Amir Khan has refused to rule out a possible showdown with Manny Pacquiao this November despite the Filipino star recently distancing himself from a fight with the Brit. "Indeed, he is a living legend in the field of sports", he stressed. At 40 years old, Pacquiao secured the WBA Welterweight World Championship. This was a lovely night of boxing.
"But I just thought that I would be able to do some countering, utilize my jab from the outside, and really pressure him in the way that I did", he added. One judge gave Thurman 114-113, overruled by two judges who gave Pacquiao 115-112.
"I wish I had a bit more output to go toe-to-toe". He recovered well from a knockdown in the first round and controlled most of the middle rounds.
"I knew without a doubt I would become a fighter - I knew that the underdog can, and often does, win".
"There's talk about Manny Pacquiao, whether that happens or if that doesn't happen, then a Danny Garcia rematch is another one which could happen".
"I want to thank the fans". It was a great night of boxing.
"So really, I feel that he's back top of his game again".
In Sunday's bout, Pacquiao scored his 61st win against seven defeats and two draws. Thurman falls to 29-1 (22 KOs).
