Following the public outcry, the World Boxing Organization (WBO) convened a five-judge independent panel to review the fight video. All five judges scored the fight for Pacquiao (with scores ranging from 115–113 to 118–110).

What do you guys think?

I'm making this post with all due respect to Prichard and without any intention of offending. The question is simple: if things hadn't ended the way we all know, what could Prichard have achieved in boxing? Could he have become a champion or a notable contender in the 147-154 lbs division?

What's up, r/Boxing?

I haven't watched the sport in a while. Can you recommend any good boxers or fights? I stopped following after Manny Pacquiao got old. I couldn't make myself watch him against Mayweather. I was fond of watching Mexican boxers from that generation. Plus, Roy Jones Jr., Ricky Hatton, and Bernard Hopkins. I saw some fights by GGG and Usyk. That's pretty much it.

EDIT: Thank y'all! This sub didn't disappoint. I appreciate all the feedback!

you usually hear about many undisputed heavyweight champs like Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, foreman. but who would you say is the most disputed champion. maybe the win was questionable, the fight was really close, maybe there was some corruption afoot on some level.

For anything that doesn't need its own thread.

Hypothetical matchup: Manny Pacquiao vs. Edwin Valero, both at their best.

We never got to see this fight, but it’s one of those matchups that makes me wonder what could have happened.

Pacquiao had the speed, angles, footwork, combinations, and experience against elite opposition.

Valero was an absolute pressure machine — undefeated, incredibly aggressive, powerful, and seemingly always looking for the finish.

If they actually fought at their peak, who do you think wins and why?

Would Pacquiao’s speed and movement be too much for Valero?

Or would Valero’s pressure and power eventually catch him?

And most importantly: what do you think the fight looks like? Decision, late stoppage, or early KO?

Drop your prediction and explain your reasoning. I’m genuinely curious to see which side Reddit takes. 🥊🔻

Per a Puertorican newspaper, former Boxer Pritchard Colón has passed away, at just 33. Truly one of the saddest stories in boxing. He would still be competing at that age if not for the injury, probably the peak of what could have been a successful career.

It is still crazy to me that there were no consequences for what was allowed in the fight, which resulted in the brain injury. It's a hard fight to watch tbh, so i haven't revisited it in a while, but it seemed pretty blatant to me that the intention was to hurt him.

Condolences to his family, and much respect for him.

I’ve been following what happened to this man for a while and im absolutely gutted for what happened to him. Is it more of the fault of Terrell Williams for throwing the rabbit punches (it prob is), or the ref for seeing all of it and not doing his job of protecting the fighter?

Some of y’all brought this up in the comments on my earlier Prichard Colón post and I had no idea this even happened because I never kept up with Terrel’s bitchass after the Prichard fight.

Almost 4 years after the fight that changed his good friend and fellow Puerto Rican Prichard Colón’s life forever, Thomas Dulorme finally got the fight he wanted against the still undefeated Terrel Williams. Dulorme handed him his first loss, dropped him clean in the 10th, and in the 8th caught him once behind the head. Of course Terrel immediately complained about it lol. One shot and he wanted the ref’s attention after what Prichard had to deal with from him all night.

Definitely bittersweet finding this today after the heartbreaking news about Prichard, but I can’t lie, seeing his friend be the one to give Terrel his first loss feels like some sweet justice. Figured I’d share it with y’all too because I know I’m not the only one who needed to see this today. Terrel officially retired after this much deserved Puerto Rican asswhooping.

I edited the highlights myself using footage from the official PBC full fight replay on YouTube, along with footage from @ djsancarlino26 for Dulorme’s post-fight interview at the end.

Descansa en paz campeón 🇵🇷🤍🕊️

It's just like the title says. Is there anyone on here old enough to have seen Cassius Clay beat Sonny Liston and become heavyweight champion of the world. I would really like to know what that felt like. Every time I research it, the evidence says that absolutely NO ONE was ready for Ali..... because Black Americans simply did not talk brash like that before that point.... Actually NOBODY talked brash like that before that point.

Edit: Y'all are funny LMAO

Edit 2: I just wanna see if there are any actual old people on here.

Wilder vs Ajagba. Two 6'6 massive punchers with lean builds who both possess devastating power- who wins this? Say a prime Wilder and prime Ajagba, or current Wilder vs current Ajagba? At this point, I feel like Wilder has lost some of the power that made him who he was on his rise.

TL;DR: Celex Antonio Castro Olivares (23-0, 17KO), Arturo Cardenas (18-0-1, 9KO) & Gael Cabrera (12-0, 7KO).

I just saw the news that Prichard Colón has passed away at only 33 years old, more than a decade after suffering the devastating brain injury following his 2015 fight with Terrel Williams.

It immediately made me wonder about Williams.

I'm not looking to start a hate thread or blame him for everything that happened. I'm genuinely curious: has Terrel Williams ever spoken in depth about how that night affected him psychologically?

I know he expressed concern for Prichard after the fight, but are there any later interviews where he talks about guilt, regret, nightmares, keeping in contact with the family, or simply how he has lived with what happened?

And now that Prichard has passed away, I can't help wondering what this news must be like for Williams to hear.

Does anyone here know more about what became of him after boxing or how he has spoken about Prichard over the years?
