Poll: Pac vs Thurman

I voted Pac by KO probably partly because that is the result I am hoping for. I think it's a close fight on paper that could go either way. Thurman looked weak last fight and Pac looked strong so I am picking Pac but Thurman should be better after that rust removal fight.

Thurman pulls away in the 2nd half to a UD or close split decision. Too long and moves too much for Manny to land consistently on.

I think this fight will be close and that it will go all 12 rounds. My prediction is Thurman wins by decision 8 rounds to 4 or 7 rounds to 5.

PAC by KO around the 8th. This will be one of his most impressive wins. I think if Pac will win this it will be by an impressive stoppage. Thurman's Chin is suspect. Thurman's midsection is suspect. Pac can really hurt Thurman.

Got a love of love for both these guys but I'm going with the young gun. Expect both fighters to get hurt early.

Have no clue on this fight which is why im hyped for it and will probably do good numbers. If had to choose I think Thurman gets a SD win, but Manny will probably get more love from the judges plus the rumors of May-Pac2 if the old man wins.

Im hoping for a Pacquiao KO but i suspect it will be Thurman UD. Stand and trade with old man Manny and he will still eat you up, but Thurman isnt going to do that, ive paid no attention to his talk of going to war, going for an early KO but none or that is going to happen, hes going on the run. Its just a question of can Manny keep up with him enough to do enough work to guarantee the points at the end of the round cuz anything not less than nailed on for Manny is going to be given to Keith.

I can't call it. So many possible outcomes and nothing would surprise me. Would be great win for pac though but id be pleased for thurman that Pac gave him chance to make name for himself if Keith wins

Thurman gets caught lunging in early and puts on the track shoes the rest of the fight. You can run, but you don't win rds by sprinting away from the fight - Pac UD

I'm going with Thurman by UD for this one. Pac has slowed down there is no doubt. Thurman will be in top shape for this fight and motivated. He can box and has good power. He is bigger longer and younger. He also has the size to rough Pacquiao up if he has to.

Might be decision win for either. Might be a draw. At this stage of their careers and the state they're both in, both might just get dropped since both have suspect chins. I'm on the fence on this one. Both have a chance of winning it. It all depends on who's version of themselves shows up. But off course. I'm for Manny to win by KO on the 7th round.

Thurman UD. I watched both of their last fights. Pac's timing is gone. Broner was a setting duck who doesnt throw anything and just shells up. Pac was not hitting him cleanly, his combos were missing or grazing most of the time. Timing is what goes first in age. You can still have hand speed and still look in good shape. Look at shot RJJ, still had fast hands but timing was gone. Of course Pac shut Broner out on the cards, easy to do when you have fast hands and your opponent never throws back. Thurman was landing clean flush combos his last fight. Of course because he is young but he had surgery so that needed to be evaluated. Jeff Lacy was young but post surgery he couldnt pull the trigger again and wasnt landing clean solid punches, his career was done after that. Thurman still wasnt that impressive, his defense was poor, when tagged he doesnt hold, he just moved back in a straight line with his hands low, a terrible move. Thought about this but after seeing Pac not landing clean, if he never hurts Thurman, this wont be a problem. His stamina was bad but that is something that can be most easily fixed.

I want a knockout by either guy, but I doubt it will happen. I expect a 12-rounder, and possibly a draw or robbery on the cards.

I want Manny to win but not sure if he will.

Im calling it now. Thurman by UD ... nothing less... :)
