You wont see this too often...

Saturday I attended a small amateur boxing tournament in Orlando, Florida...halfway through the card they have a novice female bout (girl from Florida was competing in her fourth bout ever) and her cornerman is a young guy (youngest coach there) who has long hair and is wearing a "St. Pete Boxing Gym" tee-shirt...and Im standing there wondering how many people in the crowd of about 150 people realize that girls coach is current welterweight champ Keith Thurman?

[black.ink]

How was he in the corner? Did his girl win?

[SnakeVen0m]

This is awesome, did you talk to him afterwards?

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

Yea, we talked quite a bit, we have several mutual friends

[bojangles1987]

Is Thurman from Florida?

[Hougigo]

Wow..... that's cool

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

[Hougigo]

Is this a hobby?
Is she like really close with him?
Is he considering a future in training afterwards?

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

he's from Florida, yeah...REALLY cool kid...just a regular guy at the fights hanging out...he helps with the amateurs in the gym when hes not busy with his own fights...

Someone said they coached with Thurman before. I think it was Cauhtemoc?

Cool stuff man. Too bad I don't think he trains out of St Pete/Clearwater anymore. I wouldve loved to drop by the gym and see him when I went back home.
