Review of Manny

If you've followed Manny Pacquiao's career then have a basic understanding of what the Documentary is about, I say basic because this goes really deep, it doesn't pull any punches (no pun intended)it shows the devastating KO at the hands of Marquez in slow motion with such clarity and from different angles even more clearly than I've ever seen it, it reminded be of how clear the Kennedy Assassination was shown in the movie JFK, well the KO is shown more clearly than you've ever seen it, but it's necessary to tell the tale of Manny Pacquiao, sure it's a bias documentary, after all it's about Manny Pacquiao so what can you expect, this film was produced prior to the Brandon Rios fight, so I wouldn't be surprised if this documentary evolves to include more recent events up to maybe including the Mayweather match up, it shows a more detailed relationship between Manny Pacquiao and Alex Ariza, these guys were friends for sure, sad they're not working together anymore, the relationship between Freddie Roach and Manny Pacquiao is more of the father and son type, they love each other and it's shown in great detail, you'll see what a hectic schedule Manny had and why we saw a decline in his skills due to being unfocused leading up to the Marquez KO, there are limitations to everyone without exceptions and to how much you can fill your plate up before it overflows, this is show again in detail, his Politian schedule, his fundraising events, his preacher appearances, his singing concerts, his live appearances on Jimmy Kimmel, fight promotion tours etc. then add at least a couple of hours a day training at the boxing gym, and you can understand why something had to give, the tale is told beautifully, and leaves you uplifted at the end, truly a one of a kind man, one of the nicest men you'll ever meet, a humble man who consoles others after his devastating KO loss, a man of unwavering faith, and consoles those who are saddened by his loss with a simple "God wanted it this way for a reason" and God knows best, what a powerful message this documentary sends, you'll understand what I mean, it's not just a boxing documentary, it's also a motivational video and much more
