    PAC wouldn't have much to gain from it.

    But as a Thurman fan I think he did a good job but could have done better with a few adjustments. Manny really threw him off with that KD in the 1st.

    Was a great fight, Thurman deserve a chance to redeem himself although I can understand why Manny wouldn't take it.

    The flash knockdown saved the fight for Pac. I think if they fought again Thurman would have at least a 50% chance of getting at least a draw and would likely be the favorite. But no real reason for Pac to take a rematch.

    I don't think it saved the fight, it secured the fight. Pacquiao won at least 7 rounds, but the knockdown took away any arguments.

    If a 30 year old can't beat a 40 year old then they don't deserve a rematch.

    Pac needs to move on to bigger and better things....

    I thought Pac won clearly but I think Thurman was in the fight enough that the outcome is reverseable. I'd rather see Pac retire. His stamina is not that it used to be. We saw a glimpse of prime Pac for the first 5 rounds.

    I scored it 6-6 in rounds. I thought the right guy won but I saw the fight as very close.

    Nah, manny fighting Father Time, he can only perform worse, Thurman had his chance and gave a good account of himself, manny should retire and Thurman should move on.

    I think both would have good adjustments to make.
    Manny was looking to mostly counter Thurman, which at times really played into Thurman's hands. And as evident in the later rounds, Manny should definitely target the body more. Thurman kept making Manny miss a lot of head shots and his body is obviously his biggest weakness.

    pretty much spot on, good fight to watch really enjoyed it. Didnt properly score the fight but I can remember Keith taking like 4/5 rounds so yeah the knockdown defo help secure it and avoid any doubt.

    Pac man is just a monster... OK so he is juiced to the gills but to still have that skill set and more importantly the hunger to continue even though he has accomplished so damn much is amazing.

    Was a close competitve fight that I enjoyed.

    It'd be very pointless for Pac at this point. He has one more big fight left in him and it'll probably be vs Spence ending in a Smith vs Hopkins sort of unpleasent farewell.

    it was a fun fight and i enjoyed watching it but thurman has to earn the rematch, if ALOT of people thought he won and it was closer yeh sure but pacs allready agreed to fight khan later this year and hopefully its spence or crawf after that
