One of Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao’s great friends, Narvacan, Ilocos Sur Mayor Luis “Chavit” Singson revealed a night before the highly-awaited Pacquiao – Thurman match that the Pambansang Kamao is stronger enough to knock out Keith “One Time” Thurman.
In an exclusive interview with the 78-year-old mayor, he threw some revelations about the current conditions of the eight-division world champion. He shared that it could be seen that Pacquiao is stronger and faster just like when he was starting to build a name in the boxing industry enough to take down the undefeated Thurman.
The former governor, along with Pacquiao’s other comrades, is also confident that Pacquiao can win the fight specially that he already surpassed heavily-built boxers like Cotto.
“Palagay ko, knock out ‘to,” he confidently said.
Though Pacquiao’s strength and aggressiveness are there but according to Singson, Pacquaio shows more eagerness and fire to defeat his opponent, Thurman.
