Comments Thread For: Thurman: What I Want Most is To Knock Pacquiao Out!

[SweetPbfAli]

I really want PAC to beat Keith “vacation time, break time, need some me time, don’t want Spence or Crawford any time” Thurman.

But this is the punch I’m concerned about that Thurman throws very well and sometimes PAC gets very careless or reckless and gets caught with it, THE OVER HAND RIGHT.

Let's see if Thurman can set it up like JMM. JMM did good body work early in that round to sell Manny on the left hook to the body with that hard feint. That was so beautiful actually.

Trust no one

Hey man, don't trust nobody.Bring your own food, water and everything you are going to consume in vegas. There's a mafia that will try to poison your food or water because there is so much money on gayweather vs Pac 2. They will try to slow you down by giving you bad water or food at anytime before or during fight. Don't take water bottles from noone, Trust nobody. Nitramzaid@hotmail.com

Good post, what’s also telling is Thurman is out of position and off balance if he misses that overhand right, however Marques maintains balance and defensive posture.

That means missing that punch can mean punishment on the counter. That counter happens enough and there eventually is less incentive to throw that overhand right.

Thurman is off balance and out of position.

WTF are you talking about?

Thurman connected with the overhand right, and instinctively ducked under the left hook from Garcia as he was throwing the punch, he was three steps ahead of him, watch the tape before you post.

that's kinda not fair if you think about it... i feel a name is deserving IF that person has proved it. in the early on, thurman did live up to his name. so i feel that should be enough. you cant keep knocking mofos out, time changes everyone. fighters get older, the comp gets better, etc. just like michael jordan, towards the end of his career, he wasnt no "air" jordan anymore but that name will always still be with him because he has earned it.

Yea but "Ko's for Life" and Keith hasn't Ko'd anyone since 2013. Its 2019 man lol. All I'm saying is if the shirt says Keith Thurman on it I ll buy it. If it says Keither Thurmans "Kos for Life' I cant wear it.

I say Thurman looks very mediocre compared to Manny. Very.

Thurman can get gift decision like Horn and Bradley, that`s all.

But, more realistic, Manny beats him badly.

Wtf are youuuuu talking about smot guy? Do you know the difference between the two very different opponents?

Going all in on the over head right is something you can predict and get away with if you are up against a guy like Danny who almost depends on the over hand counter and has plodding feet.

However Manny has in and out movement, very quick hands and very quick feet. In the past Manny has had the speed to just avoid the overhand w/o a same time counter and look for the post punch position. Last thing you want to do is be off balance falling forward with eyes to the ground.

As stated again... IF THURMAN MISSES throwing like that, he risks catching a two to three piece in a very vurnerable spot. Being off balance it could even mean a flash knockdown.

Even worst some guys catch night time for that well timed mistake. See the link “afficianado,” Lubin tried to duck Charlo, wtf happened there?

But another risk in being the slower more vulnerable fighter and going in with the over commitment on the overhand right is this... see Pac vs Cotto.

Manny has been quick enough to land his punch before the opponent even gets his off.
Over commiting in that scenario could be disastrous.

Learn the depth of the sport before talking crazy online. Not saying Pacquiao wins but Thurman will be smart enough to know he can’t fight Pac like he fought Danny, even if you don’t seem to get it.

Thurman will work behind the safety of the jab till he sees low risk and vulnerable moments for that type of commitment. If notthe fight is Manny’s to lose.

Styles make fights. The boxing lessons are always free brother.

That’s a good point. Thurman keeps bragging about his boxing IQ, lets see if he can set up his over hand right.
