LAS VEGAS: Father Time may be undefeated, as the old boxing saying goes, but Manny Pacquiao is not going down without a fight.

The 40-year-old Filipino legend wrote another improbable chapter in his glittering career on Saturday, with an age-defying split decision victory over the hitherto unbeaten Keith Thurman.

"Joe Goossen is an exceptional trainer and he just told me to work from a different direction facing a southpaw. I just made sure to block his punches with my elbows. That was the only adjustment I had to make and it ended up working just fine.

Luis Nery def. Juan Carlos Payano via KO (body shot) in Round 9
Round 1: Payano takes the center first, ad he’s pawing his lead hand out there, gauging the range. Payano takes some wild swings, a big left hand landing at the end, but Nery walks through it. Payano gets Nery up against the ropes, and there may have been a clash of heads. Outside right hook slips through Nery’s guard and lands on the chin. Nery avoids the follow-up one-two from Payano. The round comes to an end without much action, especially from Nery.

Pacquiao battling age, hungry foe in Thurman

By Jun Amigo

The fight between WBA champions Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao and Keith ‘One
Time’ Thurman this weekend promises to be a barn burner. Both boxers
have shown they have the capability to come out victorious, but at the
same time exhibited vulnerabilities that could be exploited by either
boxer. It’s so close that most prominent boxing personalities can’t
definitively decide on a winner. It’s a pick ‘em fight where even the
betting favorites have swung from one fighter to another, initially
placing Pacquiao as the underdog but later installing him as a slight
favorite.

Ellerbe, the chief executive of Mayweather Promotions, told the boxingscene.com website that not even the prospect of another lucrative payday would tempt Mayweather back into the ring.

Mayweather is believed to have earned an estimated $300 million from the points victory over Pacquiao, which remains the most lucrative fight in history and generated more than $600 million revenue.
