Pacquiao Now Stands as Favorite vs Thurman — Sportsbooks

[Vishnu.Reang]

Thurman looks scarier on the fight but I sense he is quite nervous coming to this fight, he seems intimated and does things very awkward or he knows that Pacquiao is his biggest test, he's been saying that he is the one that will retire Pacquiao, but I don't think even Mayweather cannot do it.

If we check the basics, then Thurman definitely has the advantage now. He is younger, and his recent form has been pretty good. On the other hand, Manny may be a bit rusty due to his lack of involvement in the boxing scene for many months. But the insults rained down on Manny by Thurman was of bad taste. It is not going to do him any good, when the real fight happens next month.

This is like the NBA finals, Raptors is the underdog and people are rooting for the Warriors to win the championship.

You cannot compare this with the NBA

You don't understand the point that I'm saying. I've said that this is like the NBA finals, there's no comparison. I'm relating the situation now about the odds with the NBA finals that just ended and the view of the people about being the underdog and the supreme choice of people.

Well, same situation as Raptors but different level of playing because NBA is a fight of a team while boxing only plays between 2 fighters. Boxing are unpredictable because we don’t know what will happen on the ring and we don’t know if Pacquiao really have the advantage once they take on the court, we only see the numbers through their previous fights.

I don't know why people do try to compare it with basketball but if we do mentioned nor talk about Underdogs generally

There would always be a tendency for having a chance to beat out the dominating one but this one is quite awkward or unusual.
We know the standing of Thurman but we can already presume or do see on whose much better when it comes to stats.

I don't think we can say Pacman as an underdog by just basin on the age gap because despite the age Pacman is still a very strong opponent to Thurman because he has a lot of experience. Thurman maybe undefeated but he is young and doesn't have much of experience in terms of boxing. I think it will be an interesting match for the two of them.

LOL.... Do you think that Keith Thurman is inexperienced? He may be young (not sure whether we can call someone at 30 years as old), but he has 12 years of experience in boxing. He fought against (and lost to) Demetrius Andrade in 2007. I know that Manny is very experienced, but that doesn't mean that for this fight he is taking on a rookie with only a few years of experience.

Those odd makers has based a lot of factors on why they think Pacquiao is an underdog so leave it like that. Also, Thurman has also a experience boxer, he is a champion so I think it already speaks for itself. Of course when Manny Pacquiao fight it's always exciting regardless of who the opponent is.

I never thought of an 8th time division world champion would be an underdog. It seems OP has no good analysis when it comes to a match like this. An experience one vs. a new one in this league would overpower the old one.

Maybe, if he thinks that Manny is so old enough for a fight but I do not think coach Roach would allow Manny to fight if Manny is capable.of bringing down an opponent.

Don't judge into final conclusions yet, let's see what manny can do towards his opponent around the ring corner. Age cannot be based on how a boxer can fight, just take more reviews on pacman fights and you'll be enlightened how this Filipino champ had survived his career and became wealthy boxer.

Guys, that's not the point of what I'm saying. It's not about the game style or strategy of each team/individual on how to win. What I'm saying is about the people's point of view during these fights. The odds are almost the same, they look at Raptors and Pacquiao as underdogs and yet the Raptors won and became the champion. I'm not talking about how they would win or how it's possible for them to win but how the people looked upon them.

I agree with your last statement when Manny fight there's a lots of excitement to watch out, though he's not the same young blooded fighter like when he's still young who always aiming for a good opportunity to knock out his opponents, but he still have the winning instinct, loving this game and fight with
full dedications will be expected to this fighting senator, good odds for Manny's fans here.

Many Pacquiao is older than Thurman is still young, but age doesn't matter when its comes to boxing fight and Pacman is always prepared for his game no matter what he do everything like practicing. So, I think he can do it. Especially to win the fight rather.

Pacman is a successful guy on his career in boxing as well as being a senator of his motherland Philippines. Even if he didn't make it to winning legacy on winning for Thurman, that not a problem with him. He's a one of the top paid fighter on this fight, I guess his preparation is long enough to perform the fight that will not disappoint everybody who been following his career eversince he was still an amateur fighter.

Who says that Raptors is a underdog.though for me it's wrong.but well we are not talking about NBA we talking about Pacman and Thurman.never estimate the ability and capacity of our Idol Manny Pacquiao.even Thurman is younger than Pacman I know Thurman is the underdog in this game.the game is coming let's see and I know Manny gonna show us that he is a champion for the boxing ring.what ever you say that it's just a number of previous fights but that's the proof that Manny is the champion.

[GreatArkansas]

His attention is so much divided, esp. now that he's very much needed in the Philippine senate (yes, he's a senator in his country), as the midterm senatorial elections have just concluded.

Add also his upcoming concert on September 1, 2019 at Quezon City, Philippines. Do you think that this event will have an effect to his fight vs Keith Thurman?
But even his attention is so much divded, Manny Pacquiao has still his focus for the boxing since it's still the fight for the country of Philippines.

I think one strong advantage of Pacquiao is his true dedication to this boxing sports. If you will check his interviews, you can feel that he is still a humble person despite all the riches he has. Unlike Moneyweather, he flaunts all his riches, posting photos counting money and all his material possessions. Maybe, that's the reason why I like this boxer, his humbleness and his passion towards this sports.

"I’m not thinking about the odds. I’m thinking about my condition and focused on my training. Make sure I’m 100 percent condition on the night of the fight," Pacquiao said.

[Jating]

"I’m not thinking about the odds. I’m thinking about my condition and focused on my training. Make sure I’m 100 percent condition on the night of the fight," Pacquiao said.

And that is the attitude that push to Pacquaio to the pinnacle of boxing. He is humble even after the post fight interview in his win fights he is still down to earth. He just focuses on boxing, but I do think that he is somewhat affected by the trash talking. But he would rather let his hands fly and do the talking though.

So good mentality for him to be prepare to win the fight because of his hard training and dedication.

[mirakal]

"I’m not thinking about the odds. I’m thinking about my condition and focused on my training. Make sure I’m 100 percent condition on the night of the fight," Pacquiao said.

That's him being honest and does speak what he does, we will surely see some good performance from him comes the fight night.


To OP, maybe it's time to consider changing the thread title as the current line does not speak on the title anymore.
It's currently, Thurman who stands underdog against Pacman in most sportsbook.

That really he is since from the start, people loves Manny because he remains from what he is.
Thurman is one of those big mouth boxers, yet he proves something but it is too far from how Manny is shown to us. Keeping himself humble and his passion for boxing sports has actually built a strong reputation even though if he loses against Thurman.
