Shots Fired: Thurman "Maidana is Ducking Me"

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

Oh man. I would pay front row to see Thurman chase Khan around the ring all night. LOL

From what I've seen of Thurman, if the ring is less than 18 ft. it'll be a short track meet for Amir. But with that said. Something tells me Devon beats Khan if he can weather the initial onslaught. He might be riding the confidence train after going the distance with Randall and catching a breather with Purdy. But even with the controversy. Devon's resume has shaped up nicely.

I give Amir this fight with Devon to gauge if he needs to hang um up. But Im bout ready to say Amir might wanna think of a new career path.

Name another top 147 lb'er with a name that would have fought Thurman at that time?

Maidana was not a top 147 pounder (0-1 at WW) nor does he have a "name". He was coming off a very embarrassing loss and close fight with Morales

[Da Machine]

Maidana was known to people. A top fighter in the division. Whether he was coming off a loss or not, fighting Thurman at that point would be ******. And ****** for any other top fighter at the time.

Only the extreme unsaavy in business fight a dangerous, big puncher, who is unknown as a tuneup or stay busy fight.

[DoktorSleepless]

What situation is that? He already agreed to fight him then pulled out like 3 weeks before hand. Thurman was a prospect, and Madiana and his team gave the worst ducking excuse ever, that they needed a tune up first. A tune up to fight a prospect, i 've heard it all

Would you consider Garry Russel a tuneup because he's a prospect? Or Demetrius Andrade?

EDIT: I think I misunderstood you. I'm still not sure what you mean.

[Nicolino]

A tune up to fight a prospect in Thurman? Thats makes no sense at all. Thurman was the tune up

Chino career is doing great, BTW i heard Proska was fighting on fridays, oh wait, not anymore? thursday maybe? will he ever fight again? he could try with this new bare knuckles boxing tv show i bet he would do great there. How long you are you keeping that sig? Just asking.

[DoktorSleepless]

Russian, I don't understand what you mean. What do you mean by a tuneup to fight a prospect Thurman? That implies he was planing to fight Thurman right after his tuneup, which I don't think he ever claimed.

Absolutely nobody knew Thurman, nor was he ever a stand out in any sense of the word. Comparing those to 2 to thurman is completely reaching. Thurman was just some young hard punching kid. In fact Thurman just fought someone like that yesterday.

"Maidana was known to people. A top fighter in the division"




Despite getting completely shut out in his fight before to a guy that arguably lost his 3 previous fights.

that young hard punching kid had a belt, that's the difference.
