"IT WILL BE 'ONE TIME' VS. ALL TIME" - World-Famous Freddie Roach

PhilBoxing.com




HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. (July 15, 2019) ? For the third time in 12 months, boxing?s only eight-division world champion and boxer laureate Senator Manny ?Pacman? Pacquiao (61-7-2, 39 KOs) will be battling in a world championship fight. Forget collecting on a pension, amazin? Manny, 40, the reigning Fighter of the Decade, will be punching more than the clock this Saturday, when he tries to complete his world title hat trick, against undefeated WBA welterweight super champion Keith ?One Time? Thurman (29-0, 22 KOs), from Clearwater, Florida, who is 10 years Manny?s junior. The Pacquiao ? Thurman welterweight world title attraction headlines a PBC on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event, live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, beginning at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

?Keith Thurman has it easy. His only job is to train for this fight. I have three jobs. I am a fighter. I am a public servant. And on Saturday, I am going to be Keith Thurman?s teacher,? said Manny. ?I have heard everything he has said about me. I have heard everything he has said he will do to me in the fight. Those things he says about me do not make me angry. They inspire me. This has been the best training camp I have had in years. Keith Thurman thinks he is going to retire me. I am not ready to look back. I am still looking forward. Keith Thurman is going to be very surprised by what he sees from me in the ring. He is going to leave the ring a very disappointed fighter.?


Team Pacquiao at the Wildcard Gym Saturday, July 13, from left: Marvin Somodio, Nonoy Neri, Pacquiao, Justin Fortune, Freddie Roach, Buboy Fernandez and Roger 'Haplas' Fernandez.

?It will be ?One Time? vs. All Time,? said Manny?s Hall of Fame trainer world-famous Freddie Roach. ?Thurman may be ten years younger but Manny still has extraordinary talent and an era?s worth of experience against Hall of Fame opposition. The betting action on this fight reflects that. I have done a lot of interviews. All the media seem to be picking Thurman to win. They consider this a battle between Generation X and Generation Geritol. But we?re talking about Manny Pacquiao. He pushed himself to the limit in this training camp. Youth will be served a big slice of humble pie on Saturday night.?
