"Joe Goossen is an exceptional trainer and he just told me to work from a different direction facing a southpaw. I just made sure to block his punches with my elbows. That was the only adjustment I had to make and it ended up working just fine.

We have a live blog for Saturday’s pay-per-view, featuring Manny Pacquiao and Keith Thurman

Luis Nery def. Juan Carlos Payano via KO (body shot) in Round 9
Round 1: Payano takes the center first, ad he’s pawing his lead hand out there, gauging the range. Payano takes some wild swings, a big left hand landing at the end, but Nery walks through it. Payano gets Nery up against the ropes, and there may have been a clash of heads. Outside right hook slips through Nery’s guard and lands on the chin. Nery avoids the follow-up one-two from Payano. The round comes to an end without much action, especially from Nery.

The fight between WBA champions Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao and Keith ‘One
Time’ Thurman this weekend promises to be a barn burner. Both boxers
have shown they have the capability to come out victorious, but at the
same time exhibited vulnerabilities that could be exploited by either
boxer. It’s so close that most prominent boxing personalities can’t
definitively decide on a winner. It’s a pick ‘em fight where even the
betting favorites have swung from one fighter to another, initially
placing Pacquiao as the underdog but later installing him as a slight
favorite.

OXON HILL, Md. (July 17, 2019) —Teofimo Lopez is on the fast track to a world title shot. Standing in his way is a fellow unbeaten fighter, Masayoshi Nakatani, the longtime OBPF lightweight king who represents the stiffest test of Lopez's young career.
