Comments Thread For: Roach: Thurman is a Dud, He Will Fizzle Against Pacquiao

[lion33lit]

Roach is the one who said "Manny Pacquiao's gonna knock [Floyd] out in 7 rounds" and "we've been preparing for this for years" only to admit defeat there.

Ran around saying "Manny's going to get his first knockout in a long time against Horn". We saw how that went.

I predict, after the Thurman fight, we will see this:

Exactly, Manny might use "the calf" excuse this time! And need a special "basin" & "rinse" from Spain in order for it to heal properly! Roach will cry wolf and say "I really didn't want Manny taking this fight in the 1st place, but I really couldn't pass up the payda....er, um, uh,...I told Manny he was slowing down and that he should call it a career and take it easy, I told him to 'relax with Jinkie and the family'"...."You know Manny, he does what he wants."

Imo, with Horn? Manny shouldv gotten a **** kit and pressed charges lol, Horn was brutal and got away with murder being that he was on home turf. Welterweights don't even talk about Horn anymore because they realize they'll all end up needing **** kits - he's not worth the work, unless of course they can pepper him from the outside like Crawford did.

Roach seems to be playing around (I had just read the heading when I commented earlier). He'd be crazy to think that Thurman could not get any better than he was in his last outing. Or that Thurman wouldnt try his very best to up his game against a past prime legend who's shorter than him - on PPV to boot?!!

As far as I'm concerned youve gotta plan for the BEST Thurman, regardless of how bad he looked in his last fight. Thurmans a "professional," which means his thinking and recharge button is on another level....at least, thats what I believe about above average professional athletes "in their element." I think thats a no-brainer and think Spence hit it on the nail with his predictions ....revelated, sorry for the looong book ..lol.

Manny just hires Roach to talk smack for him... that's gangster!

I want Thurman to absolutely wreck Pac just so Pac fires Roach again.

Roach literally says Manny is going to knockout every opponent. Outside of the retirement check cashing Matthysse, Manny hasn't KOed anyone in 10 years.

Atta boy Freddie! Give Pac enough false confidence he will get careless, and get JMM'd.

Hate to say it, but I think Pac would be a lot better off if he didn't have Roach.

Since when did Roach become a comedian?

F'ckin cringeworthy inn'it?

Manny will win by KO, or Thurman by robbery!

[jvsnypes]

Roach is simply trying to get under Thurman’s skin so he fights Manny’s fight. Roach already knows if Keith uses his normal lateral movement, he will give Manny fits. And I can honestly see Manny chasing and walking into one of those lead uppercuts that Thurman is known for. I don’t think Keith will retire Manny but I do think he gets the decision in an action fan pleasing fight. It will set up an even bigger rematch

Strange Roach didn't call any of Pac's soft touches ''Duds'' ???

Excluding May, Thurman is the best fighter Pac has faced in a long time.

''Dud'' will be a tough word to swallow if Thurman wins.
