Bill Dwyre: Manny Pacquiao's victory would be the ultimate farewell to a storied career
LAS VEGAS - As storybook endings go, this one belonged on Broadway. Call the Hallmark Channel. Don't be ashamed if you tear up.
When Manny Pacquiao, the boxing senator from the Philippines, emerged from the ring Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, the fighting fireplug had conquered two formidable opponents - unbeaten welterweight champion Keith Thurman and seldom-beaten all-division champion Father Time.
Pacquiao is 40. Thurman is 30. This was Pacquiao's 71st professional fight, Thurman's 30th. Pacquiao, the only person to become an eight-division boxing champion, has fought almost as many fights in Las Vegas (20) as Thurman has fought anywhere.
