Keith Thurman...wtf was that?

[#1FightFan]

all that talk/bragging, and then THAT performance? um...made him look kinda bad!!! were we fooled to think he was something he isnt??

[Gandalf]

It was a weak performance. He was saying before the fight that he would destroy Mayweather.....really? Mind you, that performance will probably get him the fight!

I've seen Thurman fight before, so I understand why he's getting stick from across the pond, even though the crowd booing was a bit over the top. Bundu was probably a bit better than people gave him credit for, and for a 40 year old , his pace and stamina was excellent for 12 rounds. Thurman hurt Bundu in the 1st , but Bundu's recovery rightly or wrongly made Thurman decide that it wasn't worth the risk to try and get the KO. Instead , he boxed him and technically boxed him very well and won with relative ease.
Just like every Boxer nowadays, he bigged himself up to be a bit of a beast and it's backfired a bit. At the end of the day, he showed he can box, he still has a lot of promise and is still a dangerous contender. Styles make fights, but IMO , if he fought Khan, he would be all wrong for him , and I could see him KO'ing Khan. Unlike Alexander, Thurman would be quite happy to take 6 of Khan's punches to land 3 of his own and his would have more effect.

Bundu was pretty game, but the expectations were much higher for Thurman.

His nickname is "One Time".
I hope it applies to his stinker of a performance.
