Maybe it’s just not Manny’s time yet. The best record he could still break is being the oldest champion in boxing. Bernard Hopkins was 49 when he did it, different division but who knows, maybe Manny can come back at 50 for one more title fight.
But honestly, I also thought Manny won, I mean, maybe I’m a bit biased since I bet on him, but that’s really how I saw the fight. And after watching the video you shared, it just confirms I wasn’t being biased at all.
