Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Thurman's Underdog Odds Against Tszyu 'Disrespectful'

[Slip jab]

If Leo so mad, he should go and rub baby oil on Thurman between rounds like he did for lil Floyd

I agree. Tszyu quietly became one of the most overrated fighters in the game. Most fighters are constantly being asked to prove themselves, Tszyu has been put on a pedestal for beating who exactly...?

Just off the top of my head, Jeff Horn, Tyrell Gausha, Tony Harrison, Brian Mendoza. That's 2 former world champs, and Mendoza was also in the top 5. Two of those were while he was mandatory to fight Jermell too. You know damn well 95% of boxers would have sat inactive for 16 months waiting on that fight instead.

Also KO'd Denis Hogan at Hogan's true weight class. I wouldn't brag about that, except for the fact that it was worthy of Jermall to pull Hogan up to 160 and fight him.

I may not be a huge Tszyu fan, but that is 100% true. And Tszyu clearly has shown he wants all the smoke. That is absolute! And I think that will show even more if he beats Thurman and who he chooses to fight next.

Thurman is going to run the old man game on him.

Put the $$$ up if you know boxing you big Dummy ! ask daddy Floyd for a nickle !

This ellerbe has proven before he's just a clown. All Tszyu has to do is target thermos' body and it's
all over in a few rounds. And we've seen Tszyu land some monster body shots over and over again.

Good marketing, picking the right opponent at the right time, famous name, Aussie, fights often and keeps winning, good on them if they can pull it off.

Yeah odds are crazy I had to have something on Thurman at 10 to 1 , I feel the real odds should be around 3 to 1.

[cace]

i got tszyu winning by stoppage but im thinking about backing thurman at the odds
but the oddsmakers dont usually get it wrong so will probably just save my money

[RuleOfTheSpear]

I saw Thurman doing mitts

He looks shot to bits

oddsmakers got it right

Theres a back story here im guessing, was ellerbe around when kostya battered roger mayweather, ?? Is ellerbe hating on tim tszyus quick rise through the ranks?? Is ellerbe bored now he has no top line fighters to promote, whatrs all this hate for, i just think hes hating for a reason, thurman goes down against body and head punchers and tszyu does both very well, my gut and my brain say tszyu takes him out in 8 rounds or batters him down the stretch, only a old fool like ellerbe likes thurman, he should put his money on him then, he has no fighters to make cash out of now
