Comments Thread For: Theophane: I Was Offered Thurman Fight, Had to Decline

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Ashley Theophane was offered a fight with Keith Thurman as a late replacement for July 21 but had to turn down the bout, the junior welterweight wrote on Twitter on Monday morning.

“Currently weighing 159 lbs, so I can’t make 147 lbs within 2 weeks,” Theophane wrote.

Thurman, an undefeated welterweight/junior-middleweight prospect, was supposed to make his HBO debut against Marcos Maidana on the July 21 broadcast underneath the Adrien Broner-Vicente Escobedo main event. [Click Here To Read More]

Theophane turns down every fight he is offered but rather fights guys like Darren Hamilton and loses. Big fights around the corner my asian as$

I wholly endorse the above statement.

The irony of you mentioning ass. Theophane is a BUM!!!

Too bad he turned it down. Would've been a pretty good get as a late replacement.

Shame about Ashley. Nice guy & very smart. I thought he was on the up after the Daws & Cook wins but he's regressed in his last two bouts. Not sure where he can go from here.
