Comments Thread For: Thurman Felt He Needed Knockdown To Win After Taking Body Shot

[DannYankee]

A fighter who speaks objectively about his close fight? What kind of sorcery is this?

[D4thincarnation]

He did.

Thurman

[Boxing Goat]

One of the all time greats showed that he still has it (Pacquiao)and one of great fighters (Thurman)fought his ass off. Great job all the way around Al Haymon🥊

To be honest, i was rooting for Pac and the fight went as I expected with one caveat.......KT showed some real guts and resiliency that I wasn't 100% sure that he had. He had me really worried at times. He was getting on Manny bigtime on the ropes at times and had me flashing back to the Horn fight. It used to be a death wish to try and fight Pacman on the ropes like that and Keith managed to do it in spots. Big props

Props to Keith for simply speaking the truth.

It was a tough loss for him but if he decides to carry on he’s just one win away from being right back in the hunt.

It’s a screwy division, no one in the division has a better resume.

Nothing to be ashamed of Thurman. You fought like a true champ

[robbyheartbaby]

That body shot that Pacquiao landed was the most clutch punch he's landed in his entire career. It pretty much won him the fight.

I totally agree I really thought Thurman worked his way back into the fight well from the middle rounds onwards. I think Manny only really won it by a point.

[robbyheartbaby]

I just can't believe Manny pulled that off, at 40 years old I was totally wrong in my prediction. Thurman certainly worked his way back into the fight but Manny deserved the nod after that KD in the first. Crazy.

Thurman is now ready to rumble with Crawford!?!

6 rounds each! Thurman is not throwing more than Pac after the first round and waits to counter effectively.

[Squ□redCircle34]

Respect to him for taking his L like a man and his first L at that!

He fought a true champions fight and should be proud of his efforts!

He just happened to face a once in a generational living legend who still has just the bit of precipice of skills that most don’t even have a sniff of!

Pac has nothing left to prove but further his rankings in the All time greats conversations at this point due to the ridiculous circumstances he’s at odds against!

He moved up to top 35 all time after this legendary feat at his age! Pacman back in p4p convo once after 2 different eras, incredible!
