Pacquiao-Thurman 07.20.2019
An amazing spectacle this past Saturday night in Las Vegas, as Manny Pacquiao beat Keith Thurman by split decision in an action-packed fight.
Pacquiao’s great look started with his robe - i wish we had more shots of this:
Outstanding look in the ring as well:
Pac wore white Anta trunks with red, yellow, and blue trim, blue waistband with PACQUIAO in red with yellow outline on the front and PACMAN across the back.
He had his usual one thousand ads, as well as FIGHT ON along the right leg and ANTA along the left:
Manny wore standard red Cleto Reyes gloves with an unexplained black ribbon along the thumb.
He wore high white Anta socks and a great pair of white Anta shoes with red and blue trims. For extra bonus - some nice red, yellow and blue tassels!
Keith Thurman acquitted himself well in defeat, with perhaps his best executed look in several fights.
He wore four-piece gladiator style trunks in his typical red-white and blue.
The front piece was a bejeweled blue background with red piping, with a white star, outlined in red, along with a red waistband with ONE TIME in bejeweled white with blue outlines.
The only ad was for Fashion Nova, a fascinating “club-attire” clothing store found in malls in California. Fashion Nova also had an add on Pacman’s trunks and appeared on the ring itself. I guess their marketing has determined that the ven diagram of 18+ nightclubs and boxing fans heavily overlaps. Anyway, the back of Thurman’s trunks was the same template as the front, except with a red background, blue piping and blue outline around a white star. BEN GETTY, Thurman’s late trainer and mentor, was across the waistband in the back. The side panels were white with some sparkly flourishes as well.
Thurman wore white Rival gloves with American flag motifs, similar to those he has worn in recent fights:
A little thumb detail, nice touch with the One Time in script:
Thurman wore white Rival shoes with red and blue trim, and One Time in black script towards the top of the ankle.
Great fight, and strong looks from both fighters.
Respect box.
