Whats up JABsquad we are back with another episode. Today we wanna pay our respects to a legend we lost in the sport, Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whittaker (January 2, 1964 – July 14, 2019). We discuss what kind of impact he had on us as boxing fans as well as the game.

We revisit Saturday night Manny Pacquiao vs. Keith Thurman, and talk about the outcome of this fight as well as what was on Keith’s mind going into this match. Did he really wanna prove he could beat a legend or cash out?? Was he underestimating Manny by taking him on as a “Get Back” fight? Will Manny be able to recapture elite status by continuing on in today’s era of champions? All of this is discussed on the “Just Absolutely Boxing” podcast! so make sure you subscribe!!
