Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman II Won’t Happen
Fans of the two were expecting that Pacquiao vs Thurman II is going to be the Pac Man’s final match, but it is unlikely to happen. It now appears that Manny Pacquiao has absolutely denied Keith Thurman this opportunity and has given him a big ol’ NO.
Given the fact that this was a clear decision in favor of Pacquiao and that there was no controversial finish involved, Pacquiao’s decision to abort Pacquiao vs Thurman II is also justified. It would have made sense had it been a draw or a dirty finish between the two. Nevertheless, it is clear now that Pacquiao vs Thurman II is just not going to happen.
