I love Thurman and the dude is from my hometown. But I'd love to see another Argie on the scene. With that said, I'm not picking a winner.

50/50 fight IMO, I would not be shocked if Chaves pulls off the upset or at least impress a lot of people in a controversial losing effort or you could see Keith Thurman take things to the next level and come out and win in impressive fashion
This is a good test for both fighters and a step up in competition for BOTH, two up and coming undefeated prospects on the rise and looking to make a name for themselves, both have excellent power, this should be a excellent match up
The winner of this should get the winner of Paulie vs Broner, Thurman is huge though, you can consider him a legit threat at 147 and 154 right nowLast edited by sicko; 05-21-2013, 01:07 PM.

Don't let his arm length fool you, Gamboa's arms are very short and he has no problem out boxing longer guys.

At least "one time" just beat Zaveck. That's a very quality win.
Not going with KO, but I'll say UD. Thurman might turn into the primary boxer in this one. He's got the legs, might as well use em.

Thurman wins Chaves has beaten no one off any real note defense is ok keeps his hands up and moves his head but in attack he is just overly reckless.Thurman looks a good fighter.Chaves's only hope is he can take him late and drown him

Chavez is a slick Boxer/Puncher and Matthysse is face first brawler that throws straight punches. Seriously I'm sorry but this is ****ing ******ed. And Thurman is not a hypejob he is a top prospect if anything Matthysse is the Hypejob.
Jose Miranda, the one of the link you are sharing has been KOed eleven times before that fight. I was surprised Chaves took this fight.Last edited by Nicolino; 05-21-2013, 07:26 PM.
