Comments Thread For: Thurman's On Verge Of Stardom, Says Dan Birmingham

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Each time Dan Birmingham works Keith Thurman’s corner, the veteran trainer becomes more convinced the fighter nicknamed “One Time” is headed toward stardom.

The undefeated welterweight concluded a stellar 2013 by stopping stubborn Mexican contender Jesus Soto Karass in the ninth round Saturday night at Alamodome in San Antonio. Another impressive performance by the hard-hitting Thurman (22-0, 20 KOs, 1 NC) left the Clearwater, Fla., native with victories over Soto Karass (28-9-3, 18 KOs, 1 NC), previously unbeaten Argentine contender Diego Chaves (22-1, 18 KOs) and former IBF welterweight title-holder Jan Zaveck (33-3, 18 KOs, 1 NC) during this calendar year

it is He, not his rivals, that need 2 do the seeking 2 achieve greatness....challenge ANY 1 in his weight, or @ '54 if he wants, & beat them...he has the tools & a VG (very under rated) trainer, who controls a corner well...Keith listens 2 him, that is obvious...

I've said this for awhile Thurman's the next superstar of boxing - forget Broner look no further than Keith. - I hope he gets a World Title shot next an I'm sure he will be in the mix for Mayweather in Sept or early 2015. I hope they get him Porter or Maidana next.

His KO of Karass was awesome, won me over as a fan lol.

I think he will be the one to dethrown Mayweather.

[Bushbaby]

Ohh yeah. This is the new bandwagon.

Thurman deffinitely has a lot of potential because he has a great style and goes into his fights with a great mentality. I really liked what he said about not being scared to lose his 0 because thats saying that he isn't scared to be tested against anyone, and if he's willing to fight anyone and does it succesfully then superstardom will be inevitable.

Thurman should get the same push that Broner had. He has the real rising star potential.

Thurman should fight Chino next....I think Chino didn't want it in the past....maybe he's feeling better about his chances now

I'm starting to warm to Thurman....still think he gets knocked out for first lost!!
