not a lot crediting mannys chin. one KO from those hard solid punches that he took would have totally changed the decision. read somewhere that mannys bone structure is a one godly genetic gift. same wrist size as a heavyweight.

well after u get ko'd as bad as he did, usually more susceptible to being ko'd. thurman has some brutal power. pac took some clean hard shots, didn't seem unphased by them, but def hung in there and recovered, then put it back on thurman.

plus he's 40. he's taken lots of shots. chins usually get worse after this long in the game.

but he looked like a young 30 year old out there lol.

40yr old vs undefeated champ.. vegas favors pacquiao. go manny!

that was a damn good fight.

brutal fight for thurman. nose possibly broken early, head butted on his nose later, knocked down in round 1, wrecked with a massive body shot in round ~9, hit with lots of solid shots.

man o man.. thurman took a body shot in like round 9.. was so bad he spit his own mouth piece out into his glove. held his mouthpiece in his glove and kept boxing. that is nuts. he spit it out bekoz he was just in so much pain. but didnt want to take a knee. crazy

thurman hit pac with some good shots, a few at the end that def hurt pac, but pac came back hard after he took 5-10 seconds to recover.

very impressive fight for pac.. he looked great. still so fast.

another incredible vid.

happy that you and so many others are still on here. i love how we keep the journals going, documenting the highs & lows of training etc, and occasional life stuff.

10 awesome years in this awesome forum , 

just a few months ahead of me. not many people still around from the earliest days. adarq (obviously), joe, you, me, stamos, cowed... i think that's it.

ya hah. 2009 crew is small, but 2010 crew is still pretty close to the start. 2010 crew like scoob, kingfish, gukl, zetz. hope i'm not leaving any1 out.

this remind me of that graduation song from the 90s
"be kind to your knee, you will miss them when they are gone"

yup ^^

basketball players (high school through college) lift now more than ever before.

70's, 80's, and 90's era basketball was some of the toughest around, hardly any of those guys lifted. all they did was hoop.

the "stunt your growth" & "it'll make you slow/tight" stuff was popular for their generations, it isn't now. weight rooms & facilities were hard to come by, now they are everywhere. every athletics program (especially in college) has s&c coaches who make their athletes lift.

lifts aren't magic.

we all know the truth why these guys are getting injured so much. they dont do the proper lifts.

no.
