Manny Pacquiao is 61–7-2's with 39 KO’s. His best days are past him as he is no longer the fighter he was when he claimed 15 victories in a row from 2005 to 2011. Pac-Man's last two fights were victories against opponents that were “tailor-made” for the 40 year old version of Pacman. He’s a fresh 40-year-old and should still possess his lightning speed and but his explosiveness isn't what they use to be. Manny is active, throws a lot of punches and moves side to side on to avoid punches but his best defense is his offense. On top of that he’s a very small welterweight that has lost his power as his last KO was in 2009 before the Matthysse win.
Keith Thurman is 30 years old and the undefeated welterweight champ with a 29-0 record with 22 KO’s. What stands out about Thurman is his adaptability. He fights different depending on the style of his opponent. Sometimes he’s aggressive, sometimes he sticks & moves other times he counterpunches. He has rather slow hand speed and often slings wild shots. He is an excellent counter-puncher with a huge uppercut. While his hands are slow his legs are fast and he counts on them to get him out of trouble.
Manny should have a big edge in hand speed and win the early rounds. The problem is that counter-punchers are Manny’s kryptonite and Thurman is a good counter puncher. Manny only fights one way, he boobs and weaves moves forward and unleashes blinding combinations with little care for defense. As the fight moves along, Thurman adjusts to Manny’s speed and times an onrush and catches him with a big uppercut ending the fight and Manny’s career. Now if you disagree with me and feel Pacman will use his speed to win round after round, take Manny by decision. His power is greatly diminished.
