I though Ugas needed the 12th round to win 115-113. It looks like the more common score was 116-112 for ugas. I felt it was close but it got away from Manny in the second half.

It was an 8-4/7-5 ugas victory type of fight

pacquiao can hold his head high for taking on the highest level of competition at his age.

definitely have concerns he’ll fight on and on until he’s knocked out and hurt. Just has that fighters mentality

8-4 Ugas. Pacquiao is old for his own style now. He missed a lot of thrown punches and just couldn't get out of the way. It could've be 9-3 Ugas.

It couldn’t have gone either way. The only way it could’ve gone was a scoring a round or two more for Ugas

What fight did he watch? Delusional or biased or maybe both

Watching the fight, it was a stretch to even have Pacquiao winning 3-4 rounds.

Donaire, just like Dan Rafael, is scoring based on activity level, and not shots landed! Clean effective punches clearly were from Ugas! Easily 7-5 Ugas! Pac admitted he didn't listen! He might be better with proper rest and recovery, but I think he should move down! I understand chasing "Money" in the WW division, but now, there's plenty of money @ 135-140! That's where I think Manny can still be effective! Tank, Teofimo, or KingRy @ 140 would be BIG paydays!

Pacquiao was great, but after struggling against Ugas, imagine what Spence or Crawford would do. I don't want to see Pacquiao take a very bad beating and then only retire.

Retire, or come back for a rematch even, but rather don't fight a guy like Crawford or a young lion like Ennis.
