CALIFORNIA, United States — Manny Pacquiao versus Keith Thurman is only a month away, and things are getting exciting by the minute.
As we mark 30 days before the bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, USA on July 20, a commercial for the upcoming match has created a stir online and has made fans giddy for one of the biggest fight nights of the year.
Take a look at the video from Premier Boxing Champions below:
Tale of the Tape:
Going to the tale of the tape, Pacquiao, known for his insane quickness and power has a record of 61 wins including 29 knockouts with seven defeats and two draws. Thurman has 22 KOs in 29 wins with no defeat and one no-contest is known for his heavy punches.
And in their fight in July, Pacquiao will bank on his experience to put down "One Time" in Las Vegas.
As a fearless forecast, Manny Pacquiao doesn't need to be in a rush to come up victorious against the undefeated Thurman.
Storming Thurman’s heavy punches will be the only concern for the eight-division world champion come fight night. Keeping his defense tight while not being careless like he used to, then it will be an easy W for Pacquiao.
The Philippine senator has done proving us that age is just a number.
Let’s see on the 20th of July if he proves this true once more against a younger, hungrier fighter.
