Biggest mistake? It worked. He popped over and over again. That's why he outlanded him...nygga in here acting like Manny got a dominant victory. shyt was barely draw status and MAYBE one point if you want to be nice.
Thurman won only 4 or 5 CLEAR rounds. No strategy truly works if you can't win at least 7 CLEAR rounds. Plus he got dropped and hurt multiple times. Its not always about out landing nikkas. Its the quality of punches too as well as controlling the ring as well. Pac controlled what was happening in the ring for the majority of the fight.
Let's not act like Thurman was walking Pac down with a GGG jab and consistently snapping his head back. Dude wasn't active enough to walk dude down. Every time he had success, Pac would somehow snatch that shyt back. Basically showing an A level fighter that you an A+ level fighter.
I'm not even being bias with this shyt, cuz everyone in here know I'm Thurman biggest fan and been repping that nikka forever. If I thought he did enough to win, I'd be in here saying robbery, but dude just fell short. It happens.
