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

[STORMVSXIII]

Not at all , I think he will try to slow Manny down with body shots at first , if that doesn't work he'll start moving around more to slow the pace down

If thurman trades he gets will get rocked to sleep early and if he boxes Pac will demoralize him for 12

That's exactly what I believe. I expect Thurman to come out early in order to test Manny. To see how hard Pac hits and to test whether or not he can hit or hurt Manny.

For example, if Keith feels that he can hurt Manny and back him up without feeling his power, then I expect Thurman to collapse the pocket in order to finish Pac off.

However, once Keith comes out early to test Manny, feels his power and realizes that he can't either hurt, hit or back Pac up, then expect Thurman to get on his bicycle to move and box.

Problem is for someone like Pac Thurman telegraphs his punches, I can see Manny taking a step back and throwing that straight down the pipe everytime followed with either a left or a bolo punch. Thurman will be on his bike by the 3rd round.

If Thurman does this than that's exactly what Pacquiao and team have been baiting him to do. They want Thurman to stay true to his word and come forward. It plays into Pacquiao's favor because Pac-Man is a solid counterpuncher and has solid power. If Thurman gets reckless Pacquiao can clip him and hurt him. Remember, THIS is what Pacquiao and team have been urging Thurman to do. So it's a dangerous territory if he actually decides to do it. Either way Pacquiao has prepared for anything Thurman brings to the table.

Thurman ain't doing s h i t. He can't outbox Manny, out think Manny out feint Manny or outspeed Manny. Thurman is average with decent fundamentals.

When did he get somebody out really quick?

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.

A new era of MEDIOCRE. These chumps today could not even be top ten when Manny, Floyd, Cotto, Margarito et all were trolling the water. The three stooges, Porter, Thurman and Garcia are relative jokes.

notice you left out Crawford and Spence. They're current welterweights and would've given those other welters you mentioned all they could handle.
