Keith thurman breaks down the art of taking a good shot

[Weebler I]

Thurman has allot of buzz following him, I think the jury is still out on him. The Soto fight will bring allot of light to his boxing future, Jesus always brings it with pressure and the punching volume. This next fight will be big for both fighters.

Thurman is going to box on the backfoot from the outset, from 0.55 and again at 1:50.



Also "Changes" at 2:20, a GOAT track.

dont thuck me thon

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Exactly holmes, everyone falling in love with a power puncher yet again. The dude has beaten tomato cans, even his power is overrated imo, not as devastating as people like to make out.

His rhythm is predictable as hell, he's one dimensional. movement nothing special, honestly I don't get what people see in him he looks pretty dang ordinary to me.

you know you are describing victor ortiz,,,, power puncher, beats only tomato cans, predictable, one-dimensional, movement nothing special, etc

I like what I have seen thus far from Thurman and think the Chaves win will look better in time, he looked like a pretty good fighter with excellent power to me.

One Time baby! That is all it takes. Part of my top 3 favorite fighters in the game (Triple G, Cotto & One Time).

Kieth will be elite one day

[Sugar Adam Ali]

I dont think keith will be elite one day, but right now he is a beast much like maidana in 09, or margs in 05-06,,,

Thurman is one of the most exciting fighters to watch, and would beat alot of guys at 147-154,,, I just dont think he will ever be a top p4p guy like mccallum, floyd, manny, tito, etc

but he still one of my faves,,,

Bad bad idea for fighting Karass....Thurman is a greyhound, Karass is a racehorse. If he tries to me Mr Technical he's gonna be in for a loooong night. He might get his ass Cotto'd. Karass is gonna be well prepared for this fight, has an elite engine, elite chin, and will never stop coming. Will Thurman be able to weather the storm? We're gonna just have to wait and see. This fight is make or break for the one dimensional Thurman.

Why not, he does need to tighten up his defense a bit but he shouldn't be an easy night for anyone at WW.

He's a lot more skilled than Maidana and Margs though. That's the difference. We've got a guy who not only can punch, but we've got a guy that can also box, dance, and **** on the inside, intelligently. We've got a guy who can make adjustments on the fly. He's got a lot more to prove, but the kid is skilled. With the modern greats retiring soon, I don't see why Keith wouldn't be elite at 47 with Pacquiao, Cotto, Mayweather out of the picture. At 54, I wouldn't favor him against Trout, Canelo or Lara, but Keith is a tough challenge for Tim, Adriean and Devon. He could definitely be an elite Welter in the coming years.
