Manny Pacquiao Reacts To Another Veteran Southpaw’s Unexpected Win

In another sport this past weekend another leftie continued to defy age and conventional logic in the sport of golf.

Golfer Phil Mickelson recorded a win for the books by caputring another major champinship at the age of 50.

By becoming the 2021 PGA Champion.

Not long after knee surgery either.

Indeed, Pacquiao has been defying age in the boxing ring and took note on social media of Mickelson’s achievements by telling him:

“From one “old” southpaw to another, congratulations, @PhilMickelson!   Your victory at the @PGAChampionship was one for the ages.”

Pacquiao will try to do something similar in the boxing ring in his next fight.

Taking on pound for pound younger world champion Errol Spence Jr. this summer in Las Vegas.

Perhaps a fight not many will give Pacquiao a chance in.

That will be his motivation one suspects.
