Going by the analysis made by the Pac Man’s coach, there is a good chance that Keith Thurman will lose his bout against Pacquiao. Fortune added that not only is Thurman ‘smart enough’, he’s also not ‘fast enough’ when compared to Manny.
He further added that Manny Pacquiao will win the Pacquiao vs Thurman bout because the Pac Man is better when it comes to ‘speed, strength and experience’. Having fought more than twice the matches that Thurman has, Pacquiao is indeed at an advantage here. Thurman’s supporters have been harping on the fact that he’s forty years old and that his age will be his biggest disadvantage. Fortune, however, disagrees.
