“Now Mrs. PacMan Gonna Catchup With Both of Them”: Fans Have a Field Day as Female Boxing Champion vs. Manny Pacquiao Shadowboxing Clip Takes the Internet by Storm

Published 03/08/2023, 5:45 PM EST

Manny Pacquiao stands tall along with other great luminaries of boxing. The first boxer to have won twelve major titles in eight different weight classes, his is literally a rags-to-riches story. From the streets of Manila to the world’s second-highest-earning athlete in 2015, the “PacMan” reached the highest echelons of the sport through sheer grit and determination. Starting his professional journey as a teenager in 1995, he met and demolished some of the biggest names in boxing. Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, and Shane Mosley, among many others, were bereft of answers to Pacquiao’s pace and strength.

Though he retired from professional boxing in 2021, like his archnemesis, Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Pacquiao also embarked on exhibition bouts. Last year he participated in three such fights, the latest being against DK Yoo on December 11.

He is still a big crowd-puller. While his online presence might appear diminutive compared to Mayweather Jr.’s, fans and followers throng in hordes wherever he goes to catch a glimpse of him.

Through its Instagram handle, Top Rank released a short video of Pacquiao, accompanied by WBA’s Minimum weight champion Seniesa Estrada and (though partially visible) Ryan Garcia‘s brother Sean Garcia. The trio then demonstrated a fast-paced shadowboxing sequence to the crowd gathered around them.

Top Rank said, “VWhen Superbad kept up with PacMan.”

In the shadows of the PacMan

Perhaps seeing Manny Pacquiao in the company of a woman other than his wife, Jinkee, @numberf15e bantered, “Now, mrs pacman gonna catchup with both of them.”

@gregoose17 lamented that Pacquiao used to be way too nimble and sharp than how he appeared in the video clip. “Crazy how fast he used to be compared to now :/.” he said.

@ballroombeatmaker said, “Man need to stay RETIRED!!!!“ It seems he’s among the many who strongly believe that Manny Pacquiao should retire for good instead of risking a return.

Unhappy with the boxer Seiesa Estrada’s performance, @ryo_all_the_time said, “Her shadow boxing is very slow and bad🙅‍♂️.”

But @fubarr_ seemed to differ a bit as he felt that Estrada may catch up with “PacMan,” but it would be an altogether different case if she goes against Floyd Mayweather Jr. He said, “Can keep up with Pacfman but can never keep up with Floyd.”

@martnnnnnnnnnnn, like @ryo_all_the_time, was unhappy with the Minimumweight title holder since she failed to stay even against a forty-two-years-old man! “She couldn’t keep up with 42 year old retired pas; that’s crazy.” He said.

However, finally, one voice came in support of Estrada. @mr_magic213 asked whether anyone had ever seen Estrada fight? He says she’s a real deal, “Y’all ever seen her fight? She’s legit.”

Thirty-year-old Seniesa Estrada is an American boxer of Mexican descent. She has previously held WBC Silver Light Flyweight and WBA Interim Flyweight titles. The Top Rank promotee has participated in twenty-three fights and has yet to lose a bout. Nine of her wins came through knockouts.

Three years ago, she grabbed headlines for knocking out one of her opponents in flat 7 seconds! It is recorded as the fastest knockout in women’s boxing.
