He says 'we're not stepping stones for anybody'...that's a stupid thing to say, he's pretty much saying he knows what the outcome would be...
He then goes on to say Thurman is a candidate to fight Maidana, but I think it's obvious in the tone of his voice that he doesn't want it.
You're not supposed to match up punchers against punchers because it takes years off their careers. I'm with Contursi on this one. Good for him for protecting Chino.
When does Thurman spark anyone out? He's a solid puncher and a decent athlete but people need to stop building this guy up as being some monster destroyer..
i don't think maidana will be fighting with the same hunger he fought broner and floyd in the first fight again. he doesn't look good right now. i think he will fight berto (or a soft touch courtesy of haymon) and then try to get one more big money fight.
I don't think Maidana himself would say no to the fight but this guy doesn't want to put him in there with Thurman.
It's a bad style match up for Chino.
Nice whopping neck tattoo.
As for this, ya it's a bad fight for maidana. Thurman is too explosive with his punches and has great movement. I think he'd ko maidana.
