    this is actually a dangerous fight for manny!!! pac is finally in with a top young guy that can punch! this is the type of style that pac haters have been saying that manny is avoiding.

    thurman might have looked average against lopez and was hurt a few times, but even during those times, thurman was firing back some hard shots on lopez. i dont think manny would be able to withstand those punches that keith landed on lopez. pac better be on his toes, in and out for this fight.

      If manny can’t take run times punches what is he doing with his life then??

      Manny will headbut them soft slaps like no tommorow and there will be no running cause he can cut the ring off.

        Also, Manny will be straight lefting him to the body too.

          Manny is hard to hit dude. This aint no face first fighter like Lopez. Plus Keith will be moving backwards. Seems Like Pac can never get an opponent to come to him anymore. That is when he is most dangerous. I bet you Keith will be boxing off the back foot from long range. Better Hope One time can take body shots better than i have seen him in a while.

            Idk about all that. Thurman ain't the Broner type.

            I do think this is winnable for Manny & its no easy W for Thurman either. Feels very 50/50ish to me & I do kinda lean Manny's way, but maybe I'm making too much of Thurman's getting hurt by Josesito. I kinda think him getting hurt by Josesito was a bad look doe. Then again SRL did get dropped by that Kevin Howard dude so who f#cking knows.

                Agreed.

                I like Manny and love watching him fight but his legs are shot, he has no foot speed anymore. He looked old to me.

                Anyone good with decent work rate can beat Broner.

                People might also be making too much of Thurman's last performance. He was out of the ring for 2 years. Lopez was a fairly decent fighter for a comeback fight after so long out & injuries. People forgetting Thurman was no.1 in the division before his time off. If he gets back to near his best soon, it's a hard fight for old Manny.

                  You act like this guy gets hit clean with double figure punches . No he doesnt maybe 3 or 4 a round. He is going to make Thurmon run around ring. That is unfortunate for Pac too.

                    This will make Pac FOTD if he wins. Thurman is a young lion, unbeaten and in prime and with a very good resume he hasn't just satisfied the eye test like Lomo, Crawford and Spence.
                    Pac has 7o fights under belit is 40. He shouldn't win.
                    Pac is already best of era. Now its time to be FOTD twice. Thurman is arguably the best WW. SPencer and Crawford not fought Thurman to prove otherwise.

                      I just don't think Thurman is a guy that really would make an old boxer feel old, he is a boxer who wants to box not pressure and really bring the heat to a guy.

                      I think Manny will be allowed space and time so this will end up a boxing contest and normally that is not where an old fighter gets old. Plus Thurman has his own issues that while he has youth on his side he is not exactly a super sharp spring chicken either with injuries and layoffs.
