Pacquiao Boxing Analysis
Manny Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KOs) surprised the boxing scene by making a comeback. The 46-year-old hasn’t fought since his defeat to Yordenis Ugas in August 2021, where he appeared his age in a unanimous decision loss.
He remains boxing’s only eight-division champion, but at 46, the focus is now on his current capabilities rather than his legacy. In the Ugas fight, Pacquiao was outlanded overall (151-130), in jabs (50-42), and in power punches (101-88).
He may have stayed active with exhibition matches, but real championship boxing is different. Pacquiao’s trainer insists they’ve trained intensively, but age affects everyone. The question remains: will Manny’s stamina last twelve rounds?
Pacquiao must start quickly, set an early pace, and turn the match into a brawl before his age shows. His best shot is to challenge Barrios with angles and fast combinations.
