Shots Fired: Thurman "Maidana is Ducking Me"

[-PBP-]

What about Broner/Maidana with Thurman/JSK on the undercard. With winners facing each other in the next fight. I think that is very possible considering the landscape of the division atm. It can be done for October, or even November.

It's a possibility. I just don't think Haymon will match Thurman and Broner this early in their careers.

I thought it was Thurman who was the mando for the WBA title. Sounds to me like Broner will either vacate and thurman will be promoted to full WBA or he will hold on to the title and the WBA wont force him to fight Thurman and he will face Marcos

Chaves was interm champ and thats the belt Thruman won so you're right. Maidana is #2 but i though he was mandatory and thats why the Maidana-Broner talk sounded so certain. Guess Broner doesn't have to fight him which is disappointing.

Broner abandoning the title would look like a chicken move avoiding tough competition. I think he'd settle for Maidana. I don't see Thurman vs Broner happening.

Sounds like a scared fighter to me. Why does it have to be for a title? And why did pull out of the Thurman fight last year? Hmmmm

Scared Chino? LOL. I'm pretty sure GBP is already planning Maidana - Thurman for Broner's vacant belt. Anyway, if Chino wins Thurman will turn out to be a bum for all of you.

Then why did he pull out of a fight with a prospect claiming he needed a tune up? He also ducked Bradley, im not sure why Marcos being a ducker is shocking people

LOL. How is this not a duck? If Floyd or Broner said this they would be crucified:

“We told Golden Boy that we didn’t want the fight. We want a tuneup. Is that a tuneup? All big name fighters take tune ups. And when they do tuneups, do they do them against a 17-0 opponent with 16 knockouts and a super welterweight?” asked Contursi as he referred to the 5’11 Thurman.

he came from a loss and was for a couple of months with his new trainer, what you expect? Probably the journeyman on your sig is asking for a tune up now, who knows?

[Weebler I]

Floyd's welterweight titles are on lock for 2 more years, the WBO title will stay with Top Rank and Khan/Alexander will fight Floyd.

My understanding is Thurman is mandatory to Bradley's title. According to Rafael GBP and TR did a deal for Vanes-Lara last year so I think the sanctioning body should organise it.

Also, Bradley's contract might well be up with Top Rank.

No one in Maidanas situation would have fought Thurman. Coming off a loss, or being at the top of the division. Thurman was barely contender status and completely unknown.

LMAO. Devon Alexander fought Lucas ****ing Matthysse coming off of a loss.
