    - -It was competitive in credit of Keef, but Manny systematically beats him up from the gitgo.

    Look at the first KD. Thurman's noggin bounces off the deck, almost always the beginning of the end.

      PAC probably lost some brain cells in 71 fights and in particular his loss to jmm.
      But PACs IQ didn't seem behind Thurman who's IQ is supposed to be pretty good.
      PACs best of era and candidate for goat

        Manny was breaking him down up until Manny's age started showing up.

        Prime Manny would've finished the job after round 5.

          Pac picked Thurman a part by landing less punches. Way less power punches actually.

            I remember Thurman getting rocked by Josesito Lopez . Pac was the betting favorite going into the fight. Thurman wasn't supposed to KO Pac, his only route was to outbox him via Runtime. Again, great win but let's call it like it is Champ

                lol

                I ain't watching that ****. Pac won the fight, but he still took a beating from Keith. Even though Thurman performed far below my expectations he did manage to make the fight close.
                Agree, there was no dismantling, let alone a systemic one.

                  Call it like it is? Lol
                  Pac was beating someone coming off a 30 unbeaten streak win so most would say your nit picking. Floyd fans used to get excited over floyds win over Ssm who was literally coming off a one steak win over margarito.
                  So quite the drama queens Pac s critics

                    Thurman wasn't dismantled. He landed too many punches for that to even be used as a joke !!!

                    Ok, Pac did great for a guy his age (not fighting ANY SOUTHPAWS helps tremendously).

                    WTF is going on in NSB ?!?!?!?

                      Yea and I remember old ssm rocking him Floyd too hugh. You Pac fans love too assume . No one trying to discredit Pacs win, AS I SAID GREAT WIN but to ignore that Pac was the favorite and Thurman is coming off being rocked and almost stopped by Josesito Freaking Lopez put the victory in perspective. That was no dismantling, it was a close competitive fight that proves PAC is one of the best to lace them up. You Pac fans so sensitive ������
