    This seems like such a bad strategy by Thurman I feel like its a misdirection for Roach who might believe Thurman cuz a stand n fight angle is how Roach always wants to see things work out so he might be inclined to wanna believe it.

    But idk the upside of it if Roach does believe it or why else Thurman would be saying it if he didn't intend to take that approach so idfk whats up honestly.

    I definitely don't feel the odds are great that Thurman can KO Manny early so it seems more of a risk for Thurman to take that approach.

      Lol yea thats the way I see this going if Manny wins. Maybe or maybe not with a stoppage doe.

      If Thurman comes to **** with Manny I can easily see him get dropped early & have to reaccess his plans like he's had to do before when hurt. I don't foresee Thurman pulling a SSM or AB exactly doe either. I think he'll make an attempt to actually win unlike those two.

      That said I'm still picking Thurman, but Manny without question has paths to victory here.

        He did that against Danny. Came out ****ing and then reverted to easily outboxing when the iron jawed Danny was barely budging after getting tagged. Also, that was an injured Thurman who hardly sparred for that fight.

        I fully believe Keith will attack Manny as he should if he's healthy. Manny is 40 years old, small, and has never fought well going backwards. Keith should fully crank up the pressure early on and test the waters.
