Pacquiao vies for WBA Super Welterwieght belt against Thurman
FILIPINO boxing icon Manny Pacquiao guns for another win in a major boxing bout as he challenges Keith Thurman for the WBA Super Welterweight World Championship this July 21 (Sunday) live via SKY Sports PayPer-View.
The reigning WBA (regular) Welterweight World Champion faces an opponent ten years his junior after successfully defeating Adrien Broner last January and Lucas Matthysse in the latter part of 2018. Pacquiao current- ly holds a boxing record of 61-7-2 with 39 wins coming via knockout. On the other hand, Keith Thurman also known by the moniker, “One Time,” is coming from a majority decision win over Josesito Lopez. He owns an unblemished record of 30-0-0 with 22 wins via knockouts and one No Contest.
Local boxing analyst Ed Tolentino said in an interview by news.abs-cbn. com that the bout between Thurman and Pacquiao will be a good one, stating that Thurman is better than Broner.
One thing he is concerned about Thurman, though, is his health since this fight is only the American fighter’s second after being inactive for almost two years.
