Pacquiao (61-7-2 win-loss-draw record with 39 KOs) said in earlier interviews that he is keen on teaching the undefeated Thurman (29-0 with 22 KOs) a lesson that he will never forget in his professional boxing career. This is just sports and nothing personal),” Pacquiao, 40, told The Manila Times at the Elorde gym in Pasay City. Pacquiao previously declared that he would make the thrash-talking Thurman eat his words. I hope Thurman would not run in the early rounds,” Fernandez concluded.
