    I'm all for education but I'm pretty sure a fighters vocabulary is the least of their concerns and should be the least of ours for that matter. I cant remember the last time I stopped watching a fight because one of the fighters was an idiot.

      And so NOT true! Boots and Vergil have been like a breath of fresh air! Stanionis vs. Butaev is much more interesting than Thurman vs. Barrios!

        It's refreshing when occasionally there is an articulate fighter, this helps sell fights and sometimes brings appeal to a wider audience. But I concede you have a point.

          You have a point as well. I personally think about punching myself in the face when I hear fighters like Thurman speak but then it Dawn's on me they get paid to be punched in the face so i cant expect a scholar LMAO. Your point is noted though.

            That quote is cringe. Sounds likes someone's grandfather trying to be cool

            I look forward to Keith returning if he is going to be a player in the division though

              Let me guess, Keef was feeling more African American than Anglo when he said this...he switches up, behind the announcers booth he's all white, on IG and other social mediums he is all black.

                It's sad that everyone wants to be a grammar **** and judge boxers on their manner of speaking, based on the age old notion that boxers are dumb. When in reality, they're smarter than all of you put together, especially in the art and science of boxing. What does any of your racist, snobby, and so-called superior language skills matter, when your brain can't calculate the correct angle to move your head to avoid a punch coming that will knock u all TF out?

                  he tries too hard hard to sound witty or funny, and fails at both
                  Thurman is obviously delusional. Very few care about Keith anymore.

                      Just what the ww division needs - a washed up punchy former champ who has not lived up to his nickname in years. Retreat, Throw a punch and then grab. Repeat. Boring as they come.
