I think Thurman is good, his movement sets up his punches. He could start feinting more and use subtler movement to setup shots. I have yet to see him outclass someone in a phone booth brawl setting, but maybe he won't ever have to fight that type of fight.
Unless he fights Maidana.
I really like the Khan Alexander fight as it showed two boxers fighting on the outside with not much holding, clinching and dirty rough house on the inside.
I'm surprised there were no clash of heads.
In the end it showed a clear winner which is good as well.
2 of our friends and Khan fans Lullabyy and FlatLine are banned :thumbsdow:no::nonono:
Come on dude.
FlatLine is not a Khan fan, he is a racist who hates Khan, he is just an obvious troll who has no life. Just ignore him.
Brushmyhair is another pathetic troll. Let them waste their lives. They have nothing else to do.
I've always been a big fan of Brook. Always. Same with Khan. I like both guys a lot. I've seen every Khan fight since he turned pro and followed his amateur career as well.
I've not been impressed by a few things he's done, like dropping out of the Alexander fight. That was a wrong move, but Khan knows that too.
OK - It didn't seem that way to me, but let's leave it at that then.
I like Garcia too - very underrated fighter. But I think Khan beats him in a rematch.
If that's true then good. I don't think "ducked" is the right word, but it was a wrong move. Glad Khan took the fight and showed the difference between him and Alexander.
Good stuff. :biggthump
Alexander takes no risks. 105-104 Khan
I always knew you were a right spastic, but your scoring of this fight has proven beyond doubt that you know absolutely fook all about this sport. Your card is almost as bad as the time you stated that Broner has a better chin and fighting style than Sugar Ray Leonard. What an absolute nobhead your are.:nonono:
not watched the amir fight properly but it went pretty much as expected, amir controlled the range with his jab and threw few combo here and there. thought there would be more clinching if devon applied more pressure but he was clueless.
unless brook can land a huge punch on amir he gets taken to school. amir range/speed/jab would be too much for him. good fight though
Khan looked great especially that left hook
Booing in Thurman fight was....obviously from casual fans and uncalled for
As Thurman said post fight, they need to shut up
To me it seemed that since, Brook won a title there was a shift in the tide in support. Perception.
Nothing wrong with that, but when I said "your new hero" it had no venomous intent. It was an observation.
Garcia became Lineal Champion in that fight and busted the other hype of the decade besides Broner (Matthysse) later. Can't be worse than a 40 year old Thompson slapping Haye silly.
"Just get me one example." :lol1:
Gosh I've even admitted that Khan ducked Alexander way way before the fight was even signed.

How did I put Brook "above" Khan? Just get me one example.
:lol1: Yeah, it hurts so bad. Almost as bad as Garcia's win over Khan hurts you. oops.

Because he's a Khan fanboy. He's one of those guys that'll say "Khan never truly lost".
Hard to deal with that kind of logic.
It was a pretty boring, one sided fight. Khan did excellent though. Alexander is just a boring fighter - To Khan's credit it's probably the first fight he was in that was this boring. Collazo a close second but at least he dropped him.

Haha, I did the same when I found that out.
It's all good, Khan's in position.
I want to see Khan-Brook now.
