On July 29, 2024, boxing legend Manny Pacquiao made his return to the ring in an exhibition match against Japanese fighter Anpo. However, his performance did not live up to expectations, leading to a wave of criticism from experts and fans alike.
Pacquiao, once known for his power and speed, appeared to have lost his prime form. Throughout the match, he endured numerous punches from his younger and more energetic opponent. This has raised concerns about his health and future in the
sport.
Although Pacquiao had some notable moments, overall, he failed to demonstrate the agility and reflexes that marked his prime. His punches lacked power and accuracy, making it difficult for him to control the fight. Many believe that facing a young
and strong fighter like Anpo was an unwise decision.
One of the most notable moments was when Pacquiao was knocked down by Anpo in the fourth round. Although he managed to get up and continue fighting, his sluggishness and fatigue prevented him from regaining control of the match. The final result was a no-decision, but it was clear that Anpo had the upper hand.
Following the match, many boxing experts expressed concern over Pacquiao’s continued fighting. Some even advised him to ‘stay retired’ and not risk his health. Boxing legend Mike Tyson shared, “Pacquiao has had a great career. He doesn’t need to prove anything anymore. Time has passed, and he should accept that.”
Former boxer Oscar De La Hoya also suggested that Pacquiao reconsider fighting: “I understand Manny’s passion and love for boxing. But sometimes we need to know when to stop. Health is the most important thing.”
Pacquiao’s fans had mixed reactions. Some still support him and believe he can come back stronger. However, many expressed concerns about his health and advised him to retire.
One fan wrote on social media, “Manny has given so much to this sport. He doesn’t need to continue proving anything. We love him and want him to stay healthy.”
Currently, Pacquiao’s future remains uncertain. Will he heed the advice of experts and fans to stay retired, or will he continue to fight to prove himself? Only time will tell.
Regardless, Manny Pacquiao will always be remembered as one of the greatest legends in the world of boxing. His achievements and contributions to the sport will be forever cherished.
