs past prime and slower that before. What excuses does has to make rather than stating the obvious?

[TheGreatest]

Manny should not be taking any more fights. He should pack it in.

[Alexworld]

This fight was more worth watching than some active fighters now and days !!!

[rcavsmanos]

manny is a good fighter no more argue

[thesmuler]

It’s exhibition duh. Fight for 12 rounds and Anpo would be out of breath by the 8th while and if it is a real boxing match Anpo would get beat up bad or even get knocked out

[robvision]

Next time I want to see Manny fight another 40 year old fighter 😂😅😅 make it a little more fair lol

[mindyu]

What excuses? this guy is a champ for 2 decades!!! He clearly knows what he’s talking about 🧐
