Mohammad Fakhreddine, the current BRAVE CF middleweight champion, knows a thing or two about boxing.
Not surprisingly, he is a big fan of the Filipino boxing icon.
Like most people, the 37-year-old player believes that the upcoming August 21 match against Errol Spencer’s Pacquiao will not be his last game.
In any case, Fakhreddine admitted that he has always supported the 42-year-old legend and believes that this will come down to a decision.

“It will be an uphill battle, but I will always be with Pacquiao,” Fahreding said. “I think it will be a decision.”
In addition, Fakhreddine believes that Pacquiao has many more tanks. After the conflict with Spencer, he saw Pinoy’s fist for at least two or three more games.
“From what I have been observing, I don’t think this will be his last battle. Manny is a fighter. Manny is a beast. Although I don’t think he will lose this battle, whether he wins or loses, I think he might fight or more,” he said.
Although he comes from a different fighting sport, the Lebanese mixed martial artist explained why he respects the only eighth world champion in boxing.
“He is not fighting anyone. He is also fighting top games. He doesn’t protect himself like Freud. [Mayweather] Done. He doesn’t pick a frame. He is chasing those young people. He is pursuing the championship. I developed crazy respect for Manny. Manny is the man,” Fahreddin said.

“It’s a different animal. I love that person. I may be his first fan. I have been watching him since I was a child. I like watching him fight. He is over 40 years old, but he has not lost his speed or strength. He did not lose his reaction. I don’t know what kind of life he leads, but I hope I can be like him at his age.”
Fakhreddine recently saw action at BRAVE CF 52: Bad Blood in Milan, Italy, aiming to become the only two-tier champion in the promotion.
Unfortunately, when he Lose to Mohamed Said Maalem passed TKO in the first round.
