    There was a stretch in the fight where it looked like Thurman did have an avenue to victory, the more methodical approach he took coming forward landing short combos with nice body shots was effective. But Pac knew when to come back to make sure each round was close regardless and then landed a second momentum changing punch with the body shot.

    Keith hung in there though, I was pretty nervous for a while it looked like Pac got tired here and there. Thurman landed some big punches and I came away with more respect for his after seeing how he was composed in pressuring Pac, I did not know he had that, it looked good, more compact. Makes me look at a fight with him and Spence differently now seeing that side of his style (still prob comes down to Keith's soft body though).

      No doubt Keith deserves a rematch, but Pac isn't getting any younger anymore, I think I will go with most of the people here, it's Errol, Shawn, or Danny's turn now. You already used your turn mate, the hourglass has run out.

        Thurman should fight and beat Crawford or Spence to make thw rematch become bigger. I think the thurman that fought pac has a good chance to beat Spence or crawford.

          Thurman lost to a 40 year old Manny at it was 7-5 with a KD.

          Thurman also had RAZOR THIN wins over Danny and Shawn. He never rematched them.

          WW is Crawford and Spence anyways.

          I'd like to see Manny fight Mikey at 140 or possibly Loma at 140

            Keef swept 6-9, would have won Round 10 if he hadn't reacted to that body shot, and took 11 clearly.
            He damn near won rounds 2, 3 and 5. Keef was anything BUT dominated. You're letting Rounds 1-4 sway you. It was a REALLY close fight. Without the KD I had it a draw, straight up.
            Manny definitely got the first 6 with a knockdown. Keith did not dominate the rounds after that. Aside from the 10th, those rounds were a toss up.

            And did you see how Keith looked like after the fight? Comapre it to Manny's... Fits the description right

                The fact that he will never call out Spence or Crawford tells you all you need to know about Keith.

                    No you lost clearly

                    So desperate now turning around and saying it was a draw. The fight can't be scored a draw since Pacquiao had a 10-8 round and you didn't so stop making ish up

                      He's been calling out Crawford since before he left TR. Why do you think he left TR? Ironically, it's Crawford that opted to STAY with TR!
