PINAG-ARALANG mabuti ni Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach ang huling tatlong laban ni undefeated WBA welterweight super champion Keith Thurman, partikular ang laban nito kay Josesito Lopez nito lamang Enero.

At iisa ang napansin ni Roach. Tumatakbo si Thurman kapag nasasaktan.

Kaya naman, kung ano ang ginawa ni Manny Pacquiao nang talunin si Adrien Broner noon ding Enero, kung saan kada round ay hindi niya tinantanan ang kalaban, ganito rin ang nais ni Roach na gagawin ng Pambansang Kamao kay Thurman sa Hulyo 20 sa Las Vegas.

“If you watch Thurman’s last three fights, once he gets hit and feels the power, he will move. I think he’ll have to use pressure in this fight because I think that Thurman will run once he feels Manny’s power and speed.”    panimula ni Roach.

“He beat [Broner] every round,” pahayag ni Roach. “I really enjoyed that fight. I thought he fought very well. It was the most aggressive I’ve seen Manny in a long time. I like when Manny goes forward like that, and takes the fight to them. And I feel in this fight, we’ll have to do the same thing (against Thurman).”

Ayon kay Roach, hindi impresibo ang laban ni Thurman kay Lopez, dahil muntik pa siya nitong ma-upset nang masaktan sa seventh round.

“I thought I was watching a four-round fighter,” komento pa ni roach sa BoxingScene.com matapos ang training ni Pacquiao sa Wild Card Boxing Club sa Hollywood. “I mean, he was terrible. He didn’t do well at all. But if you look at each of his last three fights, he’s faded in each one. I’m not sure if it’s the biceps injury or whatever they’re crying about, but he hasn’t looked good in the three fights that I’ve seen and I do have his last seven fights on tape.”
