Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: Thurman Is Heavy-Handed, He Hit Me Like Margarito

[Bronx2245]

Not all hook shots are power shots!?

Manny got hit too much for my taste! I think Spence and Crawford would be bad for his health!

Thurman was in the best shape of his life and it showed.

Fight of the year so far.

Thurman didn't land half that many shots on Manny. I don't care what the compubox stats said.

He landed enough for me to know that Spence or Crawford would inflict serious damage from the southpaw stance!

margarito didnt have his plaster in that fight. i guess he really didnt need that stuff then.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Keith landed as much as it said.

Watch the fight again, Manny was landing a lot of shots on Keith’s gloves and arms. Manny still did the better work and deserved the win, but Keith was still landing a fair bit of clean work.

Keith was hitting arms most of the time

Exactly! They can’t keep Floyd name out they mouth even when he ain’t the subject! They don’t get they won’t be able to elevate Pac over Floyd because Floyd is just simply better, and because every time Pac wins it makes Floyd look better.

I don't disagree because Manny is 40 and is a lot slower than his prime self. 2008-2012 Pacman would beat either in my opinion, even with the size disparity.

You do realize that the media asks them questions about Mayweather and they simply answer them, right?

I never saw Manny face a talented southpaw, so I can't speculate if he could deal with Errol or Bud, but that's besides the point. The point is he took a lot of power shots from Thurman, and I don't think Thurman is anywhere near as good as Spence or Crawford, which is why Thurman avoided them both like the plague! I suggest Manny does likewise!

Anything other than a jab upstairs is counted as a power punch. Which is why Floyd throws so many straight shots to the body.

I find it funny though: If Thurman hits "like Margarito" are we saying that Marquez who dropped and sparked him cold hits weaker than Thurman and Margarito? So then why couldn't Thurman at least drop the guy in the middle rounds? Very su****ious.

Sometimes it's the punch that you don't see that knocks you out. Ask Loma!
