MMA vs Boxing. The rules is boxing, Suzuki is no match even if Pacquiao is old he is well rounded in the kind of sport. It is an exhibition fight however. Suzuki doesn't sound famous in MMA.This is the first time I read about Suzuki he is a Rizin promotion champion but Rizin is not as popular as UFC and One Championship so he is unknown to many of us, but checking on his highlights on Youtube.
But this is considered another kind of fight to categorized as with Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul.

Suzuki doesn't sound famous in MMA.Yeah I agree this actually happened once with Mayweather and that knock out artist Japanese kickboxing guy that ended up being knocked down several times because of the fact that they are fighting in favor of Mayweather as the game is not MMA therefore it's totally different thing only similarity is that they punch and clinch. Chihiro on the other hand actually has a good record on his MMA career but I am not convinced he will win against pacquiao not unless he scores a knock out.
But this is considered another kind of fight to categorized as with Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul.
This is just an exhibition match, three minutes in three rounds, but Shihiro Suzuki bows to knock out Manny Pacquiao in round 1. I don't see that he is capable of doing that. Pacquaio may be old, but he is still physically fit. Chihiro is a knockout artist, but this is boxing, and his boxing style is wild. Manny will teach this guy a lesson in boxing.
Manny Pacquiao was slighted upon hearing of Chihiro's intention, but he stated
“Once I hit him, that aggression stops,”

Speaking of Manny Pacquiao, this is a good warm-up for him because a possible world title fight between him and Mario Barrios are in talks already. He will try to get the title in the welterweight division again (where he reigned as the king for many years).I think Manny is over-extending himself at 45. He is good at exhibitions where the rules are not strict, but if it is boxing rules against a young boxer like Barrios, it's a different story.
Would this mean that Pacquiao Vs Mayweather 2 which was announced (well, somewhat) on 31 Dec 2023 is not going to happen?I thought the announcement by Manny was pre-emptive. No fight will ever happen unless it comes from Floyd's camp.
I went straight to crypto bookies to check the odds but I haven't seen one so far. They will probably not feature this fight because it's too short but if one sportsbook is kind enough, it's Manny all day. Hopefully, it won't be as low as 1.01.Would this mean that Pacquiao Vs Mayweather 2 which was announced (well, somewhat) on 31 Dec 2023 is not going to happen?I thought the announcement by Manny was pre-emptive.

But it wasn't just Manny making stuff up or speculating. The president of RIZIN, Nobuyuki Sakakibara, allegedly also confirmed the fight will take place on one of their cards sometime in 2024.
There were multiple mainstream press hits confirming that, so I think it was more than just speculation.
But there's literally zero news or promotion going on right now, so it must've been scrapped.

I can't find any official confirmation on that.
I wouldn't be very surprised if they scrapped it. When they came up with the idea, there wasn't much going on in the boxing world, so making such fight could draw a lot of interest, but a lot has changed since then, and 2024 is packed with many interesting boxing events, so there's much less demand for seeing two retired legends fighting.
But Suzuki was forced to withdraw after breaking his hand and will be replaced by fellow Japanese mixed martial artist Rukiya Anpo.

Who knows, maybe this Rukiya can give Pacquiao a good test as compare to Suzuki. So that fight is still a go for us boxing fans. But it will all be the same outcome as Manny will dominate this fight and maybe next we can see him and Floyd for the biggest exhibition fight.

Yeah I see it like that as well. In mix martial arts everything needs to be fast as it only has few minutes until it will end but in boxing you need to be tough to atleast survive the next rounds and they are also fighting in favor of Pacquiao since it is what his sport he used to play so I think that was one of Manny's advantage though I don't have any idea about the new Japanese contender but I hope they will make fans enjoy their show.I posted this on the other community,QuoteBut Suzuki was forced to withdraw after breaking his hand and will be replaced by fellow Japanese mixed martial artist Rukiya Anpo.

Thanks for the update. I don't think it'll make much difference to Many, unless there's some significant size difference between those two Japanese. I'm not familiar with any of them, but if it's a match under pure boxing rules and in a full-size gloves, Pacquiao, despite his age, shouldn't have much trouble in showing his dominance.

I think it does not matter if Manny Pacquiao opponent is bigger, smaller, heavier, lighter as this is an exhibition fight they are having. Opponents want to show their skills, and wont put maximum effort to rip opponents head off, nor injure him. The goal of such fights is pure entertainment. Boxers perform in front of fans, earn money, sponsors promote themselves, fans see their favorite athletes one more time.

How much money are they paying to make Pacquiao say Yes to this fight?
The Japanese so crazy for entertainment their athletes to fight in Japan because the money they get is enough like Inoue.
If they make this a real fight in boxing while Suzuki couldn't takedown as rules, I doubt he'd win. He'd knocked out. Pacquiao may be retired but not really that old.
I believe it’s going to be A fight like Conor McGregor versus Floyd Mayweather. An MMA fighter has a different skill set with a boxer in terms of having rhythm and also experience. Facing someone like Pacquiao would mean facing an S Tier player Or a top rank player.

The rules is very different so it will not be infavor to Chichi and Pacman is not that old, he is scheduled to fight a real boxer Mario Barrios before the year end. He must be fit a a cow to fght a prime boxer. Considering the pay for such fight I think the Japanese are still going to watch the fight.
Thry would be disappointed to see Suzuki win. This is boxing he going into, its Pacman's world. His footwork alone gives Pacman the advantage to position good shots to knock Suzuki. Pacman can consider this exhibition as tuneup for his real title fighf with Mario Barrios.

Pacman is 45 years old if i'm not wrong and in boxing it is already very old but this exhibition fight is to be in boxing so Manny has a little advantage as he is the real boxer here while Chihiro's skill set is not favored to boxing. Got a little doubt on who will be the winner but knowing Manny i think he would pull out this one and you are right, this is a tune up fight for him before fighting a real boxer in Mario Barrios.
If Chichiro aim in knocking Manny Pacquiao in first round , then Manny should return the favor in knocking Him in half round?(https://talkimg.com/images/2024/06/13/ch7JN.jpeg) (https://talkimg.com/image/ch7JN)

or this is just another way to attract viewers to buy ticket and at least for those gamblers that wanted to make good bucks out of this fight?
Manny is still in shape even in His age so definitely this japanese boxer will have to face defeat in this bout .

(https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/07/25/4hhW3.jpeg)
Anpo will penalized by a whooping $5 million if he violates boxing rules hehe, seems to me Anpo will be focusing more of not committing an error rather than beating Manny.
By the way, Manny is already in Japan for this fight.

It is $5 million or 5 million Yen? Just asking.
But if this is USD then it is huge penalty for Anpo. Just imagine everything slip on his mind and uses his feet to kick Manny, that will be end of fight and then Manny granting that huge penalty.
Yes, I saw some images of Manny in Japan airport so he is going to be ready for this fight and then maybe after this, go after Mario Barrios?

It is 5 million USD mate, i think they kinda put this massive amount of penalty to protect Pacman so that Anpo would not do anything stupid inside the ring. Some were asking if the purse that Anpo will receive is higher than that of the penalty but i don't think so.
Actually this is something that odd on which they've been announcing for some penalty amount if there would really be having those kind of violations on which this isnt really that usually been that announced wheneever there are some exhibition matches or simply i had just missed out something? It would really be that understandable that there would really be rules and regulations in every fight or something that would be in default. As if they are anticipating for some possible things that might happen on why they are really that emphasizing it?Here's some update of the fight.

It's better to have this kind of protocol in the first place. As this is a boxing match which Anpo is not familiar with. He is used to have MMA rules, that is, he can used his elbows, knees and feet as a weapon. As compare to boxing rule with only your hands as your primary weapons.
So they are emphasizing that huge penalty on the Japanese so that we will take into consideration the boxing rules otherwise he will forfeit everything one throws an illegal weapon and we don't know how Manny Pacquiao can take it.
If I had to score this fight, I would give 2 rounds to Anpo. Father time has taken its toll on Manny Pacquaio already as he lost a step, I mean the speed was not there anymore. He struggled against a martial arts fighter how much more if he is to fight a real boxer like Mario Barrios. Nothing to prove anymore so better to hang up the glove for good.Before the fight started, you could tell from his body that he looked unprepared and didn't really took this fight seriously. If he'll face a real boxer at his age, I think he can still show us the speed that we used to see (or at least glimpses of it) if the fight is at a lower weight. It's all about the preparation.

I agree, as he is fighting huge and younger opponents which has the advantage given that this time is really not his prime. Based on what I see on the recent fight against Anpo, there is no reason for him to fight against Barrios as I can see that he became slower though Anpo has reach advantage but still if a nail has not been used for a long time it will surely rust and that is what I see here.If I had to score this fight, I would give 2 rounds to Anpo.

I share your opinion This is not the same Manny Pacquiao we've known; he was better than his last fight before his retirement Now that Father Time has come to Pacquiao.
No promoter should promote Pacquiao or they will be blamed if something serious happens to Manny His body cannot keep up with all those punches, and he may not enjoy his retirement.
The boxing community should unite and call for Pacquiao's retirement. its really time for him to retire.

I see someone here is disappointed with Manny Pacquiao performance and his shape, but dont forget that this was just an exhibition fight. Imo a fighter dont have to kill himself preparing for this fight, as nothing is on stake except a exhibition record. This is kind of a full contact sparring without head protection. The result of a fight is expected. Everyone got their purse, fans got opportunity to see their favorites. Fair fight.
i was just watching the fight on youtube. i'm not disappointed after all. Pacquiao seem to have done his role in this exhibition. he may not have KO Anpo spectacularly but he won the fight despite being an exhibition.
if Pac is younger that kid will already be rolling down in the first round but of course he is now old. retiring as they said is fitting to him since he is already more than 45 yrs old.
but Pacquiao coming back like 47 of age is better than coming back at the age of 57 like Mike.

The fight was a draw since there were no judges but if i were to score the fight i would give two rounds for Anpo as for me Pacman only wins the third round.
You are right, time for Pacman to retire and enjoy his wealth while healthy and so with Mike Tyson, he should not fight at age 57 even in exhibition bout as untoward incident might happen to him.
I want Manny to retire completely and don't return to the boxing ring anymore because he can't last a 12-round fight. Exhibition games? Maybe he can like the one we saw against Anpo. I mean Mayweather is still making money through these exhibition games. Manny can do the same as well as long as his body can. What I don't like though is him trying to come back to the professional fights and try to get those belts.i was just watching the fight on youtube. i'm not disappointed after all.

Tyson's fight with Jake Paul is just an exhibition fight, but Pacquiao has showed some signs that he wants to return to the ring and get those titles "AGAIN". It's for money purposes unless he's trying to break the record of Bernard Hopkins which is the oldest boxer to ever win a title. Hopkins did it at 48 years old.
We do understand the passion on what MP does really like to do but as we can see on the recent exhibition on which you could really be able to see that he is already that become sluggish.

Based on what we saw, we all want Manny to retire and just enjoy retirement, but his body still wants it; I read that WBC wants Manny to have a tune-up fight first before going for the title, and that tune-up fight is the gauge if Manny can still fight in a championship level.
We don't want to see Manny fight in this condition, we will just beg the referee to stop the fight if he faced Barrios on that condition.

I do agree as well, we boxing fans are calling for Manny to just simply hang up the gloves. We do understand his passion and the love of the game. But at this point, and at his age, he should stop for good and not go and fight Mario Barrios because that was his plan.
Nevertheless, we really don't know what his decision is. Maybe his family can help him out make that final decision to quit for good and maybe focus more on his business or being a politician perhaps.
