LAS VEGAS – Keith Thurman unleashed another flurry of rants on Thursday when he described Manny Pacquiao “a little man who can’t do nothing with those T-Rex arms” in the final days leading up to their world welterweight war at the MGM Grand.
“That’s right, man and it’s a f___n’ Filipino senator who will be laid out. The fireworks are not yet over. We got plenty more coming,” said Thurman in reference to the annual 4th of July celebration that Americans celebrate every year.

Thurman, who opened as a favorite but is now the underdog, insists that he is simply has the more superior ammo going into the scheduled 12-rounder.
“I am too big, too strong. This little man can’t do nothing with those T-Rex arms.
Pacquiao is a great fighter. But he won’t be ready for what I am about to bring to the table,” said the 30-year-old Florida native.
This has been Thurman’s line ever since the fight with the 40-year-old Pacquiao was made.
To do that, Thurman insists he has to throw “at least 50 punches a round, minimum” as he expects Pacquiao to unload punches in bunches.
And when he does that, Thurman believes the roof will cave in on Pacquiao.
“I really believe I can deliver on that promise,” said the 5-8 Thurman, who is about two inches taller.
