Legit in my book.
I have been in the room when he hits people...you hear it everywhere in the place. His boxing skills are on point and he can self promote. As legit as legit gets.
Im curious why having good ring movement is now called running? I have seen both fighters live in action...Thurmans punches can be heard from any where in the venue. He is by far the harder puncher. Ghost better hope that thurman runs. Im also not sure where its logical to say that thurman has no chin. Is that because soto buzzed him with a huge hook ? Thurman weathered the storm, recovered in less than 5 seconds, and dominated the fight. I dont know how that qualifies as weak? Soto had Berto out on his feet with the same punch, most would agree that berto is not the greatest fighter but no one says he has a glass jaw because of that fight. He was far more hurt than thurman. There is a very strange negative bias towards Keith that i just dont get. Heres a guy who can box and punch and move. He dominates the ring in whatever fashion he has to to get the win. Expect him to batter ghost with hard shots, then move...like an intellegent fighter should.
If Mikey wins he should be considered p4p....if spence wins its just what everyone expected all along. It would be the equivalent of spence moving up to fight canelo....if he beat canelo, then hell yes youre p4p number 1. But if canelo stomps you, its because you moved up two weight classes and got overpowered. Which shouldn't have surprised anyone.
Soto didnt drop thurman. He buzzed him with a massive hook. Then thurman won the round and gave soto the worst beating of his career. Maybe watch the fight before commenting.
Can we all agree it was a Damn good fight?
I got so caught up in the action that I didn't even try scoring the fight. I was happy with the winner either way as long as the judges had it xlosw. 115-113 either way was just IMO because it was a close fight. KT rocked Porter once - I feel the second one he was off balance . and Porter hurt KT to the body just as bad. What I did notice was Farhood gave KT the round he buzzed Porter but didn't give Porter the round he hurt KT. I know his card don't mean siht but I found that odd.
I think that round was thurmans. Porter hurt keith to the body but everything was keiths before and after that.
Thurman ran like a hoe
Should change his name to ShookTime Aka Runtime.
Thurman beat living **** out of the man despite an emergency room hematoma growning on the side of his head. Thurman used excellent ring intelligence and stayed on the outside where he both had the handspeed and reach (4 inches) to his advantage. When he went inside robert headbutted him...Thurman couldnt afford to take any more damage and risk a stoppage. No fighter should risk an easy points victory with a dangerous injury like that. Either you dont under stand even the most basic ideas of strategy, or you are a world class hater....who knows they are world class. At some point you have to admit this kid has the goods. Or you have to keep being a troll...but i guess at least you know you are now. So you have that going for you.
