Why The backlash at thurman

[torosboxing75]

He is a disgusting coward. What makes it worse for me at least is the fact that he sold himself as something he truly is not. He fooled me. I used to shout ONE TIME like afool before... but as of late, I started noticing a change in his style, more backpedaling/retreating.

He should take the name ONE TIME off and stop saying KOs for life when he is fighting like a bish. It is disgusting. The whole time I was saying, this is not the Thurman that I knew. A few years ago he pressed the action and looked like a monster. He needs to realize he can press forward, be exciting and do so intelligently because he has physical and mental capabilities other offensive fighters do not.

But **** HIM hard, The crowd bood and he ignored them like Rigo does, "I'll continue fighting like a sissy I don't care". It's just disgusting seriously. **** him. WAR MAIDANAA!!!!

It was one fight. Calm down and give the guy a break.

because he started flapping his gums for a pac or floyd fight yet ran away from a 40 year old basically exposing his warped potential and upside as basically what it is....

hype.

if he was asian or a white european, and fought the same way and the same people, nobody would be hyping him up and these same "people" who hype him up would not be supporting him but hating on him.

This is ridiculous. I'm Puerto Rican and I hype Thurman up. It shouldn't have anything to do with race unless your racist.

]I dont get it. Bundu was extremely awkward and [/B]seemingly teak tough and you cant just blast everyone out. Not a great fight to watch, but I like watching Thurman on the whole. He would have learnt a great deal from this fight going forward. I'm still sold on him and as good as Khan looked last night, I still think Thurman is a nightmare for him.

Thurman needs to learn to throw a straight right, though. He seems to telegraph and loop the right hand something rotten every time he throws it.

Bundu was standing in front of him covering up not throwing a damn punch.......

I been trying to tell yall about Thurman pure fraud, who has still yet to face one top 15 WW, I'm glad the world has got to see who he truly is, his WWE promo's couldn't save him here..........

[torosboxing75]

Pretty much. People are too fickle. A Maidana fight would look completely different stylistically.

Hell yeah! When he called out Maidana I was like.. OK! Make it happen!

[Outworn]

Maybe cos he got San Antonio wrong. LOL!!!

Actually maybe cos everyone want to see a knockout and even so with someone who look smaller than him coming straight at him.

It doesn't help than he had Bundu down in the first minute but could not end him b4 the final bell..

Until Thurman gets punched in the face "One Time"

Well if it's so easy Maidana should stop avoiding the fight and prove it. He even avoided the question last night lol.


Losing twice to Mayweather doesn't put him at A level status. He needs to fight a top contender or retire.

Chino ko's him within 4, he can't fight going backwards, chinny, hands down style, throws wild telegraphed shots, not a big puncher at the top level, and he's a walking counter, Thurman spent the last 4 rounds get his shyt smashed in counter after counter, it was pathetic.......He's in Devon league........Chino has bigger fish to fry, he can even move up and target Canelo/Cotto

I guess we'll have to wait and see. Bundu is very awkward to fight and has a tight guard.

Yeah, some guys just can't be stopped and are built like steel. Who knows, maybe Bundu was one of those guys. I didn't watch the fight, but I think they're knocking on Thurman too much. Let him fight someone like Guerrero, Maidana, or Khan next to see him vs a Top 10 WW

I don't get it that is how Thurman fights, its his style. A lot of movement, zip in with a 3-4 punch combination and back out at an angle and on his bike. He has an amateur style.
The only fight I recall him fighting differently in was against that old southpaw that beat Williams all those years ago.

Bundu is extremely hard to look good against. He has a tight guard, a great chin, great conditioning, he has very good head movement, his feet are pretty quick for an old man, he constantly switching stances. I still think Bundu is underrated, the moaning shows that, hes a decent fighter who isn't coming to lay down against anybody.
Nobody is walking through him. They're going to have to earn it the hard way.
