I went with a Thurman decision
Hesitantly though...
I think if he is focused enough and gets some of his fire back to a big fight like this he can put on a better performance than last time. Thurman is a good boxer and Manny kinda always struggled with high level dudes who could box him. Now Thurman is no defensive wizard like Mayweather but he can box off his backfoot for 12 rounds if he thinks that gonna lead him to victory, he doesn't care if he has to stink out the joint for the W which can come handy against Pac. Pac too old to play catch up with Thurman and cutting off the ring was never his strength anyway.

I think Thurman is gonna try to stand his ground against Manny and push him back at first. If that doesn't work the way he wants, he'll box him off the backfoot. I see Keith trying to bait Manny for a check left as he's lunging in, which is where I could see a knockdown coming.
I just wonder how Thurman will deal with the handspeed and awkward angles of Pac. Thurman's wide/loopy punches will give Manny some openings

idk about a knock down cause Pac used to have a good chin, JMM caught him with a perfect shot it didn't matter how good his chin there.
After the JMM KO loss though he got rocked by fighters who normally shouldn't have rocked him, even Algieri shook him.
Imo it's a bad idea for Keith to hang in the pocket with Pac. Why give that chance to the smaller, shorter armed but fast opponent?

Look for him not only trying to catch him on the way in but on the way out. I'm curious to see his reaction to getting hit with one of those "One Times" & if it changes his approach

attitude as bad as his odor
Can’t go wrong with any of those odds. Keith is officially the underdog now though.
Thurman always struggled vs southpaws pay attention...

Some say this but only cause Collazo got him with a bodyshot. He beat Guerrero rather comfortably and he also stopped Collazo. I don’t see that southpaw problem yet. His toughest fight was Porter who’s othodox stance
