The commentators kept talking about Chaves' power but I think Thurman was a lot stronger than Chaves was and he seemed phased by more than a couple of Chaves' shots.
Thurman is going to get wrecked against a guy that will block his punches and immediately counter back with combinations as he drops his hands after almost every punching encounter. I hope I'm not the only one that sees that.....the guy lunges in, throws power bombs and then drops his hands admiring his work.
He did good last night to get that KO but I counted at least 50 or more times that he just stood there and dropped his hands after punching, regardless of whether the punch landed or not. A sharp counter puncher is going to expose him badly. Maybe "expose" isn't a fair word to use but it will provide a nightmarish style matchup for him.Comment

He does put his hands up when he needs to but like the guy in your sig, he uses his footwork and head movement to avoid incoming shots. Not everyone is great defensively but I felt he fought defensively responsible, he did his thing. By the way, who you think wrecks him?
Mayweather, Bradley, Marquez, and Alexander all win wide UD's against him.Comment
