Comments Thread For: Photos: Keith Thurman Grinds Hard For Manny Pacquiao Defense

[RuleOfTheSpear]

Thurman doing stuff that boxers that were 100x the fighter he is haven’t done in their whole career such as yoga and using a giant bouncy ball to stretch out.

Either he knows something we don’t or the guy is doing these new quasi workouts that don’t help you at all and contribute to the bodybuilding issues fighters like Joshua have.

He's playing mind games. He will break down Manny and come for the stoppage. We all know Keith is smart. He wouldn't fight Manny if he's not sure he'll win.

Nothing wrong with some yoga and stability ball exercises to complement training. They help with injury prevention, flexibility and longevity. Thurman is around 30 now, which for the old time fighters you're referring to, was already past prime age.
These exercises are additional to the boxing training he'll be doing.
I can't believe you and some others think he won't be doing hard sparring, running, bag work etc as well as all this.

The musclebound issues of Joshua you referred to aren't the result of stuff like Thurman is doing here - that's all the bench pressing, shoulder press etc **** with weights that Joshua did before he even started boxing, and still does too much of now.

Thurman bringing his A game for a 40 year old washed up tiny pacquiao. He better not lose or ill be mad. He is the only fighter who actually laughed and insulted pacman to his face, broner made some corny jokes but was pretty much respectful. Thurman bringing that heat

You have a good point my brother! Joshua looks like a god! Imagine seeing him walking down the street shirtless.. a god, however dude is so muscle bounded that he can barely climb the stairs without being fatigued. The video of him jogging was disgraceful! Can barely move without breathing like he is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders like atlas!

Comments like these show how ignorant and ****** you casual boxing fans are! You have no idea how hard this man has been grinding and preparing but you claim he isn't working hard at all?

Casual boxing fans are the worst.

Grinding hard to run?

Thurman in my opinion is in the same situation as David Haye was, during the later part of his career. Seems like he has to alter his training in order for his body to survive. All I know is this? Manny Pacqauio is the older fighter, but for me his body is more durable 'I highly doubt his training regime or mindset has change since he blasted into the welter-weight division'.

The longer this fight goes, the more I favor Manny Pacqauio.
