    Khan just barely beat Diaz and he had to get off the floor to win. Thurman only has to win by a bigger margin than Khan did to out do Khan. If he knocks Diaz out then he clearly out performs both Porter and Khan. I am sure he will knock Diaz out because Diaz has already been KOed 5 times so it should be easy for knock out specialist to win by by KO. I am surprised Porter didn't KO Diaz after the punching power he showed in his KO of Paulie.

      Diaz is a battle-tested veteran whom is respected enough to land these big fights against budding stars. Don't be suprised if he gives Thurman a bit of a tough time. Isn't Diaz a former champion at lightweight? There's no ****ing shame in that.

      Then again don't be suprised if Thurman beats the piss out of him since this is also an attempt to build his buzz, further. He might KO Diaz viciously, the road for Diaz is coming to close and it's obvious his promotional team is trying to feed him to the lions and put him out of his misery, as there's no money left in marketing him even if he beats One Time who is virtually a nobody himself in the grand scheme of things.

      Hash tag, truth serum.

        He has to dominate Diaz every round and then KO him p.will style if he wants to be impressive, Diaz was picked cause Thurman can beat him. So if he wins so what its what he was supposed to do and expected to do. Anything short of a Dominance Performance with a KO is a disappointment, even Diaz is contemplating retirement at this point in his career.

            Thurman just needs to let his hands go and show no respect to Diaz. Just jump him. This is a 6 rounder maximum.

              Well this is a showcase fight for Thurman. It would certainly help his case if he dominates and then takes him out. Diaz is a batlle hardened vet and former champion though.
