Keith Thurman Calls Manny Pacquiao To A Rematch: Judges Got It Wrong On Scorecards

Keith Thurman is not yet done with Manny Pacquaio. The former WBA 'super' welterweight champ hopes that he will have a rematch with the Filipino boxing icon after his disappointing loss at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

The 30-year-old boxer was in high spirits when he was seen out at Avra in Beverly Hills. TMZ Sports recently caught up with Clearwater native, Thurman said that he's "ready for the rematch!" It's the first time that the American boxer was seen in public after losing by split decision on July 20 in Las Vegas.

Keith, still nursing the first loss of his professional career, was in a lively mood. He said that he refuses to weep about it because he "got paid." He added that he has all the respect for the 40-year-old Pacquaio, but challenged the official scorecards as he claimed that the judges tallied it wrong.

Speaking with TMZ Sports, he said that the "fight was nothing more than a draw." The American pugilist figured that Manny should not have earned the victory, adding that "I don't think that he won the fight."

Despite his statements, Thurman still reveres the fighting senator and says that he was super "impressed by his skills." He also jokingly remarked that Philippine boxing fans love him because he gave Manny an authentic championship bout, unlike Mayweather Jr. and Adrien Bronner.

Keith believes that there is money to be made in a rematch with the eight-division champ. He even hinted that he's willing to go to the Philippines to meet Pacquaio in person to discuss the potential bout.

In a final statement given to TMZ, He called out Manny and said that "Where's the contract, Pac?! Sign the contract! Rematch!" PacMan hinted that he will be taking the remainder of the year to rest and that he plans to fight again in 2020.
