According to some sources, many people are betting for Pacquiao but Thurman is confident enough to finish off Pacquiao’s career. Thurman said that this will be Pacquiao’s last fight, meaning his retirement.

Power and Stamina

No wonder, Pacquiao is much more faster and can spar 12 or more rounds. But Thurman is more confident that he can take down his opponent with just one round – that’s quite ambitious. Thurman insists that he is more powerful than the fighting senator. Of course, the ring will decide it’s destiny.

Age Gap

Pacquiao is older than Thurman. Pacquiao is now 40 years old while Thurman is 30. Thurman perceives the physiological aspect of aging against Pacquiao. But as we all said, “Age is just a number.”

Popularity

Pacquiao is also dominant when it comes to popularity. His epic fights made him famous – even in showbiz and politics. While Thurman is known for his unblemished record.

Predictions

Pacquiao's camp is confident enough that Thurman will end his undefeated record. Coach Freddie Roach said that it won't last until the ninth round. On the other hand, Thurman's camp is also confident that Pacquiao's retirement is yet to come. Thurman is relying on the one-punch knock out to take down Pacquiao.
