Does anyone feel Thurman will actually be a disappointment when he steps up?

Let's see how he does against Maidana first. I still think he's pretty legit personally. Just because he didn't get the TKO, it doesn't mean anything. . . Still a convincing shut out.

Depends on what you mean by disappointment he might lose but I think he'll make for exciting bouts due to his lack of defense and jumping in wild at times.

what seems to be missed is that Thurman is a JM fighting as a WW first punch maidiana land and he will land easily Thurman goes down gets up and gets KO'd Thurman is not a junior middleweight.

Chaves and Bundu are better than Provodnikov I wouldn't go that far.

I swear none of these people ripping on Thurman have ever watched him fight. That's how he always fights, with lots of movement, looking for counter punching opportunities. He only goes wild when he has his opponent hurt or if he's responding after eating a good punch. Bundu was never hurt. Fights like this happen to everyone. They're good learning experiences. No one is Mayweather or Pacquiao in 20 fights, not even Mayweather and Pacquiao. I know. I don't know why people expect him to be this one-dimensional puncher. He's a boxer-puncher as he says himself. In fact, a performance like this makes me a bigger believer than I was before - even though I was a big believer before too. He showed good skills, power, he was mixing it up and had good stamina all the way through. He was coming off a layoff and still didn't really show any ring rust. He could have been a little more aggressive like he was in the Soto-karass fight, but even in that fight he was boxing and moving too. Along with Brook, he's really the only boxer-puncher in the welterweight division and we need more of those. Erroll Spence is also of that mould. I've seen people suggesting Bundu is better than Thurman. WTF world does NSB live in? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. He dominated every second of that fight.

He should fight Brook next, it would be a great matchup n winner should be crowned in the mix of the elite in welter division Maidana, Thurman, Brooks, n if Garcia moves up should a mix Khan should fight Floyd or Manny next its his last chance n hes lookin decent again

My words in a thread talking about Thurman annihilating Provodnikov: Based on what? My responses to demands that Pacquaio "stup up" to Thurman: His best win is worse than Algieri's. He has a style kind of reminiscent of Haye and Groves, looks very athletic and flashy, but usually doesn't stand the test of time. Chaves and Bundu are better than Provodnikov

I'm not sure about Thurman knocking Marquez out but I do think Thurman can outbox. Thurman is the one that guaranteed a KO. You build up people expectations you best deliver. You try to act like a hardass and then fail, extremely over rated fighter this one. And man, the crowd really tore him a new one. LOL at Thurman getting more and more nervous, first apologizing then getting angry and defensive. Thurman said he aims for the KO but when he did guarantee it? Besides, after the fight, he made it clear that he pick and chooses how he wins. It just proves Thurman isn't a welter GGG. Thurman should fight Alexander next. I think he would lose that fight. I think that's just what you want to happen.

No i still think he has potential to be great.

He's good but he's not that good.

Thurman drops and beats him for 12 rounds and that not good enoght.......thurman will be cursed by his KO ratio every time thurman doesn't get a KO he would dis pointed ....but some of your favorite favorite haven't had a KO in years......bundu came not to fight barly threw punches and made sure not to get Ko Not the KO ratio, but his mouth. He calls out Floyd. He said if he KO's Bundu in 4 he will fight Khan...

Look up my previous posts about Thurman. I said I wasn't impressed and wasn't sold. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: line him up with another C level fighter, that's where he belongs.

As for Thurman vs Marquez, if Thurman fights like he did yesterday, stays disciplined and uses his feet, I think he beats Marquez. The size and age disadvantage would be too much for Marquez to overcome against such a good and versatile fighter.

lol people calling Bundu a bum obviously don't follow boxing properly. The guy was a proven top class amateur, unbeaten as a pro and never dropped or even hurt before yesterday. The reaction to this fight just shows how desperate people are for Thurman to not turn out to be the real deal, he puts on a clinic and shuts out a quality fighter and people say he's been exposed. That's part of it, but I think the perception that Thurman was just supposed to walk right through Bundu is making people say dumb stuff too

All these fake ass Thurman fans who are Pacquiao fans would have never been Pacquiao fans if they watched him from the beginning, when he lost to worse fighters than Bundu. "He lost to a bum, he's a bum, he's an overrated protected hype job, what's so special about him?" If this is how they react to shutting someone out, I'd imagine they'd never forgive ATGs who lost to worse fighters or struggled worse than Thurman did with worse fighters.

I don't think Thurman struggled at all last night. Sure, Bundu put up a better fight than expected but Keith handled him well. This was one of those "win now, look better next time" kinda fights. Hard to "look good" against an awkward guy like Bundu

Let's wait to seeThurman fight Maidana and all types of questions will be answered.
