Comments Thread For: Bakhram Murtazaliev is up there with the best, says Keith Thurman

Tszyu didn't seem too sharp, but the Russian did a great job with the left hook that Tim couldn't avoid. Too bad for Tim but good for the Rusky.

Culcay gave Murtazaliev a better fight with much less fanfare. Not saying Tower did anything to Tim, but show him his level. 154 all over the place, 50-50-50-50.

Murtazaliev was drained by Ramadan restrictions for the Culcay fight. It was not a true indication of Murtazaliev's ability unless training without food and water while the sun is up is taken into account. He showed what he can do with proper training against Tszyu.

You guys are something else. Here we are talking about coddling Tim and now we hear excuses for Murtizaliev under performing. He's big for the weight. I bet he out grows the division before he unifies anything.

Lol diss Thurman all ya want but the guy knows boxing inside and out.

Two things can be true at the same time. Qweef knows boxing. Qweef is also annoying AF. He overcompensates with his vocabulary by using words in an incorrect manner to make himself sound more intelligent than he actually is.

If Boots wants to become relevant with the quickness, Murtazaliev is the best route to take!

Murtazaliev IS huge for the weight. Looking at him fighting Tszyu, it was hard to believe they are in the same weight class. Murta should be moving up sooner than later. Hard to believe he is not close to dehydrating to make weight. Reminded me of Canelo's earlier fights at 154, coming into the fight at 172 - 173 lbs. after rehydrating.
