Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Thurman Will Travel To UK For Brook Shot

[Bronx2245]

I'm liking this guy Brook more than Amir Khan already. Thurman as the first title defense takes balls! Make it happen!

If Kell "The Fist with the Lisp" Brook comes in the same shape he was in for Porter it'll be a damn good fight. Possible UD or late stoppage for Kelly B - He wasn't budged once by Shawn's windmill shots and I reckon he could actually take Thurman's punch.

Thurman's a harder challenge than Porter, but I agree Kell can take his shots and punish him for holding his hand too low.

That, is the absolute truth. America may be the Boxing mecca where most come to fight for major titles, but European fighters travel more than fighters from America. Kudos to Brook last night...he seems like a genuinely good guy. I'm a fan.

Maybe he'll ask you out on a date Raceman...

Freakin ward man. I like his style but it's stuff like that which bothers me. Guys like Crawford and thurman are willing to go out the us but ward's like "nope Oakland is good for me."

Why should Ward do anything that Froch wants? He already beat Froch easily. Froch has no leverage. Since when is England the place to hold a big time fight. Groves and Froch in The U.K. makes since but Ward Froch is a Las Vegas fight or nothing.

I don't know if Ward said that but it's widely regarded he's an idiot. That's why he's had 1 fight in 2 years or whatever and is getting butt ****d by Goosen.

Ward is also in a higher position than Thurman. Thurman has to say he'll do this, that and the other to make himself relevant.

Ward is regarded as an idiot? By who? Dip *****s who like to complain and bicker on boxing forums on the internet..? Andre Ward is regarded as the #2 p4p fighter in the sport the last time I checked. He beat Carl Froch already. He is in a superior position in the sport to Froch. Carl Froch is the idiot if he believes that a fighter that dominated him in the ring all of the sudden needs to do his bidding to get a fight with him. And all of you so called boxing fans that trash Ward (the boxer) and favor Dan Goosen (the promoter) are drama queens and gossip geeks, not boxing fans. If his business with Goosen isn't working out and he feels he's been treated unfairly it's his right to seek whatever legal means that he sees fit to resolve the situation. Andre Ward is a gold medalist and a unified champion. He definitely has status in the sport. And you're completely over analyzing the situation with Thurman with all this conjecture about why he would say whatever he said. He's a fighter and so is Kell Brook. If you combine the fact that they are both welter weights it's not such a far fetched notion that they may fight. You would think it was obvious, but maybe you think that you're too smart to consider the obvious...

I didn't say Ward was a bad boxer. I said he's an idiot in business terms. That's why a guy that he dominated in the ring is currently making 4 or 5 times the money he is.

It is pretty far-fetched that Brook and Thurman fight any time soon considering the vast amount of better options available to Brook.

Las Vegas....lol. Ward-Froch is not a big enough fight to hold in Vegas because Ward sells no tickets outside of Oakland.
