    I don’t think Thurman is very confident at all. He’s talking. N when he gets in the ring, he will be running. They say Actions speak louder.

    The fight is not going to sell on it's own just because of Pac. Have u seen his PPV numbers of late? People know he's not what he use to be and talking a lil smack not going to hurt in my opinion.

    It don't look good on him and that's the point I am trying to make. Especially since he ducked Spence and Crawford. Pac's fight with Broner sold 400 thou in PPV in the US and the live gate brought in 6 mil. that's not too shabby.

    It's not gonna be a one-sided fight. Thurman has a ring rust since he has not fought anyone for over 2 years.

    He tried to get horn out of there and especially algieri... still not sure why the ref broke it up when pac was blasting a hurt algieri on the ropes... robbed him of a stoppage

    Hard to get someone out of there when they can wrestle you without repercussions.

    Thurman is one delusional guy, he knows pac is past it and for that reason he believes he can talk like that, let him face Spence or Crawford and they will shut him up. I got Keith beating pac if he can get to 70% of what he used to be just stylistically he is a bad match for Manny however Thurman will never be where he used to be, he is less mobile, less vicious and less motivated so he is gunna come up short against the elite guys.

    That was very weird indeed. Literally pushed Pac away. Pac even thought the fight had been waved off.

    Thurman has always been a good talker, and he talks sense. He's underestimating Pac but he's been very respectful in doing so. Whether you agree with his assessments or not, its not too out there. He has been made the favourite.
