    Yes, in that case a better title would be

    "Father time finally destroys Pacman!"

    Ugas stuck to the gameplan they obviously devised - disrupt Manny, counter right, jab and body whenever possible.

    But Ugas although winner in my book could have taken much better advantage of Manyy's obvious decline than he did. He played it too safe IMO.

    Do you think that had something to do with Ugas bicep being injured? Maybe Ugas played it more cautious because he wasn't 100%.

    He played it correctly. Manny still has amazing hand speed and carries power and could have still KOd Ugas if he rushed in.

    Pac can still beat C-level fighters but he is done at the top level.

    I don't think so, Ugas fought almost the same way he fought against Porter. Given he lost that on the cards, I figured he would try and make it clearer against Pacman, especially given how frustrated Pac was getting and how much he was falling short.

    But I don't think Ugas has any gears to go through, he is really effective at what he does, but that is all he does and I would have liked to have seen him show more dimensions is all.

    Yes I guess he did at that - I think he maybe could have risked a bit more given the stage he was on to make further big fights by KOing Manny, but maybe just beating Pacman is enough.
