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

[El_Maldito_Rey]

Garbage ass fight shouldn’t be on PPV. Dragging up old ass Runtime Thurman after a long layoff? Wait I thought that was frowned upon over here? lol nothing but hypocrites on this site.

Bet on Thurman on points and cash out after 3 rounds. Simple.

“Keith knows what he’s doing and he’s well-preserved. Who’s the puncher in this fight? I wouldn’t be surprised if Keith Thurman clipped him.

In THIS fight, Tszyu is the puncher, because he has experience at the weight. Keef does not.

Second...it reminds me a lot of Winky Wright. Lost to B-Hop, was inactive two years, came back to fight top guys and clearly was not the same fighter. Wasn't getting knocked out, but he wasn't the same.

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.

That's the thing, you don't have to be a fan of guys, just don't be a hater lol. Guys just covering their eyes and saying "well he hasn't done anything" are full of chit lol. He's going after everyone he can get. I wish more fighters had that mentality. Win or lose.

People forgetting too, the only reason he's fighting Keith is because Lubin turned the fight down

Fair, but two things.

That was over 10 years ago, and weren't they both 147 guys fighting at a catch?

“Keith knows what he’s doing and he’s well-preserved." So are mummies, Leonard.

[SUBZER0ED]

To date, Once-Upon-A-Time has fought two fights in five years AND is moving up in weight AND is 35 years old. I think the odds-makers aren't far off the mark, if at all. Leonard says this is a 50-50 fight. FOH!

[Malvado]

Didn't Ellerbe state that Tank whose a lightweight, would trash Thurman?

But it's disrespectful that people are favoring a active top fighter in Tszyu whose from a division above?
