Comments Thread For: Thurman Smiles: My Prediction? I'll Stop Pacquiao in Less Than Six!

[Beercules]

Either that, or he'll run the first time he gets hit hard. One or the other.

Who do you think wins my dude ?

I've never felt less confident predicting. The weird thing is, it's usually the old guy that is the question mark. But, we know exactly where Pac is at and what he can still bring.

Thurman... who knows? If here's got back what he had 2 years ago he's going to be too big, fast, and rangey for Pac. If he's still got the slow reflexes and hesitation he had against Lopez, Pac is going to frustrate the shyt out of him and he'll constantly be missing counters and looking a step behind.
I think it's all on Keith.

How do you see this playing out?

This is really good to hear, not the injuries, steroids or other negative speculations that kills joy, fun and anticipation. Hearing utmost confidence from both sides meant they are 100% ready for the clash, no excuses.

We've been let down recently with various mega fights that didn't happen. Let's hope that this one won't fizzle out--let's hope and pray to the boxing gods that no injury happens along the way. A couple more days to go, we're almost there.

Whatever happens to this fight will breathe new life to Welterweight division. Win-win situation for fans.

I think Pacquiao needs to hit Keith early with something.

I hope he goes to the body often more, but at some point Keith will over power Manny in the clinches and hurt him inside.


I hope I'm wrong.

He said the reason Manny said he felt good after the AB fight was because he didn't get hit enough. You think AB shelled up because he thought he would win a decision that way? A lot of fighters that talk they are going to exchange with Pacquiao end up on their bike for the majority of the fight when they get in the ring.

The only one that got that massive KO of Pac was Marquez and you know what, he went through pure hell to earn it. I doubt Thurman is willing to put it on the line the way Marquez did.

How did Marquez go through hell to KO Pac-Man?
He dropped Pac-Man with the same right hand in the third round of that fight and his first three fights with PAC could have gone either way.

Did Bradley or Horn or Floyd “go through hell” to beat PAC?

Yep. Thurmos has proven he'll take the easy route any time he can get away with it. And I doubt seriously Manny will let him get away with it. This should be a very interesting fight, but just ignore any Thurmos predictions. They're hot air and nothing more.

When was the last time this guy stopped anyone?

[Sosay]

I'm really hoping for a competitive clear victory for Thurman. This will be an exciting fight.

Marquez got knocked down 6 times and they only had 3 1/5 bouts... and got his nose broken to pieces!

Bradley was knocked down 3-4 times I believe.

Horn was out on his feet in the 9th round and the fight should have been stopped whereas Horn vs Crawford, Horn could have finished the fight instead of the ref calling it in the 10th.

Floyd wore out the bottom of his soles running so much and was forced to hug a grown man 100 times on live T.V. while his corner was telling him that he hit like a bytch!

That must have been hell!
