    Pacquiao vs Thurman

    Who takes it?


    This version of Manny; im concerned with a guy with power like Thurman BUT I think Manny will throw what Thurman can't see.


    Thurman isn't as fast as Manny, Thurman gets shy off of Diaz, he will back off of Manny.


    ****ing BumDu had Thurman leaking eyeballs, or was it Ghost?

            This version of Pac? It's hard to say, maybe 50-50 at this point? A peak Pac beats Keith no question.

            Pac has been a hesitant fighter since the Marquez KO, that relentless aggression and bit of recklessness was what made him so special.

              Exactly. I think Manny will be in and out and big slow Thurman won't catch him.

                I think he will move. I've noticed

                1. Keith doesn't like southpaws
                2. Open for a left
                3. Movement troubles him



                Manny has all 3.

                  I think Thurman's hand speed is underrated because of his power. He definitely has above average speed.

                    I think Keith has done well against the southpaws he's fought so far. Quintana and Guerrero, Bundu fought as a southpaw for long stretches of their fight as well. He fought Andrade 4 times in the amateurs as well as countless other southpaws, he's got good experience fighting them.

                    But yes he would struggle with Pac's movement, Keith gets reckless when he's the aggressor, so it would suit him if Pac was the aggressor and Keith had to fight on the backfoot.
