***Did the "CRUCIFY" comment work against Keith??

[Redd Foxx]

Manny was clearly very upset at Keith Thurman saying he would crucify him. Manny's anger at this was brought up multiple times and I saw a genuine glimpse of hate flash in Manny's eyes when he was asked about it in an interview.

I truly think this made Pacquiao more aggressive in training and in the fight. I know it's a stretch to think a phrase can have such an influence but to a guy like Pac, I think a comment like that can change his outlook and motivation.

What say you? Did Keith *** himself over when he made that comment?

I’d say it was a contributing factor in terms of motivation for Pacquiao. I think overall Pacquiao just proved he was, even at 40, still a superior fighter to Thurman.

Pacquiao's outspoken claim to the universal moral high ground because of his Christian faith is the main reason I always cheer against him now. It's annoying AF when that stuff gets flaunted like crazy.

Keith is done suspected after the Lopez fight confirmed after the Pacquiao fight

Thurman will lose to DSG too if he wants to take that route

I think a lot of the things Keith said likely impacted Manny's desire to show him up on fight night. I mean f#ck man Manny ended that second(?) round with the Pacquiao shuffle & sh^t.

I think so. Manny is deeply religious, this is the only way to anger Manny and it worked against him. Manny was wild, and was punishing Keith every chance he could.

Outside of Marquez 4, I can't remember the last time I've seen Manny look that hungry. It's been a long time. He wasn't just trying to win exchanges for a points victory this time, he looked like he was trying to hurt the guy.

I've always noticed in the Marquez 4 that Pacquiao looked like he wanted to kill Marquez. I guess Marquez whining about robberies burned him.

Do you think so?

I just thought Pacquiao’s timing, speed and angles gave him problems he hadn’t previously faced. He struggled early on but I felt he found some timing and confidence in the 6th round and showed some good traits throughout the second half of the fight.

I’d still pick him to beat Danny tbh, his style is just all wrong for DSG IMO.
