My thought's in the Pac Thurman fight

[Spoon23]

"Now get down and pray, boy"

Pac's opponent should learn from this. Thrash talking can go sideways in a split second

-I've NEVER seen a so-called elite fighter get hit to the body and immediately freeze up the way that Thurman did. The ref looked confused. Hell, Pacquiao did too!! Pac would have finished him right there, but I think he held back coz of pity. I heard Thurman busted his ribs from that shot.

-That fight reminded me of Rocky vs Clubber Lang/Tommy Gun. Pac is a real life Rocky. 100% old school hard core.. Old veteran beating up on younger hungry LOUD opponents who want to put him in to retirement. How could anyone not respect someone like that? That fight was a real life Hollywood script. Hell of a fight.

-Thurman was a great fighter he just lost to a better man.

-Manny stood there and looked straight into Keith's soul before they touched gloves, didn't even blink, on the other hand Thurman ... looked like he felt the force, had to look at the ref a couple times. Keith knew he was gonna have to dig deep. Pac was the real deal.

-Thurman after all said and done was a classy dude for admitting defeat. Hats of to Thurman for owning up.


-Thurman has good experience fighting elite fighters over the other welterweights having fought Garcia, Porter and now Manny. He also has faced adversity many times which the other fighters haven't and overcome it. Thurman should fight Broner and could easily get a fight with the winner of Porter/Spence for two belts or potentially fight the winner of say Manny vs either the Porter/Spence winner for 3 belts or even fight perhaps Jessie Vargas at 154 for the WBO belt if he beats say Munguia. I think Thurman should work on his weaknesses in the meantime, such as improving his resistance to body shots, stamina, and more explosive punching. I hope even though he isn't likely fighting this year that he still works on things at the gym.

margarito sort of got hit by the same crunching body shot in the 4th..

Margarito took it better than Thurman. Margarito didn't need to get his mouthpiece removed that night. In Thurman's case, he was removing his mouthpiece was suppose to be a sign it's over right?

Anyway, here's a disgruntled black man who lost a huge bet. It's hilarious how angry he is for Onetime.

I think Manny should retire already, vacate the belt and give Thurman a chance to win that belt back by taking on a top contender like Bes***** or the winner of the Garcias. Then let him fill in Manny’s shoes to unify against the winner of Spence-Porter.

Manny meanwhile can take on Khan for another payday in Saudi. Then he can have a farewell match in the Philippines against any easy opponent then he can retire already.

He should retire but doesn't want to. If someone beats Pac, he will be the anointed one. IF they can't then at least they lost to an ATG.

That won't tarnish these young guns legacy. It just that Manny is a once in a lifetime fighter. Thurman has a bright future ahead. He'll make money fighting other top welters.

Thurman's tactics surprised me, I expected him to use his range and mobility rather than stand and trade.

Great fight though, big cong**** to Manny doing it for us old boys.

This would be a great way to go out but I think he'll fight on.

He couldn't use his range. Pac nullified his range. With Pac's right hooks and stiff jabs.
