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

Runtime gets hurt early and goes into track mode. Around the 5th-6th, PAC starts catching and hurting the tiring runtime. Around the 10th, runtime is donetime and he quits on his stool claiming injury to save face.

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.

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.

this will go down like the pac cotto fight. kt will be on his bike late in the fight.

Keith "once upon a time" is likely out of time. But, your right, he does have that one shot thats Mannys kryptonite.

Thurman needs to box to win if the KO happens, it happens.

Thurman needs to chill with this top of the generation BS, you can’t be top of anything avoiding the best of your own weight class.

To be the best one has to beat the best. You don’t become the best by beating the guy who has the best resume.

Hopefully PAC is mentally prepared. For early frustration. Keith will be on his bicycle pot shotting in the first three rounds. We know that he studied the Floyd fight.

It’s when Keith begins to tire in the early middle rounds that he will have the chance to close the distance. Would be very surprised by a knock out either way.

Hopefully both camps have strategies that allow them to go the distance. Wish both these warriors good luck and good health.

In all fairness he beat Danny and Shawn back to back. The he got injured beat a game tuneup and now is fighting Pac. That's pretty good in my book. He said Errol in 2020. I believe him

Son, you never stopped an elite fighter. last guy you destroyed was Soto Karass.

Yeah this would all sound great if he wasn’t giving interviews saying he isn’t going to fight Spence or Crawford. Wasn’t the fight supposed to happen in 2018?

Until Porter found his balls, everyone of those resume builders has been ducking Spence if not Crawford also.

As fans we have to fix this condition where a fighter can be exiled because they look to dominant. It robs them of legacy and the fans of a just conclusion.

Sorry bro sometimes the resume just means they weren’t afraid to fight you.

Can’t give Keith credit looking vulnerable enough to draw them in. He can say he has a better resume but being the best can’t happen when he has to establish the credential by avoiding the head to head fight.

You and I know this and when he is willing to take on all challenges and win...the throne is his. Till then he is just another front runner.

Bro... this is not a promotional thing. There are no real obstacles to Thurman vs Spence outside of Thurman.

He’s in fantasyland now. Not much chance of going like that. Pacquiao doesn’t get discouraged when he gets hit, he comes on even harder. It would require turning the lights out ala Marquez’ straight right but many have tried and failed, including Mayweather. Thurman’s Chances of landing such a punch are slim.
