Comments Thread For: Roach: Thurman 'Terrible' In Last Fight; Will Run From Pacquiao

[Lefty0616]

Thurman will only look to run/find a breather if he gets hurt. I expect to see the same Thurman that fought Garcia and Porter. Pacquiao will have his hands full.......This fight should be an entertaining war. Pacquiao isn't fighting a coward like Broner

May vs Pac 2.0 or worst. Thurman's not ****** to go toe to toe with Manny, expect a long 12 Round run.

[IHITBACK]

LETS GET THIS STRAIGHT......SO ITS BAD FOR A WW TO "BOX" WHILE MOVING, BUT ITS COOL FOR A HEAVYWEIGHT TO RUN ALL NIGHT? FURY????

This fight could end up a total disappointment.

Keith WILL run, it's his game plan nowadays, but Manny is horrible at cutting the ring so the optics could be Manny following Keith around for 12 rounds while Keith pot shots away.

I keep telling people this. This is likely what the majority of the fight will consist of.

Expect to see Thurman lands a couple crisp right hands on Manny early in the fight & I expect to see Manny buzz Thurman a few times throughout the fight to wake the crowd up in a relatively boring fight.

In short it'll be a mix of may pac & Pac Broner

[IceTrayDaGang]

Pacquiao chose him because he looked terrible.

so why didnt manny pick mikey then??? pac likes to fight guys coming from losses.

I agree he does. Recently lost (yes recently as in their last few fights ) and bad performances are fighters Pacquiao likes fighting. His resume is full of them.

Pacquiao will stop Thurman while down on the cards.

[dwayne3534]

Nope you're wrong
Pac was never an easy fight guy
Thurman has a belt
Pac wants it..period

This is a joke right?

Pretty much how I see it playing out. Manny doesn't pressure like Porter or even Garcia or Lopez. He also has looked slower and much easier to hit in his last few fights not counting the Mattysse one. He could also possibly brutally ko Manny. Thurman has the ability to land harder shots than anyone Manny has fought in maybe ever.

PAC has fought many opponents that were coming off losses. He picked THURMAN because he looked like sh#t after 2.5 yr layoff.
