Comments Thread For: Thurman Vows Showcase, Promises 'No Excuses' With Pacquiao

We know thurman last fight was smokescreen and thurman didn't train hard for him as he knew he'd be no trouble.
But with pac, we will see thurman of old. Whether thurman at his best is good enough we will soon find out

I don’t believe that for a second.
He was rusty and not a lot of fighters can do such long stints away from the ring without suffering from severe ring rust.
Most fighters would still be slightly rusty in their second fight back.
He trained hard, no excuses there

Thurman will run all night and win a very controversial SD... because Haymon.

Thurman’s got Richard Simmons as his nutritionist, he’s got Sylvester Stallone as his conditioning coach, and Cher singing in the background with a live band. I think Thurman’s got this.

Lil homie,,,I shat myself.. Richard Simmons.. my Japanese green tea sprayed outta my nose, and mouth..
******. Outta him"

GOD bless you... Richard Simmons.. the only guy I might ridicule more is Michael Bolton, but mywife,met hhim in Tokyo, at some forevermark\ de beers diamond eeent,,, were he sang Percy sledge and Otis Redding.... I was not invited to my wife’s event.. she knew id try to slap the cover songs outta his gums..

I see Thurman coming out 1 of two ways. Either immediate **** with Pac similar to how he came out with Garcia to show he's the man and get the other guy on the defensive, OR, he comes out immediately moving and boxing to see what Pac's going to bring.

I honestly feel Thurman might go with option 1 to put in Pac's mind that he's already out gunned or overpowered so he can try to bully him. Thurman doesn't realize, Pac is still pretty damn quick for his age and has those odd angles. I can see Thurman potentially being tagged in the middle of an exchange that either puts him down but he gets up, or goes on ***** street and Pac is trying to finish him off.

Either way it should be an exciting fight. It's crazy to not know whose going to win a fight right now even when an advanced Pac at the age of 40 is in there with the former 147lbs king whose in his prime. It shows how truly gifted Pac is to be able to still make it a 50/50 fight today. There is no substitution for hard work and training your A$$ off.

Thurman provides nothing Manny hasn't seen. Manny has the most underrated defense. FLoyd could not penetrate him and did not land any big shots. Thurman has no answers for Manny's style. Manny is better now than 4 yrs ago iMO. NO more worries about the possible KO he's wiser since Marquez. Possible stoppage of Thurman. If he hurts him this won't be a Lopez situation

Keith "No Excuses" Thurman

No excuses he says that’s great! Problem is if he beats PAC there will be plenty of excuses of why he won.

Like I said Thurman if he wins will get no Credit even if he KOs Pac! The above comment says it all.

Casual boxing fan, anyone who watches the tape can clearly see Floyd cleaning Manny's clock throughout the fight, hard, flush shots.

Manny does have underrated defense, but he is 40.

This fight will come down to how Thurman reacts to Manny's power, and how Manny's reacts to Thurmans, that will be the difference.
