Manny Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner

[powerpuncher]

I guess Broner has two sexual assault charges against him now.

People may not like Pacquiaio's stated views about homosexuality or abortion, but last time I checked it was not illegal to have a viewpoint that didn't correspond with that of the snowflake liberal millennial West.

The Philippines are a massively traditional Catholic country, so it's not entirely surprising that a rags to riches Filipino might have those views. I certainly don't see any reason to condemn the guy for having some beliefs, whether I agree with them or not.

Despite what people may think about Pacquiaio's political or ethical views, or indeed what he may or may not be like as a human being .... the guy is a bona fide boxing legend, who has myriad all time great accomplishments in the ring.

Broner, meanwhile, is a story of wasted talent and lack of discipline. Numerous sexual assault changes, all sorts of nasty videos on the internet and a catalogue of unpleasant crimes and convictions.

He tried to be a Floyd Mayweather type 'heel' but never had the talent in the ring to get away with it or to generate any noticeable public interest. He is a bit like Zab Judah in that e had loads of talent, but simply never made much attempt to maximise it.

Sure, Pacquiaio is well and truly on the slide and, sadly, seems to be pretty broke .... but I still hope ha has too much for Broner.

Yeah, it’s just beliefs. Except when the Catholic Church celebrated, supported, and helped carry out the holocaust, just beliefs. Or the Sudan, or Serbia, or now in Africa teaching people not to use condoms telling them they have microscopic holes in them to transmit HIV. Teaching people to get HIV and to die by the millions.. (I’ve personally witnessed this countless times working for doctors without boarders for years) Name a time they weren’t committing genocide and I will tell you the genocide you aren’t aware of apparently. But it’s okay, 50 years after each they will apologize. Or it’s okay because it’s just beliefs.

This post will probably be taken down because it’s rude to question religion but it’s okay to kill by the millions for beliefs. That’s not rude. Beliefs have more value than life and more protection than life.

Pacquiao isn’t some head of a conspiracy though. He is just a puppet. I doubt that Pacquiao is just this evil guy trying to act nice. He just seems like a product of his culture. Just like in most cases, the problem is with the leaders who control the sheep below them because they aren’t smart enough to think for themselves.

Anyone who thinks Floyd is the bad guy between Floyd and Manny has their head in the sand. Floyd is a POS but Manny is a tragedy of horrific proportions to his people.

And the idea he was ever humble is a gross lie. Dude would sit in a room of yes men having one rub his back while he played horrible guitar and sang horrible songs as they watched his horrible TV shows. It’s not hard to find videos of this exact scenario. That is as far from humble as you can get. And all his excuses and lies...not humble.

Floyd and PAC both need to go away and stay away.

I don’t know anything about the Philippines, aside from all the people I’ve met where I live from there are great. I know it’s the main board, but why is he so horrific? I’m sure you’re right, just at work and don’t feel like reading up on his political career.

It’s hard to keep up with all of it. Basically he gets his politics from the Bible so, we’ll, you’ve read the Bible, it’s a horror show. But his support of their President is disgusting. They are literally murdering suspects in crimes by policy. Suspects, not convicted people. By the thousands

With all due respect to X that is such a bullshit post. It's the boxing board so will not dwell to long but the fact is thousands of people have been murdered in the Philippines and Manny has publicly backed it. He is in a position of great privilege and power and rather than speak out he has allied himself to Duerte and claimed the president was anointed by God to discipline the Filipino people. So nobody is claiming that his views on homosexuality or abortion are illegal. The tired and lame ' snowflake millenial liberal west ' thing is a huge misnomer here. Ron whatever you think about him is a respected trainer, not a millenial and having done the relief work he has, hardly needs to be lectured about patronizing non-western countries. Both my kids are millennials but half the stuff atribute to their generation is an anethema to them and most of their friends.

I hope Manny sparks Broner out because Broner is a punk who had he knuckled down could have done much more and Manny like you say inside the ring is a bona fide legend. He is though absolute fair game for criticism when even after admitting using several different drugs as a youngster he invokes God as an excuse to murder people without trial.

Manny Pacquiao criticises Floyd Mayweather's exhibition match as Adrien Broner fight training inensifies

Manny Pacquiao has criticised Floyd Mayweather for fighting Tenshin Nasukawa in a farcical exhibition match that was ‘not good’ for boxing fans.

Pacquiao, who defends his WBA welterweight title against Adrien Broner in Las Vegas on 19 January, had a dig at his rival for staging an exhibition boxing match against a 20-year-old kickboxer.

Nasukawa’s corner threw in the towel inside the first round after Mayweather knocked down the Japanese kickboxing sensation three times on his way to picking up $9m for taking part in the exhibition event.

The fight did not feature on either man’s professional record and Pacquiao was critical of Mayweather’s decision to fight the 20-year-old in Tokyo.

“I won’t do that. If I’m Floyd I wouldn’t do that,” said Pacquiao. “An exhibition match where you just knock him out. That’s not good for the fans.

“My legacy is already there. I want to be an inspiration to the fans and the people not only inside the ring but also outside the ring.”

Pacquiao is training with Freddie Roach at Hollywood’s Wild Card gym ahead of his first since beating Lucas Martin Matthysse in July 2018.

Mayweather and Pacquiao fought in the most lucrative fight of all time in 2015 and the Filipino boxer says he is not concerned about an eagerly anticipated rematch.



“At the age of 40, it’s hard to think about future fights,” he said. “Just one at a time.

“I still have it. God is good.”

Broner is fighting Pacquiao on the back of a draw against Jessie Vargas and a crushing points defeat against Mikey Garcia.

The American, however, is confident he can beat Pacquiao is he gets his shot selection correct.

“It’s proven that you don’t have to throw a lot of punches to beat Manny Pacquiao. You might only have to throw one and that mother f**** can go to sleep,” he told Fight Hype.

“That ain’t a myth, the mother f***** has been asleep before. The most important part of fighting Manny Pacquiao is throwing the right punches at the right time.”

Well said X. Hell of a post.

[Freedom]

Manny and Roman Catholics are not alone - nearly all religions disapprove of homosexuals.

Protestants go by the Old and New Testament passages disapproving of it.

Orthodox Christians likewise strongly disapprove of it.

Islam calls for the death penalty for men who lay with other men.

In Orthodox Judaism condemns it, they believe it's better to die than commit a homosexual act.

In non-Christian, non-Muslim countries like Japan and Korea, it is severely frowned upon.

[Alpha]

I'm just hoping it's a good fight. I think their styles will mesh nicely.
