This content is protected Interesting interview. 1. He's generally okay. Vaseline got into Manny's eye, the eye that previously got scratched, and he's allergic to it. [This explains a lot about why his eyes/face seemed off and he's wincing a lot] 2. He wasn't surprised that Thurman got back up from the KD. He says Thurman is good, strong and really heavy handed, and he didn't want to be overconfident. 3. Fight was difficult, reminded him of Morales 1 fight. 4. He's really getting back to work the next day in Senate, if his doctor gives him the clearance. [LOL] 5. No plans of (of fighting?) yet. His only plan is to rest and get back to working in Senate.
Do people think he looked off? I think he put on a great performance in a high workrate fight against a top WW. His tank held up even at 40
His tank was extremelly suspicious to me. 40 yo and this performance, is not normal. Sorry, I just dont buy. The same way I didnt buy it when he threw 1200 punches vs margo and still could have run a marathon after the fight. Obvious things are obvious, and I'd rather believe my eyes.
He was wincing a lot in the post fight interviews and his eyes/face looked puffy. I thought it was from the punches. Apparently it was allergies too. Kinda like how we thought he was scratching his face quite uncharacteristically vs AB. Apparently he had the flu and that was snot that he was wiping off. LOL. Performance wise, yeah, I'd say he looked like a 40 year old in there. He tired heavily during the middle rounds. On another note, that vaseline getting into his eyes would've been a serious mistake on his cornerman's end.
Maybe I'm paranoid. But I just dont buy it. As I said it is not because of this fight (which seems suspicious to me, though), I have been "cautious" with pacaman since the margo fight. I just cant deny what my eyes see, as I said, I'd rather believe my eyes. I'm not in pacman's wagon I just dont trust him, and it seems that I will never do.
No one would call it paronia to suggest a guy whos fighting for that much money might find anyway to win.
Uh... Pac's stamina is shot and his workrate plummeted after the 6th round. Spence threw over 1,100 punches against Mikey. Where's your suspicion there?
No his workrate did not plummet as you say. 362 vs 324 punches. Other than round 9 when Keith got on his bike Manny's work rate was consistent. He threw literally just as many punches in the last 3 rounds as he did the first 3. Round 4 was an anomaly. His stamina is definitely not what it once was though.
