Comments Thread For: Porter: Thurman Will Try To Get Manny Out Of There Real Quick

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS Shawn Porter doesn't think Keith Thurman is lying. The WBC welterweight champion expects Thurman to try to knock out Manny Pacquiao early in their welterweight title fight Saturday night. Thurman made news Wednesday, when he said he would bet on himself at MGM Grand's sports book to win by knockout in the first round, second round and seventh round.

I don't even like Thurman but I'd be delighted if he blasted pac out early. It's time to accept a new era of boxers and leave the Floyds, pacs, Cottos, etc in the past.

That's right, let those hands go early and often.....swing for the fences.

I still think manny wins as long as he doesn’t stand in the pocket to long , especially in the early rounds.

Pac has evolved into more of a ring general as he has aged. He has under-rated footwork. He doesn't take ****** chances like he did in the 4th Marquez fight. I think he learned a thing or two from the Floyd fight. I would be shocked if Thurman sparked him out. I just don't think Thurman is that good, and I don't consider him a big puncher. It will be a close decision one way or the other.

That’s Keith’s only chance of winning, by staying aggressive the first 6 rounds and hope for a KO but if Thurman keeps on throwing those wide punches, he can forget his wager. He’s gonna get caught with a straight left followed by combos after combos.

Go on, sell the fight Shawn. We all know what REALLY will happen.

Hearing porter and Danny (both guys loss to thurman) talk about what thurman should do it sounds like both of them is trying to set thurman up for failure. I don't think going right at manny early on is a smart gameplan. I've always said Keith should be patient, box, and use movements.

[OPS]

Now, I agree with Porter's analysis in comparison to Twinkie Wright.
If Thurman does not finish Pacquiao early, I got Manny by decision. On the other hand, I do worry that the judges will be biased because One Time is a young lion and to keep things interesting in the WW Division, they will favor Keith. Manny has been robbed by the judges before, to prevent the inevitable Manny needs to war- go out on his shield. I would not leave this fight to chance.

Manny was breaking up Marquez had him ready to go lunged walked into beautiful counter right. No one has ever went straight at attacking Manny and kod him his buzzsaw multi angle reply would stop Thurman
