Pacquiao hits Thurman: I’m not a newbie

Filipino boxing champion Sen. Manny Pacquiao had enough of his opponent’s trash-talking.

Pacquaio responded to Thurman during his training in Los Angeles.

Thurman vowed to send Pacquiao to his retirment. He even mocked Pacquiao’s short reach comparing it to a tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur.

Pacquiao said that the threats made by Thurman kept him motivated to win the fight against the 30 year old boxer.

“Kung magsalita siya akala niya bagito ang kalaban niya,” Pacquiao told reporters in an interview.

The Pinoy boxing champion assured Thurman a surprise during their fight.

“When Keith Thurman fights Manny Pacquiao, if Keith Thurman fights Errol Spence Jr., if Keith Thurman fights Terrence Crawford, I think Keith Thurman is the new Manny Pacquiao. I think I am the most exciting fighter in the welterweight division today,” Thurman said in one of his previous media conferences.
