Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman back with a ****, blitzes Brock Jarvis

[BlackRobb]

Keith didn't duck, he was Floyd mandatory and lining up a Manny match why fight a nobody spence

The time spence and Thurman had a fight signed it was spence who ducked, just as spence ducked Manny, just as he clogged 54 and ducked fundora...Be consistent with this ducking rhetoric

Keith absolutely beats the brakes off spence...Keith still has elite traits the shyt u can't teach, accuracy, one punch power, explosive speed and athleticism if you understand anything about boxing u would understand spence doesn't have shyt for Thurman....

Spence should be thankful the salesman Thurman sold the spence myth while pursuing the highest level in Floyd and manny

You need to leave the fentanyl alone, son. Keef was never getting the Mayweather fight. Ever. The truth of the matter is your boy had no appetite for fighting Crawford or Spence I. 2018 or 2019. Here's an excerpt from an inter with him in 2018. You tell me whether he sounds interested in fighting either guy at that time.

Keith beat those guys much much easier as well in their prime forms

Facts.

[archiemoore1]

Roy Jones Jr dodged quite a bit of criticism while in his prime. They stated that his style was unorthodoxed, but that was it.

Critics used to say Roy was fast but had bad fundamentals, which was total bs. Roy was a gold medalist in the Olympics. Forget that he only won silver. That man was the gold medalist, hands down, period. I saw Roy live in his prime and trust me, you never saw anything like it. I saw a man with great fundamentals doing whatever the hell he wanted to do. An artist, a light heavy faster than a lightweight, deadly accurate, would put you to sleep in the most beautiful way. He should have been arrested for what he was doing to opponents. I saw him against Bryant Brannon. Watch that fight when you get a chance. The undercard was Ike Quartey vs Oba Carr. I sat right by Ike Quartey's drummers and Bryant Brannons friends and family. They were talking crazy about what he was gonna do to Roy. I asked if they wanted to make a wager. When the fight started, I was standing up in my chair, screaming at them until I was hoarse. The usher had to ask me to sit down like twice. I lost my voice the next day

Anyone can criticize, that's so easy. But can u run even one mile? Ok. Pros run anywhere from 3 to 6 miles daily. Some run far more. Some run with boots on. They do countless exercise and gym work. They have to eat clean and get to sleep early, get up early... Its just alot more than most critics can comprehend. The discipline and drive that is takes just to be a boxer, is something most critics aren't capable of. So the criticism isn't really legit, not coming from people who can't do even a fraction of what boxers do. But yes everyone can have their own opinions. I just gave you mine.

Boxers do those things because..................
.....................Wait for it.....................

It helps them do their fcking job

Actors do as much research on their character because it helps them do their fcking job
Singers may take vocal lessons because it would help them do their fcking job.
So on and so forth

If after all of their prepping, they still turn out to be clown like.....
Well, figure it out.

To compare a pro with a fan is pretty much lame AF
You just set the bar for that pro as low as possible

No one is above criticism/ridicule

My opinion

[archiemoore1]

Often times, the criticisms are legit.
As are the accolades.

What is it about fight fans that they think boxers are above ridicule ?!?!?!?
And not every fight fan has to have been a boxer to tell it like it is.

I just saw this, thought even in getting a stoppage Thurman looked pretty bad. He got buckled in the 1st, Jarvis looked to be controlling the pace until he got hurt, drop, and stopped. He is the naturally much smaller fighter. I don't see Keef doing much but he'll probably get a big name fight before he loses and retires for good.

[TheProudLunatic]

Why should these fighters be ridiculed at all?

Because there is cause for it
Same as any performer/athlete being ridiculed

[Lefty0616]

Fighters are so under appreciated lol. All u ever hear is, "he's a bum", "he got exposed", "he fought a nobody", "he's over rated", "he's got a glass chin", etc.
Meanwhile, some of these expert critics have so much belly hanging over their pants, when they look down, they can't even see their di..ks.
Name me one fighter who a critic never has something negative to say anything about...

This is the revisionist history.

Errol Spence didn't get lined up for a title until 2017. He won his first title mid 2017.

Keith Thurman was UNIFYING in 2017. After Keith unified he was out injured until he got the Manny payday plus a tune-up.

Spence only called for the fight when it was impossible to get done. Why would a champ fight some prospect who hadn't even fought a former title holder yet???

Look at their records even. There's a reason Spence's team had him avoid a puncher for so long. There's a reason Spence mostly fought blown up lightweights and light welterweights. There's a reason Spence drains down to welterweight instead of fighting guys at lmw. Spence has no chin, Bud showed us that.

No, it’s not.

Spence was next in line, no one wanted anything to do with him and that includes Thurman. Brook finally stepped up and took that risk to give Spence a shot. Spence was dying to fight Thurman, how can you even deny that? He called it before he was champ and fought every contender when he was champ. Of course Thurman now wanted Spence when he has no title, when he had the title he had no intention what so ever of fighting Spence.

What punchers did Spence avoid? And Thurman isn’t a big puncher anyway so it’s irrelevant.

[IronDanHamza]

Spence was not in let yet and like i said Thurman fought bigger fights and more accomplished at that point. He fought Porter and Garcia. Thurman didn't give an untested upcoming fighter a shot (Spence) Spence ducked a an ex unified champ (Thurman). Facts are WBC in the end ordered the fight and Al Haymon was about to make it. This is what forced Spence to go back to the Bud table. I told people even before the Bud fight on here even the inactive Thurman would have whooped Spence

Again just flat out revisionist history. Repeating it again won’t change that.

Thurman wanted no part of Spence. None what so ever and that was extremely clear. You insinuating it was the other way round is comical.

He sat out for 2 years while Spence fought the top fighters. He clearly ducked Spence so even despite that there was no incentive to Spence to give him a shot regardless, let alone when he’d sat around doing nothing for 2 years.
