Ring legend Manny Pacquiao returned in a six round boxing exhibition against YouTube martial artist DK Yoo on Saturday night at the Korea International Exhibition Center in Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang, South Korea. Pacman dropped the much larger Yoo at the end of round four, then dropped him again in round six. Yoo was given about 30 seconds to recover and survived to the final bell. Pacman, who turns 44 next week, was announced as winner by unanimous decision.

Would’ve been great to see this exhibition in person in South Korea. I really like that country. Interesting too to see what condition Manny is in now.
How can you determine “what condition Manny is in now” when he’s fighting a dude who was already proven not to have any fighting abilities?
…By his appearance.
DK Yoo isn’t the worst YouTube boxer I’ve seen, actually had ok skills.
No surprise.. hope he stays retired
I agree. Manny looks much softer now in his body and advancing age should be signs of slowing down and enjoying life now.
Now get in the ring with Floyd again as a real sanctioned fight and not an exhibition. That’s the only fight worth watching either of them in. (I believe Manny would be up for it, but it’s hard to imagine Floyd not making excuses and running away scared, you know, like much of his career.)
I wouldn’t want to see that. Let them go and enjoy the exhibition circuit, they’ve earned it.
how was there a winner announced it was an exhibition?
even exhibitions have winners. It’s just not an official match.
– I said that I wouldn’t even watch the highlights of this on You Tube.
– I actually watched the entire fight on You Tube.
– Manny wasn ‘t too happy w/Yoo’s holding most of the six two-minute rounds.
– “Punishing” him was a good description.
DK Yoo is like a karate teacher just like bruce lee, if bruce lee fought pacquioa in the ring it would of been the same results pacquioa by KO!!
That’s all speculation but it sounds like a bunch of bullshit.
Manny is one of the all time greats, maybe he is just deciding to go the Floyd route of just raking in money for an exhibition, whatever, I wish Manny all the best, because he has always been one of the finest.
Wow 44 ! The time flies bye so fast !
Manny at 44 would certainly WHOOP some asses in the welterweight division..
Go pac man go.
Damn he looks old
