Keith "One Time" Thurman vs Tim "The Soul Taker" Tzsyu predictions...

[Bullrider]

Keith has fought above 147 plenty in his career - he started at 150. He's taller than Tszyu.

Tzsyu is taller than Thurman by 1.5".

Anyone knows why Thurman is always perceived as being big for a welterweight? I've been hearing this nonsense since time immemorial. He's only 5' 7.5" tall. Ennis is 5'10".

I mean look at this. Mario Barrios is 5'10"

This what you call a huge guy?

Thurman wins. Then we finally see the big one we waited years for, Thurman vs Bud.

Not from that perspective, lens shortening will distort dimension by a lot, they got to be on the same focal plane if comparing size otherwise its wrong and can be wrong by a lot.

Who wanted Thurman TC, Keiths claim to fame is Garcia and Porter , I would compare those guys to be slightly below Cotto and I think would beat both no problems, and Cotto was in a hell of good group of Atgs , elite and A grade WWs from Oscat to Floyd to Manny to Mosley, it was a hell of an era just closed the next not nearly as solid.

True. No doubt Thurman is taller than Porter, but he's not huge as people perceived him to be for years and years. Don't know why. We'll soon see him with Tim Tzsyu when they stand side by side. You saw one post and says he's taller than Tzsyu. Do you believe that?

Even if you don’t rate Tazoo highly , Keef gonna be in for a lot of hurt
He’s had 4 fights in six years
Lopez gave him a brun for his money and a beating to go with it
Barrios wasn’t much of a fight
I don’t know man

Nah, I hear ya. He's super inactive and aging.

I just think this is too low of a payday for Keith to have taken without Keith at least thinking he could win.

I'm just holding on to hope for my hometown fighter here.

Impressed against who, Lopez had him an inch from being stopped, and goes 12 with a 140 pounder that a 135 Davis stopped. Manny fight was a bit of smokescreen of form because Manny had slipped a lot which showed in how easy Ugas beat him .

I don't rate Tim that high either I see holes everywhere but he has so many advantages here, I can see Thurman look ok for a few rounds because he knows how to box but its not against a 140 pounder its at 154.

Lopez hurt him for 1 round. He didn't go down and he was fighting and getting the better of some exchanges even towards the end of that round after being hurt.

I was talking about the Barrios fight anyways.
