More from "Kool" Keith Thurman...this time on the outcome of May 2nd:
Thurman Breaks Down 5/2, Sides With Mayweather

WBA 'regular' welterweight champion Keith 'One Time' Thurman gave a breakdown of the upcoming mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. The welterweight unification is scheduled for May 2nd from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Thurman is technically the WBA's mandatory challenger to the Mayweather-Pacquiao winner. He holds the WBA's 'regular' title and Mayweather-Pacquiao will have the WBA's 'super title' at stake. The WBO/WBC titles will also be up for grabs in the contest.
Thurman expects some wild waters for Mayweather, but still sides with him to come away with the victory.
"I see Manny Pacquiao using his speed. We know Mayweather is very crafty, he's very slippery - and he holds. One thing that people don't give him a lot of credit for, is that he strategically holds a fighter so they can break and then he can get back on his feet and get back on the outside. I'm interested in how Floyd is going to deal with Manny's speed. I'm interested in how Manny is going to deal with Floyd's speed," Thurman said.
"I expect Floyd to pot-shot that right hand all night, line it up and fire. He's going to use the jab, a stiff one to the solar plexus like he likes to do, he will switch up his power punches. I expect Floyd to be on his toes and pot-shotting. I don't expect combinations out of Floyd Mayweather. I expect a lot of movement and strategic punching and strategic holding, and maneuvers to stay away from the danger of Manny Pacquiao."
"Now Manny Pacquiao throws punches from some awkward angles and I think that will benefit him in the fight. I think it would be wise for Manny to come in with a little bit of feinting and head movement. I think he is definitely a tougher opponent than Marcos Maidnaa. I lean towards Floyd [to win], because he hasn't shown us anything to doubt, to believe that he is still not the pound for pound [king]."

I agree 100% in his assessment on how he believes the fight will play out. I see it the same

the last two times mayweather fought someone he was bigger and stronger than, he got a knock down (marquez) and a knock out (hatton)Exactly how I see the fight going, been trying to tell people here same shyt.

i dont think hes gonna fight the same way hes been fighting boxers that are bigger and stronger than him and can cut off the ring
but regardless, mayweather can win this fight like 3-4 or 4 different ways
pacquaio can only win one way
and hes made it clear hes gonna try the same game plan that everyone else
left handed or not, good luck with that
Whatever it may be he is not running through manny

theres a good possibility he makes manny look ordinary on may 2
but if he does, you know the excuses are coming

I see Floyd trying to implement a bit of what he did with Maidana in the 2nd fight and throw a lead right and grab. Problem with doing that with Manny is he won't be there as often and or won't be so inviting to stay there with Floyd unlike Maidana who really had no choice because of how slow his feet are (but still managed to close the distance).
People will say otherwise, but a little reckless Manny will get him a long way. Floyd won't implement the same strategy that gave Marquez success because that means he'll have to take risks. Floyd will be in an ugly fight before risking anything, but I think both Manny and Freddie know that. Floyd's going in with a few gameplans, so Manny and Freddie better bring a few as well. Not an easy night though for either guy.

nahAnd if the opposite happens you dudes still won't give Manny his props
if manny beats floyd mayweather jr fair and square i will give him full credit
i'll be
on the inside but i'll give credit where it due. the last thing i wanna be is these fans who spend 8 weeks saying "this guy is gonna be the one to beat mayweather etc" and then after they are wrong there's nothing but excuses
luckily for me, i won't have that problem
mayweather by TKO
