Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman: I'm Not A Big Fan Of Manny Pacquiao's Defense

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS Manny Pacquiao pointed out during the buildup toward his showdown with Keith Thurman that there are obvious holes in Thurman's defense he'll be able to exploit. The feeling is more than mutual. When watching Pacquiao, Thurman sees a vulnerable southpaw who commits to his offense without paying much mind to protecting himself. That, Thurman predicted, will provide him with all the opportunities he'll need to hurt the reckless Filipino legend in exchanges Saturday night at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Mannys offense and legs are his defense. Thurman has never seen this footwork angles 12 punch combos speed and relentless style who had that porter ?

That’s why PAC has been a huge ppv draw for years and you r getting ur 1st ppv main event BECAUSE of Manny!! Ur Run/Hold style and pray for a decision win sux!!!

The way thurman is underrating pac will be his downfall. As fans/haters we can say these things but his opponents shouldn’t. Pac will definitely show him new angles because of his footwork. Not only that, but, pac can actually box... if thurman werent so full of himself maybe team Mayweather would be in his corner to tell him these things. All his talking has pushed me from no dog in the fight to hoping pac hurts him lol (just in the fight for clarification).

I'll take the original boxing strategy of the ancients of "Killed or be killed" over "run and not get hit" anyday!

Teddy Atlas has said much the same; Pacquiao has fundamental flaws that he was able to get away with in the past because of his exceptional speed, but--much like Roy Jones Jr.--diminish that speed and his vulnerability skyrockets.
