Keith Thurman

[Dark Lord Al]

He's got a stupid hair cut

Eric do you think point deductions are in order for fighters with stupid haircuts ?

I like Thurman and think he is a skilled fighter and could go on to be a champion. I hope he becomes a superstar but I fear he could end up like Berto so I do not want to get too carried away.

He looked good last night, I had him winning every round.

I think he has more durability than Berto , and also more power. Guerrero is a good boxer and teak tough , so all in all it was a good performance.

It's a well known addition to the rules in Barbados

[Spicoli]

He looked good and has proven he is capable of boiling down a pace or cranking it up. The kid has improved. He has huge holes coming in when he just lunges, almost wearing visible doubt though. What gets me is when he had his last 2 in the most trouble he effectively just backed off and let them back into the fight. In all reality Guerrero was done at the end of that round and its a testament to his brass balls he hung in but Thurman got roughed up and turned it into some international track meet and let the moment slip away. I'd like to see a Maidana fight, that would be fun tv

Thurman is IMPROVING! That is rare for prospects who get TV deals so early and fame and fortune so young.

I thought he looked great and did his damndest to stop Guerrero when he dropped him.

Is he improving? I see tons of flaws. The comparison to Taylor seems apt. His athleticism covers many of his flaws like how he throws his uppercut or the fact he drops his hands before he punches. But when he gets in with athletes on his level or close his flaws will be exploited. I don't think he's nearly as smart as he thinks he is and that will come back to bite him.

That said I hope I'm wrong and he tightens things up.

[powerpuncher]

i feel like he showed what i thought he was. very athletic with a very good punch and good speed. his flaws are that he doesnt do well when his opponent tries to pressure him and he doesnt really use a jab to set up his shots. he just uses a lot of hooks and counter hooks. i feel that a jab would greatly improve his offense against elite fighters.

because of his athleticism, he will give most fighters a tough time, but because of his flaws, he wont be elite. i do think that he will improve though and will slowly rid himself of those flaws but but not completely.

by the way I am aware I messed his name up lol - Keith Thurman

Tons of flaws and he whipped Guerrero worse than Floyd did.


I'll take it.

What is Berto doing now?

[Dia bando]

Thurman was lucky Guerrero was no puncher, he boxed nice but I am not sold Brook would
clean his clock.
