Does Keith Thurman pass the Maidana Test?

Thurman wins easy. He moves well and can box if necessary. I don't know about easy but I'm pretty convinced he'd win in an 8 rounds to 4, or 7 rounds to 5 fight. I just don't see how Maidana wins unless he lands a big shot that KOs Thurman. Thurman will outbox him so Maidana will need a KO to win.

What is Maidana saying? Did he respond to Thurman calling him out?

Good thing about Thurman is that he studies his opponents and will probably focus on Maidanas body. But Maidana can upset anybody and has the power to do so. Soul live this fight to happening

I think Thurman knocks him out The Bundu fight has everyone hypnotized. Boxing fans have the memory of a fly. Bundu is awkward, there is a reason he was undefeated. Maidana is awkward too, and far better, and Keith will be retreating part of the time but I think the fight changes dramatically when Thurman lands. One of two things happen, either Maidana backs off and Thurman ends up winning a decision or he goes for broke, in which case, although he may catch his man and overwhelm Thurman, I believe Thurman will know how to handle it, to a degree at least, and end up hurting Maidana and finishing him with a big shot. This would be a good fight. Maidana could eat him for breakfast but may end up eating some fists. Make it happen.

I love the point you raised about Maidana going 3-0 against hype jobs. That should be like his new nick name.

I think Thurman takes it. People are giving Thurman are hard time for yesterday, but he won all 12 rounds against a fighter who pretty much was just trying to survive. Maidana will just come forward & that will favor Thurman since he's a lot quicker. Thurman wins easy. He moves well and can box if necessary.

What is Maidana in fantasy fights now? 0-60 60K.Os via bodyshots? is always the same with chino in fantasy matchups, but i reckon thurman left to the body seems pretty dangerous.

Could go either way but I'll go with Maidana . More of a warrior, more proven after all. Thurman is fighting bum after bum, with Chaves being his best win and almost losing that one until he managed to hurt Chaves. A weird angle overhand from Chino could "on time" Thurman.

Maidana needs to fight wearing a latex body suit, all this sonning is getting out of hand. *no homo at wanting to see Chino in a latex suit, doe. :wank: *

We shall see. I'm extremely interested in the fight! :boxing:

Thurman is Better than ortiz and broner but losses in his big step up

I am amazed with your short term memories. This maidana who supposedly beats hype jobs also got outclassed by devon alexander, went life and death with an old, fat and shot to dog **** erik morales. He was also getting hit with everything josesito lopez (a natural 140 lber) threw and was hurt by him. He finally beats a good fighter in broner (another guy who's not a real welterweight) .The only true welter weight he ever beat was jesus soto karass. fmj proved to the world the world that maidana didn't belong in the ring with the elite even though real fans already knew that. Why are you dummies thinking that maidana can beat any one near the top of the division? He's slow, he can't box for ****, he gets hurt by much smaller men, his punches are wide as hell and his defense sucks. Stop with the nonsense already thurman has done nothing:bottle: ancient morales>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ancient bumdoo

Thurman is chinny. I could see that long neck getting snapped back by Maidana's thudding shots and getting put to sleep.

I think it's a close fight but I think Maidana would be the most likely winner after Thurman's poor showing last night. Maidana would have gone after that light punching old guy that Thurman fought and knocked him out quickly.

Just read the comments. It seems as if most of you think Maidana is just a face first brawler like he was 3-4 years ago. I guess we forget about his ability to feint, and trap you on the ropes. Push you back with his jab. Maidana is still aggressive because that's his strong suit, but he's smart about it now. This forum is so ****ing stupid though, you guys couldnt even predict Lemiuex beating Rosado. If you had watched Lemiuexs prior fight it was an easy call. Then a lot of you thought Khan Alexander would be close. Look what happened. Thouyght Kovalev was just a stiff brawler, look what happened. A lot of you are just wildly horrible at anything boxing, and shouldnt be having serious discussions on it. It's a simple discussion dude, chill out. I don't think anybody is still painting Maidana as a mindless brawler after giving the best boxer in the game a very tough fight. Also, don't act like you get every single prediction correct on here. Teddy Atlas predicts every fight wrong, guess he DKSAB.

i would slightly favor Thurman in the fight, but i'd be rooting for Maidana. the problem is Thurman will fight that fight the way he fought against Bundu. he'll just use his legs, make it boring, and outpoint Chino. i didn't used to be this way, but lately i've been hating watching fighters who use their legs so much. there's a difference between boxing and just using your legs to run around and avoid any opportunities of engaging. i mean when Floyd stays in the pocket and uses his defense and boxes, it's a thing of beauty. but watching these guys that just move non-stop and use their speed to easily outpoint guys...I don't like it. i know it gets the job done, but why should fans pay to see it? virgil hunter is always encouraging khan to fight this way, but fortunately khan lacks the discipline and likes to engage. otherwise he'd be borderline unbeatable and unwatchable.

To be fair, I picked Lemieux to stop Rosado late, Kahn to dominate Alexander via wide UD, and X to decision Kova. All my picks are there in ink.
