BILIB man sa mga nakamit sa mundo ng boksing, laos na kung ituring ni WBA ‘super’ welterweight champion at undefeated American Keith Thurman si eight-division ruler at WBA ‘regular’ 147-pound kingpin Manny Pacquiao.
Ayon sa 30-anyos na kampeon, madali niyang tatalunin ang 40-year old Pinoy ring legend at tatapusin na nito ang kanyang karera.
“Pacquiao wants a challenge, and I’m very grateful to be sharing a ring with a legend, If you understand boxing history, you know that times change. I believe boxing is in a new era,” pagyayabang ni Thurman.
“Come July 20, Pacquiao will disappear. He’ll always be remembered in the sport, but I’m doing to Manny Pacquiao, what he did to Oscar De La Hoya”
