Shots Fired: Thurman "Maidana is Ducking Me"

because they fight for money...and Thurman was not a prize fighter back then.. would you get in a ring with someone and get paid coins??? they do it for the money, not for fun Exactly... They were offering him beans for a tough fight. His advisers steered him elsewhere. He is more than willing to fight Thurman now, im sure, if the Broner fight doesn't kick off. Either him or Ghost. If I was his team thats what I would advise him. Maidana trying to climb the mountain, and Thurman is too. Not a duck at all because he is willing to fight anyone for the right money, but it has to make business sense. He's not in there for a freakin merit badge.. He's angling toward a Mayweather shot.. the ultimate prize. I feel that's why he dropped his belt at 140 and went WW to begin with. This is prize fighting, gentlemen.

Sounds like a scared fighter to me. Why does it have to be for a title? And why did pull out of the Thurman fight last year? Hmmmm because they fight for money...and Thurman was not a prize fighter back then.. would you get in a ring with someone and get paid coins??? they do it for the money, not for fun

El Chino tko that bum in 4 rounds :)

But if Thurman was from Philly you'd be slobbering on his knob. #TrueStory Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android nah man....I don't rock like that....but I would like more than I do...thats real!!

What does Maidana gain in fighting Thurman? Big money? A real belt? Fame? Maidana has been around a long time. This fight seems to be a nothing fight for him. That excuse don't work no more buddy. People know Thurman now. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Maidana vs Broner is a lot better, but either of the two, Maidana and Thurman will gave Broner real trouble. True. But Broner's where the money's at!

Maidana been known to be a *****. He faked a back injury twice to get out of a contract he signed to fight Timothy Bradley. I will never let his **** talking fans on this forum forget that. So, why he fired his adviser? Man, you know the real story, he was ripped off by his adviser.

I respect this post because at least your not in denial that he ducked him. There's evidence. If Maidana himself didn't duck his team/promoter did as they felt an easier fight was need. It is what it is. These things happen in Boixng. People forget sometimes that this is a business and Maidana has done well from this. Making good money in his last 2 fights and earning a title shot.

Maidana Ducked Thurman for the good of his career, he has gone on to have 2 stoppage wins vs decent opponents and now has a title shot. Fighting Thurman at that time would have been bad business as hardly anyone knew who he was as he hadn't been on TV. Beating Thurman then wouldn't have done much for his career but imagine if he would have lost to him?, "Maidana lost to an unknown, he is finished" would have been the outcry from the morons and haters. Thurman is an extremely tough fight, i can understand why Chino didn't fight him, i'm sure he would now as Thurman has a name and is ranked. This fight has now become a big fight. If Broner stays at 147 its Maidana vs Boner, if he vacates its Maidana vs Thurman. I'm pretty sure of that. I'll admit this looked a bit like a coward at the time move but in hindsight, it was brilliant matchmaking from maidana's team/Goldenboy and Brilliant knowledge of Thurman's potential and talent.

Maidana has been known to do that from time to time..I'd rather see Maidana fight Broner tbh tho..Thurman should fight Karass IMO..

a tune up for the welter division, is it too hard to understand? He already had a fight at welterweight.

Oh OK. So Maidana needed a tuneup for the great Josesito Lopez. I get it now. a tune up for the welter division, is it too hard to understand?
