LOS ANGELES — Freddie Roach might again suggest retirement to Manny Pacquiao after seeing the Filipino star in a tough battle against Keith Thurman in Las Vegas Saturday (Sunday, Manila time). While Pacquiao seized Thurman's WBA "super" welterweight title by winning a split decision, he went through the defending champion's heavy offense. The sight worried Roach, Pacquiao's longtime cornerman, who is known for his bluntness. Thurman was so aggressive that he landed 192 power shots on Pacquiao — which, according to CompuBox, is the most landed on Pacquiao in 43 of his fights that it tracked. The last time Roach publicly said he wants Pacquiao to consider retirement was after the Jeff Horn fight in 2017.
