Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman-Julio Diaz on April 26th on Showtime

[sugarsmosley]

I think one of the best things about Thurman was that he was fighting better opposition every fight, this is a huge step backward in competition

he took a step back unfortunately with soto, but it was a decent scrap and was like the third fight to a nice tripleheader

[-PBP-]

a stay busy fight that should lead to something bigger later in the year.

Beating Diaz doesn't get you Floyd and Porter/Paulie has to fight Brook. Still no title shot in sight for him in 2014.

feel bad for thurman because the guy is willing to step up but the best gbp could do is feed him julio diaz

looks like haymon and schaefer are changing their strategy...now they're trying to preserve their talents by not pitting their top fighters against each other.

Another wack fight from Gbp. They have all that talent, and there giving us this crap. What's the point in that fight? Really? Anybody in the planet wanna see this?

Not getting a title fight doesn't mean he wont get a bigger fight later in the year. I think thurman/matthysse is a bigger fight as would be thurman v ghost.

Yea that is a step back for Thurman unfortunately, a classic showcase fight.

exactly. its his 23rd pro fight. nothing wrong with starting the year by (hopefully) getting a huge KO win.

Julio Diaz trying to get back in the mix for the KOTY sweepstakes.

I still cant decide what my favorite KO of Diaz is. JLC gave him a good one. So did Holt. Something about how Rolando Reyes Koed him stands out. Just a hair more than the time Diaz got KO'd by Pollo.

Now I'm starting to take this personal Gbp have all the talents but doesn't put them against each other and when they do all of sudden it has to be on PPV FOH.....ether way I'm riding with thurman early KO.....but what can thurman do if the big names don't want a piece of him
