"Anpo", the Kickboxer, was obviously trying hard to knockout Manny, in they're exhibition bout.

Manny was obviously completely out of shape in that exhibition bout.

"Anpo" is naturally fairly decent at Boxing only. Somewhat reminiscent of Kickboxer turned Boxers such as "Tex Cobb", "Troy Dorsey", and "Elijah Tillery".

"Anpo" is quite a bit bigger than Manny, and he's apparently on the heavy handed side, so, quite a dangerous exhibition that was for a horribly out of shape Manny to be partaking in.

I still remember watching Ali in that 1979 exhibition versus Raiders football player "Lyle Alzado". It was an 8 rounder. I watched it on tv back then, when I was 9.
"Alzado" had an amateur boxing career prior to joining the Oakland Raiders. He went an impressive 44-1.
"Conor McGregor" fought in 25 amateur boxing bouts before joining MMA.
"Anderson Silva" fought a few pro boxing bouts before joining MMA. Upon returning to pro boxing at the age of 45, he went ahead and took on Chavez Jr, and won by decision. You probably remember that.

With all of that said, I think Boxing fans would line up in droves to watch Manny and Floyd go at it for an 8 rounder, Even though it'd obviously be an exhibition bout.
There is a video I meant to watch yesterday on YouTube. It's supposedly got Floyd describing Manny in training. Apparently Floyd has been hanging out with Manny, while in training camp for Manny's upcoming comeback bout.
That's what the infeed seems to be implying, unless it's merely B.S click-bait.
I'll find out right after I post this here post. :geek:
