"Thurman was out ******** til 3am prior to fight" ~ Broner

[Thuglife Nelo]

Thurman staying up late didn't affect the fight in any way

Not like he was partying and getting *****ed up

It's absolutely normal to be filled with adrenaline and excitement the night before your biggest day.

Keith had plenty of energy to be alert during the fight

So the concept of fans saying a fighter ''was drained'' (which is why he couldn't perform), you think this physical obstacle is even easier when you're not rejuvenating? It't not about sleeping very late in the AM and getting 8 hours to then wake up at 12PM. The body best rejuvenates at 12:00-3:00AM. That's a fact and a science. So if you are fighting at 158lbs on fight night from 147 the night before you best believe cells need the proper H20 to feel ripped and ready.

Here come the excuses. Broner is a jack ass and a liar and still mad at Pac for kicking his ass. Thurman is a champion and he was not up until 3 am the night before the most important fight of his career. That's a ****** lie and a poor excuse. Thurman fought well but Pac fought a little better and won. Get used to it.

^^^^^^^^ on point like always

You know what I didn't think about that at all. That he would need rest & recovery for rehydration

[KayDub]

Sounds like a good way to relax and take your mind off the fight

Lots of fighters shift their sleep routines so they can wake up later and be ready for a fight at 10/11pm.

If he was drinking and partying then that's different.

Doesn't mean anything. Thurman was ready.


Nothing worse than waking up on fight day and having to find something to do with yourself for 12 hours to a fight in Vegas Screw that.

I don't think Thurman was at 100% but I think he was ready. I think he would've done it if he didn't get kd. It was a super close fight. Pacquiao won a couple rounds bigger than Thurman but Keith had a really good stretch of rounds midway through the fight.

An inch more from Thurman could've won that fight.

Pacquiao is incredible, as always. Another historic moment in boxing brought to us by Manny Pacquiao.

Really puts into perspective how good Floyd and Manny both were. Once in a lifetime type of fighters and we got 2.

Daniel Jacobs was very responsible doing this as was GGG and many fighters who come READY TO WAR PROPER yet are skeletons at weighins. The best athletes of any sport sleep early.

As a matter of fact..

Have you ever gone to the gym and did a massive workout but slept late and the next day nothing really surprising?

vs...

You do a massive workout, sleep early, wake up early, your muscles are dense and tight, you feel the GAIN in your mass!!

This is why Thurman is a big disappointment. All Haymon tricks

[NC Uppercut]

Broner claiming the hood & he out here snitching. Wut in the f#ck with this dense mfer.

I know right

[KillaCamNZ]

At least he has money to gamble. Broner spends his time begging for dimes - literally.

[paulf]

Done want to hear a word outta the mouth of a guy whose best win was against a shot Malignaggi twenty years ago.

Dude is a pretender and continues to talk. Whatever.

[boxinggod101]

Is that the new excuse?

[chargerhemi06]

It’s just his way of dealing with pre fight anxiety. Everyone has anxieties and ways to cope with it. I’m sure pac was anxious too but he probably just sung karaoke and prayed.
