    He was way quicker than Rios and i must say that seeing it live does give you a better feel for the movement and tactics..he was very quick when constantly moving away from Rios to his left (Rios left)...i definitely think he would of been a lot quicker and more powerful 4 or 5 years ago....honestly i was not blown away by the speed or power..i was consciously surprised that he didnt seem as fast or powerful as I thought he would...but i dont think this was the Pacman of old and he wasnt throwing crazy shots from crazy angles and zooming in and out like he did in the past

    I see.
    So I was right to assume that he has maybe 1 or 2 fights remaining in him and he SHOULD call it a day.

    Venetian was nice...thanks Bro..something i always wanted to do

    Yeah the first 2 rounds everyone where i was sat was like "oh ****..Pacquaio looks terrible"...but he looked much better as the fight progressed...but yeah probably 75% of his former self.

    Super experience. Thanks for giving us some on the ground input.

    The fact that you were not asked to move would seem to indicate there were an awful lot of people doing the exact same thing you did and makes you wonder just how many $1500 seats were actually sold.

    You get the feeling there is an awful lot of fluff baked into the "numbers" of these fights, especially when they're fought in a place like Macau, which is trying to establish itself as a mecca of sorts in the Far East. Boatloads of money for Macau if it is able to.
