Keith was a total class act after the fight.

Keith is one of the most respectable guys in the sport. He fought Pacquiao's fight and tried to beat him at his own game. That is what real champions do when facing an ATG. It's hard to say whether Keith has the drive to continue for long at this level but if he does, he's 100% a true, admirable champion up comers can look up to. Casuals were spiraling over Keith's "trash talk". Keith understands boxing like the best of us. He brought the WWE factor in and created a stir. Wagering on a all or nothing performance against the biggest name and ATG active in boxing today.

Props. Respect. Like so many Keith didn't make excuses after the fight and accepted the L like a professional. Yeah he talked a lot before the fight (gotta sell the fight), but a lot of fighters could learn from how he conducted himself after the fight. And he was definitely storming that early deficit of his in the 2nd half of the fight, but that Manny body shot derailed it. It was a hyper competitive fight, Manny had the advantage in the 1st half of the fight and Keith definitely was coming on very strong in the back half. The flash knockdown and the body shot that hurt Keith late was the difference. But yeah, so much credit to Keith for the class and professionalism post fight. I'll be rooting for him in his next fight. Yeah he was. I thought he was a complete d***head in the build up but he showed class and humility in both the post fight interviews and press conference, credit to him. Pacquiao-Thurman was a great advert for boxing.

What did Wilder say? Just completely dismissive up Keiths talent and chances in the fight.

Yeah good on him. He got beat fair and sqaure and he knew it. I dont mind all the pre fight nonsense he likes to spout, its the sport, its what they do, all of them in one way or another. As long as after the fight they can show a bit of reality and appreciation thats all that really matters to me. Its the ones that cant accept what has just happened and make a thousand excuses and accusations that i cant stand.

No surprise. He got humbled and beat up by an old man after running his mouth for months. You have to be a real ******* to talk **** after that.

I loved it. Personally I think Deontay Wilder hated on Thurman so hard during the telecast because Thurman's so damn good and charismatic on the mic. Wilder mad jealous Thurman can actually speak. What did Wilder say?

Thurman has earned my respect.

Agreed, Keith Thurman earned a lot of respect for that post fight interview. No excuses and used the lost as a learning experience. Lots of fighters should take a page from Thurman.

You better be a class act after losing to a 40 year old... what else is he supposed to do act like Broner?

I loved it. Personally I think Deontay Wilder hated on Thurman so hard during the telecast because Thurman's so damn good and charismatic on the mic. Wilder mad jealous Thurman can actually speak.

Yes he was. As I listened to him It was like he was auditioning for a TV job. It is refreshing to see a guy admit he lost though and give the guy that beat him his just due.
