      Pac knows this is a real fight and looks like he is training with intensity and has that look of hunger in his eye. I think pac actually wins a dec or late stoppage. Thurman seems to slow down in fights the longer they go like he did with swift. He can’t do that with pac because pac can go 12 hard rds and is going to make him fight for 12 rds. I think Thurman gas tank will fail him late.

        I do hope all of you who are predicting a Pac win, give credit to Thurman if he wins. I have a creeping su****ion that most will say Pac was too old.

          The fact that Pacquiao is even competing at this level at 40 years old is enough to merit him praise. The guy is an all time great. He's probably the only true all time great fighting right now. If he wins it'll be impressive. I do expect Pacquiao to pick up the victory but it's gonna be an exciting fight.

            Pacquiao, please dont overtrain for this fight. At your age, its about working smart not hard. Your skills should supersede what Thurman has. I really would like to see you upset this guy. One time is horrible for the WW division. Hogging the belt that belongs to Crawford or Spence. I hate to see all the fighters, while in their primes, seemingly reluctant to step up and fight each other. All this other side of the street stuff. Just fight. Got damn.

              I've been watching Pac train through the years, but I can tell he has the "EYE OF THE TIGER" for this one.

                I was originally picking Thurman and he is the favorite, however after really thinking it over I think pac will pull it off based on the fact that Thurman seems to fade in the late rounds. Don’t get me wrong pac is not the same fighter but unless he gets old overnight I am going with him.

                  I'm with you 100% on that. They saying Pac going to win & if he don't its the "he's old" excuse. They can't flip flop like that.

                    That aint true. The man went through injuries that is part of any sport. So I would rather see a 100% Thurman fight not an injured one. I won't be surprised if Keith wins this fight either.
