Comments Thread For: Thurman: No Rust This Time, Will See My Best With Pacquiao

[PunchyPotorff]

Thurmos is going to have a rough time in there with Pac IMO. It just isn't a good fight for him. His style isn't all that stable or strong in recent fights, outside of the Swift fight. He barely won that one and the Porter rumble. I just see Pac starting fast and pulling away from his man steadily, all night long. Should be a very interesting fight though.

You can bet that it's going to be the very best Keith Thurman that will show up because he already wrestled away those rust by now. Look, it's not just the recent fight that helped in clearing the rust, it's also the everyday sparring that's going on in the gym.

The fighter knows exactly when it's all coming back to him, he can feel and see this in everyday sparring sessions. The timing, sharpness, accuracy and all the intangibles. When you're rusty these things are a bit off. Keith knows rust is gone because all of those things are probably back in his arsenal.

You can bet your house and hoes that Keith is going to prepare for this fight like his life depended on it because he understands that this fight is a once in a lifetime opportunity. One mega-fight already got away from him, he was given a second chance by the boxing Gods and he'd be a fool not to grab the bull by its horns.

I like your optimism. It's a much better read rather than these other 'boxing fans' comments trying to discredit this. With that said, Thurman should win this fight but let's not make any excuses in case an upset occurs in this fight. Pac, especially at 40, should get the rightful credit should he win against a young and undefeated fighter.
