Father Time remains undefeated.  I feared we might see this - Manny got old tonight (two year layoff probably didn’t help either).  Happens to all prizefighters, even the All Time Greats.

I had it 8-4 Ugas.  Decision was very fair.  Manny’s footwork was nonexistent and couldn’t create the angles, range and opportunities necessary to get thru his opponent’s very rangy guard.  Like he’s almost always done in the past….  To his credit, Ugas controlled distance and the pocket.  Finished the exchanges and kept slapping Manny with the looping RH to disrupt Pac’s rhythm.  Probably studied the Mayweather fight during preparation.  Floyd followed a similar strategy.

I hope Manny retires (I think he will and if hesitant, Roach and Jinkee will convince him).  Nothing to prove.  Canastota and a probable office in Manila’s Presidential Palace await.

End of an era.  In his prime, he was the modern day Henry Armstrong (with more speed and power).  IMO, among the 10 best P4P fighters of the last 50 yrs.  Always exciting and ducked no-one.  I will miss watching him.
