Last I checked, “foodstuffs” were performance enhancing.

I expected Thurman to do more and come stronger after a shaky start but Pac managed to keep him off and even hurt him with a body shot later in what was 8th or 9th. Pac took some flush right hands as well in the 2nd half but these were too infrequent from a Thurman standpoint. I don't know much about the in's and out's of drugs and PED's but in this game I wouldn't be surprised if everyone was on it Either way what a legend Pacman is! I hope he retires on this win though because against other young hungry topflight fighters (Spence/Crawford) he wont be able to take half of the fight off.

Last I checked foodstuffs were and are life sustaining.

I guess if u fry and sautee certain foodstuffs they could be performance enhancing.

Proper nutrition is performance enhancing. The best form of nutrition is a proper diet. The body can survive on minimal / less optimum fuel and hydration. That body will not perform at peak.

Thurman started to find his range a bit around the 5th, landing the jab and timing the right cross, finally starting to get to grips of the fight, Pacquiao was still dangerous though and kept bursting into life to keep things in his favour, Thurman the younger man just wasn't busy enough and was outworked for long spells, Pacquiao hurt Thurman with a right to the body in the 9th and not for the first time in his career Thurman had to get on his bike to survive, he has good survival instincts does Thurman but never pressed enough to pressure Pacquiao and maybe score a KD to turn things in his favour


I fancied Thurman strongly in this one but credit to Pacquiao he deserved the W and holds a proper World title again, the lack of VADA testing is a bit suspect though, still Thurman should've worked harder to keep his title

At least Joshua has Vada testing for a few weeks before a fight. I'm not sure what testing Manny has now but there are a lot more suspicious fighters out there.

Joshua should figure out what Pac is taking. It might give him mad boxing skills. #MagicBeans
