Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman on July 20

[Oceat]

That's why we love Freddie, Pacman doesn't open his mouth, but we love Freddie doing the trash talking. I don't know if Pacman can KO Thurman, but definitely, Pacman is on a mission right now. He seems to be energise and I won't be surprised if he can get the KO.

If Thurman can bring his trash talking in action, we might see a knock down and I hope it's gonna be Thurman.
A similar fight result of Pacman against Lucas Matthysse would be enough to make this game very entertaining, coming from the Pacman fan. 

I know right?

I read a meme on Facebook about Thurman betting big money to knockout Manny in Round 3, Manny responded with Thank you for your donation. Never thought that this is true but this is the link about it. Manny is really funny and amazing.

I also see a meme about him betting to knock down Pacman but the best reply of Pacman was "thank you for your donation".
This guy really believed that he can knock Pacman down? Well, i saw those interview of them too, it seems that Pacman was not impressed by his too showy of his skill. Pacman just think that it will be very different inside the ring than outside the ring.

Keith Thurman maybe dangerous but I think Manny is more dangerous than Keith even Keith is younger than Manny.

Every opponent is dangerous for Pacman

A professional boxer won't take his opponent as something that he can ignore and be comfortable with. Boxing is like any other sports that with just a simple and single mistake, the whole game can turn around.

They can tell such words to make them look better and increase their courage but inside of them it's about the focus that they are giving to their training and they know that they shouldn't treat their opponent as an underdog.

I am excited already watch Manny Pacman Pacquiao to fight again. I have analyzed tha due to age Manny could go slow down and power punches could also be gone on some percentage as he got more age. Anyway, the Manny pacman Pacquiao fighting style could still be there and that is what makes every Filipino enjoying watching Manny Pacman Pacquiao fight.

Age is one of the major factor but as what many shown in his previous fight his aggressiveness is still their, as long as he wanted to fight, we will just trust to him because he knows better about his conditions  than somebody else.

You are right, he knows his body more than anyone else and all we could do as his followers is to speculate on what could happen in his fight. But the way i see it, Manny maybe older than Thurman but speedwise he is faster than Thurman either.

Keith Thurman maybe dangerous but I think Manny is more dangerous than Keith even Keith is younger than Manny.

And I thought I am the only one thinking this. Despite the age gap, there is also the fighting experience. And also note that this is 2nd fight after he became inactive, that can also be something that affects the fight. After Thurman's rehabilitation, and maybe even a lot of boxers after sometime off the ring, they will feel that difference when they are fighting and Thurman is not just fighting anyone, he's fighting Pacquiao that despite his Senator duries, continue to climb the ring to defend and to pick a fight.

Why people bet on Thurman against Pacman is because Pacman is already old, but if we look at his last two fights where he dominate the 2 younger opponents, thurman should be no different, other than an undefeated champion. What we might see is a Pacman's retirement or Thurman's first loss, I know with all these trash talking of Thurman, this makes Pacman more dedicated to work hard in this fight to prove that he is still the man to beat and he is back for those who don't believe yet after two fights of convincing win.

Tell that to Anthony Joshua. He feels comfortable of beating Andy Ruiz, just a replacement, too fat, and slow and look what happen to him. Upset of the year and now his big fight schedule is ruin. Or even to Mike Tyson, who was KO was Buster Douglas because he didn't train enough because he thinks he is invincible and felt comfortable as well.

Many people saying that Pacman is strong but already old so, that I will bet on Thurman because he is young and strong. Well, the fight on July 20 will tell the answer if who will win and lose.

[Johnyz]

I'm very excited about this match because it's the time where Thurman will be a loser.

Keith Thurman maybe dangerous but I think Manny is more dangerous than Keith even Keith is younger than Manny.

Take note, manny pacman is still physically fit so it's not about the age, it is how the person fights and stays on the ring.

Manny might look old compare to Thurman but I think the ability to fight is still with Manny and he's still so fit for this fight. We will witness another world champion fight, and for sure Manny will go home with another belt. Keith Thurman will taste his first loss, but its an honor to lose on a legend fighter.

Same thing if ever Manny will be defeated by Thurman, it's also an honor to fight with this young Champ, we will witness another good challenging fight coming from the fighting Senator, a challenge with his capabilities to defend his belt and to still amused the world for his fighting skills.

It's all be witness whoever will win this fight surely gained the attention of sports communities.

You serious?lol look and compared them you’ll find the maturity look in Thurman compared to Manny

But ofcourse age will dictate that Pacman is older than Keith

but I think the ability to fight is still with Manny and he's still so fit for this fight.

In terms of ability?both fighters has that and we cannot deny reality of these two are great fighter

We will witness another world champion fight, and for sure Manny will go home with another belt. Keith Thurman will taste his first loss, but its an honor to lose on a legend fighter. 

Indeed this would be one of the greatest fight we will witnessing since Manny Pacquiao is considering retirement also so the chance of this for being his last fight is one possibility

I hope you are right, but I'm afraid not. hehe.. Pacman will win the fight and pacman backers will be happy after the fight as we have money to spend to celebrate.

I am sure all the gambling site owners will be praying for a win by Thurman. In case Pacquiao wins, it will put them in loss as a lot of the users have made their bets in his favor (especially from the Philippines and from the Filipino diaspora abroad). In case Pacman wins, then his supporters will be left with enough money to party all night...

I think you don't understand how the sportsbook works.
They don't loss, they are just facilitators, it's the gamblers who are betting against each other, odds or line are just adjusted when too much money in one side. Like in this fight, Manny started as dog, now he is the favorites, meaning, the money is going to pacman.

[Rufsilf]

I'll place a small bet on Thurman. I like underdogs .

Much better mate, who knows he'll defeat the defending champion pacman. Time can tell on this match whose to bet with, but what's important with Thurman is he shouldn't be much aggressive. Pacman is intelligent boxer which do counter punches. Being challenger it must be studied deeply before engaging.

As far as I know Manny Pacquiao is an aggresive boxer. With his speed, he is more of a puncher than a counter puncher. I don't know how Thurman plays but if he will be aggresive, he would be exchanging with lightning fast punches from Pacquiao. If he's not ready with that, we can witness a knockout. I guess they will be observing some of his fights from Morales to Broner. His style might not be that of Mayweather since that style really makes Pacquaio aggresive that led Mayweather to throw clean punches at him.

He sure is an aggressive boxer with strong punches and speed, he might be old but I think he still has the moves that will surely surprise Thurman. I think this match will be very challenging to both since they all have there own weakness but I will still vouch for Manny no matter what.

I disagree, Manny maybe old now but I think he still have those skills that helped him win titles. For me, age doesn't really matter, Manny Pacquiao prepared for this fight and I know he can win this fight because he has more experience than Thurman.

Having the necessary skill-set is one thing and maintaining the energy level during a 12-round match is another. Out of these two fighters, no one would deny that Manny Pacquiao is the more skilled one. But I am not sure whether he will be able to avoid exhaustion during the final rounds, in case the fight goes to the 12th round without a KO.

Only those who have put a lot of bets on Thurman will pray to get the win. Gambling sites owners doesn't care who wins or not, as long as gamblers are willing to go to their sites and put a lot of money.

But I guess, Manny being the favorite now and the shift shows the he still commands a lot of followers amongst Filipinos around the globe.

That's for sure, Manny has a lots of fans who loves to bet on him that's why the line changes.
When these two boxers are making money in the fight, sportsbook are also making money since it's a popular fight and this type of people, people will always put some bet while watching it, and I'm guilty on that.

[Vishnu.Reang]

The odds may be favoring Manny as of now, but still in my opinion Keith Thurman is having a better chance of winning the fight. Anyway just 12 days to go for the event, and the long wait is about to be finished. This fight is more important for Thurman, as his promotional deals may take a hit in case Manny is able to upset him with a KO or a unanimous decision.

I can say the odds just flip now but that doesn't mean Manny or Thurman will easily win, just forget about the odds, that's only compute the return of your money if you bet own, if you are for Thurman, you can get a good return.

Bet on the fighter than you think will win and of course the fighter than you love so comes the fight night, you will enjoy it even if it will not go on your expectation.

12 days to go and more days to put your bets everyone. Philippines will be another ghost town when the fight starts because everyone is on their local TV, radio's watching and listening the fight.

Definitely 50/50 to me, I'm a Manny fan, but we cant sleep with a fighter like Thurman's caliber, very young and hungry to give Manny his last paycheck and retire him for good.
