I did, it was an even match, barrios was better with his jabs as he should with the 7 inch reach advantage, but manny got the edge with power punches. broadcast crew was kinda biased towards barrios mostly showing his highlights but their own scorecard had pacquiao winning. while a draw result isn't a robbery, I gave the edge to manny. Coming in, I though pac would run out of fuel after 5 rounds because he didn't look impressive in his exhibition match and he's 46 with a lot of mileage (over 70 pro fights), not getting knocked out would've been a win for him. not only he didn't get knocked out, he was actually the aggressor and his timing was still there. post fight barrios's face looked more beaten. This was an embarrassing fight for barrios. he's in his physical prime at 30, holds the belt, and enjoys a massive reach advantage, a 46 y/o inactive fighter had no business going 12 rounds with him. pacquiao was impressive given the circumstance, but dude needs to be smart and direct his focus elsewhere. this was his kobe-like exit. he got nothing left to prove, I don't need to see him die in the ring fighing younger fighters. now watch lebron play until age 46
Great post. I don't want to see him get back in the ring with Barrios. Barrios was star struck and didn't listen to his corner, they kept telling him to quit showing him respect and touching gloves and he didn't listen. I wouldn't mind seeing a Manny/Mayweather sanctioned fight, no exhibition but anything short of that, hang it up.
Tank last weighed in at 135 lbs. Coming from fighting Mike Tyson in the heavyweights to fighting a lightweight is absolute comedy. He want's to break Pacquiao's record of 8-divisions?
What’s with all these “exhibition” matches for this dude? Just become a fucking boxer and fight like you’re supposed to. I guess the answer is he’s making TONS more money this way, but he won’t be taken serious until he does.
This guy isn't even a real fighter. He hasn't fought anyone legit. It's a total joke. I wish Tyson was 30 years younger when he fought him because THAT I would have paid good money to watch.
I mean, this fight is another one where you just can't take Jake Paul seriously. Jake will come in at or over 185 lbs for this fights, I'm sure Tank Davis will come in the heaviest he ever has but the heaviest he ever weighed in before now was 140 lbs. I get it that Jake wants to fight big name fighters and not cruiser weights or light heavy weights who are just prospects like him because if they're guys who have the potential to one day fight for a title they'll knock Jake the fuck out but seriously all of the clown show bullshit needs to stop and he just needs to either go back to fighting other celebrities, getting big name UFC guys huge pay days or actually do what he keeps talking about and start pursuing fights that would in his dream world get him closer to a belt in his weight class. This fight isn't doing that and none of the fights he's taken to this point besides Tommy Fury, Andre August and Ryan Bourland have shown an interest in fighting boxers his size... he lost the Fury fight and he didn't get people watching when he fought those other two guys. All of that said, the fight is on Netflix, Paul's fights usually have really good undercards and Tank can really crack for a 140 pounder... so I will be watching.
Grifters gonna grift, right? I think the guy is a complete chode, but he's getting $$, why put himself in harm's way?
"Exhibition". How much is Jake gonna pay him to make him take a dive like Tyson? I learned my lesson. I swear I will NOT watch this bullshit. We should stop watching worthless exhibition matches.
