wrong fighter............

i love how thurman has that old school 1920's stance.....it's actually kinda weird.

The one dimensional, one handed Maidana shatters his glass jaw.

Seems

like its a BIG step up from the club fighters Thurman has fought. He doesnt have 1 punch KO power but he seems to put his punches together well and looks like he has a hard punch. Gonna be interesting to see what Chino looks like in his return to '47. Chino's been put down before with head and body shots and Thurman doesnt look like a slick type of fighter and he likes to **** so it should mos def be action packed. I dont think itll go the distance. If Chino wins, does he get any credit? I'd like to see him vs Dulorme! If Thurman wins, more big fights await.

i'm hoping for a maidana win...maidana has proven he is one tough mother****er..and although thurman seems to have impressive power himself, his chin i don't think has really been put to the test. so it should be an interesteing fight to see how well thurman reacts to someone who can hit back just as hard as he can. they might be throwing thurman in to soon with a more experienced and tougher fighter...this might end up being another example of lemieux vs rubio, villanueva vs yordan, bautista vs mendoza..three guys who have tremendous power but not enough experience compared to their opponents.

thurman is actually a very good boxer........he's a boxer puncher.

maidana in my opinion will be way too slow & will run the risk of being stopped for the first time..........

[americanbot]

i do give maidana a good shot because thurman lacks the experience............this will be a big step up.

but i think he steams maidana..........

it will be a fun fight to watch.

This is a good fight for Maidana to test the waters again at 147. Keith Thurman is a good fighter but Maidana has the edge because of his experience and power. Thurman has a very high TKO/KO percentage rate however his opponents were average at best. Maidana is a big step up in competition for Thurman.
