Comments Thread For: Thurman: I Want Pacquiao Rematch, Our Fight Was a Draw!

lol!!! ..... No, Keith, you lost that fight fair and square.

Though you put up a valiant effort, the tide was against you from the very beginning and you never overcame the many waves coming at you.

He did overcome..a knock down, busted nose & a body shot.

Lol is this a joke?

I’m still shocked that the fight was a split decision win for Pac. It was competitive fight but with a clear winner , Pac. I had it 8 rds to 4 . Even if you try to stretch it for Thurman there is no way he won more than 5 rds and that would be a gift .

I gave Manny rounds 1,2,3,10.

Thurman deserves the rematch. He was the champ. The former unified champ.

But Manny's priority are the other belts.

Maybe the rematch happens down the line and then Thurman cashes out like Bradley and becomes a commentator for PBC.

Keith was too overconfident to stipulate a rematch clause on the contract emphasized only for Manny. Why??...

I bet you now wish you would've added that rematch clause for yourself as well.

For real! LOL

rematch will be even easier for manny this time around. pac got thurman figured out in the early rounds where as for thurman he was JUST starting to figure pac out in the later rounds.

so in the rematch thurman will look to start where he left off (trying to figure pac out) where as for manny, he'll know what to expect from thurman already and know how to compose himself for the later rounds (if it goes that far).

Agreed. I did notice what Floyd said about Manny before this fight with Thurman. He said Manny sets traps all the time and you have to be very careful. He will throw a meaningless punch or move to a spot just to set up his power shots at different angles and different spots. And like you said, Thurman was trying to figure out Manny throughout the fight. I think Manny would take a rematch versus Thurman or get in there with Porter or Garcia. And he has proven to not be afraid of anyone. I can also see him now in a competitive fight against Spence and Crawford to after watching the Thurman replay 3 times. Thurman is no slouch and he is young with power and boxing ability with wins against Porter and Garcia. With that being said, I don’t want him taking the fights against Spence or Crawford.

can we ban j for ******ity?

You just mad I keep shining light

Pacquaio won clearly, end of story. But good effort by Thurman, who is still in the frame for another big fight in the future, although it's hard to see him beating Crawford or Spence.

Get back in line Keith. EARN YOUR WAY BACK. !!!!! Fight Ugas or Danny Garcia.

No, rematch.

Pac vs D Garcia or M Garcia. Porter fight doesn't make sense for him due to Porters fight style (similar to Jeff Horn). Just a bad matchup. Spence fight not s good matchup for Pac. Spence needs to move up to fight Canelo. That's a fight that makes sense for Spence. He's too big for Welters.

Nah, he's right where he should be. Funny thing is I didn't hear people saying Paul Williams was too big for his division..lol

Thurman won all the middle rounds decisively. From 5-9 was all Thurman until he got hurt with that body shot in the 10th. Bear in mind, Pac got hurt with a shot in that very same round as well. People are acting like Pac wasn't hurt in the fight need to stop it.

Nobody cares what rounds he allegedly "won". Pac did whatever he wanted with Thurman all fight. He decided to take a rest in middle rounds, not Thurman overtook it. And Pac turned battering on again battering exactly to comfortably win the fight.

And Pac never was hurt in that fight. He took a damage but as Jacobs call it "sure, I saw flashlight with stars for a moment but wasn't hurt". While Thurman looked hurt and vulnerable at least twice and I don't include him being bleeding and shaken
