Why I don't think Thurman can beat Broner @ 147

[Russian Crushin]

That's because we're talking about Rees, Broner had no reason to respect him. Don't get me wrong though, I'd pick Thurman here. I really like Broner over Maidana and plenty of other WWs, but Thurman is a big 147 and Broner may need to allow himself to adjust to the division before he decides to tangle with Thurman.

Broner didnt "want" to get hit. Yea he didnt respect him at all but he is absolutely hittable. If Rees can hit you, so can thurman and he would hit him with 10X the force. Broner's entire career has been bullying his opponents. That wont happen with thurman

True, but essentially, Thurman is swapping power for Rees's speed.

What's the point in having power when you won't be able to land it?

Thurman is not slow. His is rather selective and pretty damn accurate. Saying thurman wouldnt land is pretty ridiculous. Broner wouldnt fight him like he has everyone else

[Spray_resistant]

Broner's defense is not very good, just because he is trying bless his little heart doesn't mean its working

[daggum]

you don't have to land punches to win fights. you ever seen calzaghe-hopkins? even the paulie-broner fight was close even though broner was the one landing cleanly. if thurman throws hard punches that hit broner's guard then circles away broner is having a long night. broner still probably gets the decision though because he's a haymon hype job.

Thurman ETs Broner Berto-style

I agree with you on this 27. Thurman showed ingenuity in the chaves fight but Broner is a step up in pedigree. I wouldn't say Broner kos Thurman but I see him winning the d solid.

[HanzGruber]

he landed 2 flush shots and 2 grazing shots lol, he was hitting broners arms all night

[MAXIMUS~RICO~13]

Thurman vs broner would be a good fight, two hype jobs that are really good, just not great.

which beats shelling up and not throwing all night...
