      Good point. Spence threw over 1000 punches in that fight, and a whole heII of a lot of em hit Garcia. Pacquiao can still fight for 12 rounds, so Thurman trying to score and run may not work. Thurman also looked to have possibly declined, and hasn't been doing himself any favors with his layoffs. Intriguing fight.

        Agreed. This Thurman can't be called 'prime' Thurman, after his injuries and looking pretty sloppy vs Josesito. So I suspect that will be the excuse if Manny beats him. Will be an excellent fight.

          I think Thurman beating Pac will make him vs Spence a big fight but if I'm being honest I'd like to see Pac whoop his @$$ lol haha

          I just hope Thurman don't hit Pac with one of those Marquez Mortal Kombat finishing move punches lol

            He's right. Mikey did crap and fought to survive while Spence boxed to a decision.

            Thurman - Pacquiao has the ingredients for an action packed fight.

              He better hope not.

              If there is it probably means Pacquiao is winning.

                Pac has fought a lot of undefeated fighters and prevailed, Thurman has no difference he'll be on the list next.

                  It's actually a really compelling fight, style-wise and career-wise for both.

                  Keith had some iffy moments in the Josesito fight but I actually thought he looked really good, solid reflexes, counterpunching, still had power. It was his first fight back and he didn't take a "gimme" fight, ***** happens.

                  They both move a lot, and have real quick reflexes. They both use the jumpy bounce-in, bounce-out style, just Pacquiao throws more combinations.

                  I anticipate a lot of dancing around, potentially boring early on, but moments of war where they both bounce in and trade with one another. It's a volatile fight.

                    Thurman turned into a points fighter long before Spence. Expect the mambo king to dance around the ring then cry he got robbed when the decision is announced.

                      Is it just me or does it seem that the more shit a fighter talks the worse their performances are? In 2019, for instance there have been fighters like Adrien Broner, M. Garcia and Danny Jacobs who had been doing a lot shit talking to build up of their fights without backing any of it up; Just to step into the ring to get their asses whupped by refusing to try and cashing out.
