Thurman throws shade about Pacquiao as true loser of bout against Horn in 2017

An aggressive and animated WBA welterweight title holder Keith Thurman described opponent Manny Pacquiao as the real loser against Jeff Horn on their 12-round fight last July 2017.

In an interview with Marcos Villegas of Fight Hub, Thurman did not stop himself from describing how Pacquiao poorly fought against Horn.

It can be recalled that many boxing analysts and fans believed that it was Pacquiao who really won the fight against Horn.

On the interview Thurman reiterated that it was only one out of 12 rounds that Pacquiao dominated during the whole fight.

“It was a draw. What did he do? Round-by-round, what did he do? 12 rounds! He didn’t have him out — in one round (he had him hurt)! Can you count?! Fool, can you count?! OK, so what’s one minus 12? So explain 11 more times what the fuck he did!”

Thurman even showed how Pacquiao just duck to get away with Horn’s attacks and added: “Jeff Horn was a real man, Manny Pacquiao you don’t got nothin”

For weeks, Thurman kept on bombarding Pacquiao with threatening and insulting statements of beating the 8-division world champion.

The 12-round WBA welterweight title unification fight between Pacquiao and Thurman is on July 20 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
