Manny \’Pacman\’ Pacquiao surely is not taking his upcoming fight easy facing a much younger and unbeaten Keith Thurman Jr.The glaring difference would be the age gap between the two fighters, but Pacquiao will be looking to keep his speed to his advantage, and with the constant cardio exercises, is keen on outlasting the undefeated younger American.

Pacman elevated his cardio exercises as he prepares for a longer ring fights, maybe going to the judge\’s scorecards. With his usual routine of morning jog and afternoon sparring, the Philippine senator\’s making his jog back and forth.Usually, team Pacquiao runs in a designated location then rides a service going back to his mansion but just recently he upgraded his training by deciding to jog home and added another shadow boxing routine in the mix.By all indications, Pacquiao is ready to go all out in his fight against Thurman. With unrelenting training day after day, the fighting Senator is in unbelievable shape considering his mileage inside the ring.

n truth, trainers and coaches of the Pacman are surprised by the way he is grinding it out in training compared to his last bout against trash-talking Adrien Broner.His training has become more and more intense and in a surprise moment this week, he met up with former archrival Erik Morales. The difference was glaring as the still Pacquiao is seen in tip-top shape compared to the Mexican.At 40, although we saw him just doing fine on his previous fight wherein he bullied Broner in 12 rounds to notch a unanimous decision victory, Manny wants to make sure he can top Thurman\’s form and give the MGM Grand Arena and the fans watching around the globe an entertaining fight.

He knows he\’s old but still has the speed and Thurman is a tough opponent known for his heavy punches so three weeks before the fight, Pacquiao knows endurance will play a vital role if he wants to taint the clean slate of the American boxer.Meanwhile, his camp is confident Manny is on the perfect weight and just maintaining his diet.Additional exercises and preparation could be seen the following days as the match day is nearing. Pacquiao will vie for the WBA Superwelterweight belt against the champion Keith Thurman this July 20.

Canelo Alvarez ex-promoter Eddie Hearns predicts that Terrence Crawford will retire after his victory vs Israil Madrimov last August 3, 2024 in Los Angeles.

Crawford is now the 4-division champ after winning by unanimous decision.

However, Hearns said that three fighters are a must fight against Crawford before hanging his gloves – Vergil Ortiz, Jaron Ennis, and Canelo.

“I don’t think Crawford wants a Boots fight. I don’t think Crawford will fight again unless he fights Canelo Alvarez because he’s got money, he’s getting on [in age],” Hearns revealed.

He added that Crawford ducks Ortiz. He also mocked him for getting lucky with the scoring for his fight against Madrimov.

Hearns underscored that 36 year old Crawford is craving for mega-money, mega-fights, and real legacy fights that is why he does not like to fight the undefeated Ennis. He furthered that 27 year old Ennis is like the young Crawford version that is why he is skipping him.

Meanwhile, Crawford still hates Ennis because he is overrated.
