LAS VEGAS – Keith Thurman can put on as much weight as he can on fight day, and it won’t be a concern for Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao is used to fighting taller and heavier guys, and Thurman should not be different. Pacquiao’s strength coach, Justin Fortune, said by fight night, Thurman could be almost a middleweight. “I expect Thurman to come in like close to 160 (lbs),” Fortune told Filipino scribes the other day. But for Buboy Fernandez, Pacquiao’s head trainer, it doesn’t matter how much Thurman weighs the moment he sets foot on the ring against the Filipino icon.
