Just rewatched PAC vs. Thurman....PAC outclassed Thurman majorly

[John Locke]

Lets not rewrite history. Nobody was outclassed, it was a close fight with fine margins deciding the victor.

6-6/7-5 Pac for me, if Keith didn't get caught cold in that first round, which he was winning, who knows how it would've turned out. No ifs and buts, Pacman won fair and square, but lets tell it how it is, no need to sensationalize anything

I had the fight scored 114-113 Manny. I believe I had Thurman winning 6-9,11, 12 and Manny winning 1-5 and 10 with the KD being a 10-8 rd.

that's exactly how I scored it. 1-6 and 10 for manny and the rest for Thurman. 6-6.

You should change your name Adelaide Byrd if that’s the case.

Manny CLEARLY won rounds 6 & 12. Like by a WIDE margin.
So you’re just giving rounds to Thurman for bias purposes.

Hey guys!
I found out why boxing has bad judging! Because guys like this who just want to award rounds to fights for their own bias purposes! Not even acknowledging the real truth!

The only “close” rounds were 8 & 11. 7 & 9 were won by Thurman convincingly.

Like I said, Thurman at most won only 4 rounds.


But hey, it’s people like you who continue to fuel the bad judging in boxing simply awarding rounds to fighters based on your personal bias.

At least now we know where the bad judging stems from! Or your casual a$$ is probably trying to read the Compubox lmao

You gave Thurman 4 and he gave him 6 and all of a sudden he doesn't know *****? hahaha. It was a close fight. Manny dominated 1-5 then ran out of gas. From rounds 6-9 it looks like Manny was going to be stopped. And he was losing a close 10th round before landing that body shot. The 12th started with Thurman backing manny up most of the early part of the round. In the middle, Pac got the momentum and landed some punches, but Thuman finished the round controlling it making Manny miss while landing. Neither guy got beat up in the 12th for it to be a CLEAR round, but I gave it to thurman based on what I saw.

Interesting comments here. I was one of the guys on the forum that said Thurman was to big and too strong for Pacquiao. I was surprised how well Pacquiao handled him. I enjoyed the fight and Keith fought on right to the very end. He fought like a champion in that regard. Don't get why people are hard on him. He gave it his all and came up short. Life goes on. He will be OK.

40 years old manny almost KO'd the young hippie

that's exactly how I scored it. 1-6 and 10 for manny and the rest for Thurman. 6-6.

I was at the fight so I didn't score it live, but that's about how it felt. Keith came out strong and then got KD. I was sitting so he went down towards me with his back towards me. So I obviously knew he was behind right from the start. Then up until the 5th round or so it felt like Manny was winning but I thought there was a round in there where Keith may have taken it and you could see the momentum both pushing back and forth. It wasn't a wash early on but Pac was getting some of the more flashy work. Keith was investing to the body early on it seemed and just trying to defend from Pac's flurries.

Then from 6-9 Keith was coming on strong and Pac slowed down. There were a few rounds where Keith landed a lot of powerful shots. I saw Pac dazed twice, which I hadn't seen many times before. Through the 9th I was starting to believe that Keith was going to stop Pac. Even through the early part of the 10th I thought it was still coming.

I didn't really see the body shot live, I just felt the crowd and saw Keith completely disengage to move around the ring. Once he was really moving I was thinking it was going to go south. Keith stuck it out and fought back a bit in the 10th but it was obviously a Pac round after that shot and Keith reacting like he did.

Starting round 11 the crowd was still high on the body shot and I'd now seen it on the jumbotron in the arena. I was pretty surprised Keith stayed up and did what he did after seeing the shot. The final rounds were a bit of a chess match with some back and forth action. Through the 12th it got a bit quiet unless Pac attempted a flurry. I felt like round 11 was definitely a Keith round and round 12 was close.

When I watched the fight later on my TV and scored it I gave rounds 3, 6-9,11 to Keith and 1,2,4,5,10,12 and with the KD Pac won 114-113.

Very close fight that went back and forth. I really hope this won't be Pac's last great performance and victory. I'd love to see him fight Spence, Crawford, or a rematch Thurman since it was such a close fight. Anything less I wouldn't really be interested in.

I think everyone is hard on Thurman for the same reason that doesn't need to be stated anymore.

Fight wasn’t close. I just rewatched the whole fight, and I’m not bias like these dumb posters here.

PAC won rounds 1-6, 8, 10-12.

Keith won only two rounds convincingly, 7 & 9.

8 & 11 could go either way so depending who your bias towards. But still.

That would only mean a maximum of 4 rounds for Thurman so, yeah.

He got OUTCLASSED so bad it’s not even funny.

A 30 year old in his PRIME undefeated champion, outclassed by 40 year old Pac.

Damn!

I suggest you casuals go watch the fight again before tapping. If you haven’t, then your word is not credible at all.

[FredRekk]

Just posting to remind y’all how bad a PRIME 30 YEAR OLD THURMAN got outclassed by a 40 YEAR OLD PACQUIAO.

[TonyGe]

Manny won it was an entertaining fight. Thurman underestimated him which isn't an excuse. I give Thurman credit for fighting his heart out but he lost.
