Does Keith Thurman pass the Maidana Test?

I love the point you raised about Maidana going 3-0 against hype jobs. That should be like his new nick name.Comment

I think Thurman knocks him out The Bundu fight has everyone hypnotized. Boxing fans have the memory of a fly. Bundu is awkward, there is a reason he was undefeated. Maidana is awkward too, and far better, and Keith will be retreating part of the time but I think the fight changes dramatically when Thurman lands. One of two things happen, either Maidana backs off and Thurman ends up winning a decision or he goes for broke, in which case, although he may catch his man and overwhelm Thurman, I believe Thurman will know how to handle it, to a degree at least, and end up hurting Maidana and finishing him with a big shot.
This would be a good fight. Maidana could eat him for breakfast but may end up eating some fists. Make it happen.Comment

I don't know about easy but I'm pretty convinced he'd win in an 8 rounds to 4, or 7 rounds to 5 fight. I just don't see how Maidana wins unless he lands a big shot that KOs Thurman. Thurman will outbox him so Maidana will need a KO to win.Comment
