Keith was a total class act after the fight.

      Props. Respect. Like so many Keith didn't make excuses after the fight and accepted the L like a professional. Yeah he talked a lot before the fight (gotta sell the fight), but a lot of fighters could learn from how he conducted himself after the fight.

      And he was definitely storming that early deficit of his in the 2nd half of the fight, but that Manny body shot derailed it. It was a hyper competitive fight, Manny had the advantage in the 1st half of the fight and Keith definitely was coming on very strong in the back half. The flash knockdown and the body shot that hurt Keith late was the difference.

      But yeah, so much credit to Keith for the class and professionalism post fight. I'll be rooting for him in his next fight.
      Yeah he was. I thought he was a complete d***head in the build up but he showed class and humility in both the post fight interviews and press conference, credit to him. Pacquiao-Thurman was a great advert for boxing.

        Keith is one of the most respectable guys in the sport. He fought Pacquiao's fight and tried to beat him at his own game. That is what real champions do when facing an ATG. It's hard to say whether Keith has the drive to continue for long at this level but if he does, he's 100% a true, admirable champion up comers can look up to.

        Casuals were spiraling over Keith's "trash talk". Keith understands boxing like the best of us. He brought the WWE factor in and created a stir. Wagering on a all or nothing performance against the biggest name and ATG active in boxing today.
