Comments Thread For: Thurman: If I Get Maidana Next, I'll Go Through Him!

[Pugilist95]

im the first to defend someone who boxes but when all u talk about his how your going to walk thru and ko everybody im sorry but your ass is getting booed when u retreat it is what it is

Cept that isn't all he talks about.

Might as well fight Devon Alexander next

A lot of people are going to swing the other way and pick Maidana to beat Thurman's ass now.

Well I will raise my hand and be the first to admit it.

I thought Thurman would beat Maidana before, but after seeing on numerous accounts of how CHINNY Thurman is, I think Maidana Ko's him.
This dude is a knockout waiting to happen.

Maidana will land on will, all night long flush, Thurmans defense is no Mayweather, it's not even Broners defense.

i wouldnt call taking a big money broner then 2 mayweather fights ducking

Thats because you are ill informed. Maidanas team asked for three opponents to fight, when there 1st choice didnt pan out they selected Turman because they didnt know who he was. They a greed in principle to terms but when they found out who Thurman was they pulled out of the fight, Claiming they only wanted to fight a tune up, Maidana went on to fight 2 tune up fights after he ducked Thurman. Enjoy the facts though im sure the truth doesnt really matter.

I can tell by these post that most of these guys havent really seen many of Thurman's fights. Thurman is a counter puncher, he only steps in when he has his opponent hurt, and because of his power in both hands thats very often. Thurman is a COUNTER puncher get it through your thick skulls. Bundu barely threw a shot, he just fainted all fight and didnt engage. Plus i wouldnt say Bundu is a world beater by any means but he has a massive amateur back round like GGG and a lot of foreign fighters lately, multiple gold medals and a one time Olympian, to say anybody can walk through this guy is just blatant ******ity and reveals how little knowledge many of you "fans" actually have.

Guy starting to sound real annoying. Same way you went through the 40 year old dude?

I think this is potentially a great fight, but I think One Time has to be careful. He could One-Time or, like he said, he could get One-Timed. Either way, I'll be rooting for him.

WAR ONE TIME!!!

Thurman won every round and was never in any danger of losing. That's the definition of dominating.

your definition is hilarious. and youre the type to love to watch paint dry too! I like the kid, but that was one of the most boring fights ive seen. sell out crowd before the fight started were hyped on 1time, as am I. I even met some peeps from florida who flew out to watch the kid. byt the 3rd round, it was constant boos throughout the arena. even the old folks from florida were a bit disappointed. by the end of the fight, the whole crowd showered the fight with boos. you say it was a dominating performance, damn near everyone that night in the mgm disagree.

co-sign to thee mu***in fullest

First of all, good display of boxing skills by Thurman, but........................
I'm not sold on him yet, I've got to see him against a top welter, because only when you pair a top prospect against a top fighter is when you see his real colors.

Right now, I've got Maidana vs Thurman as a 60/40 fight in favor of Maidana, just based from what I've seen, like I said you can tell what a fighter is really capable of when is been in the ring with top guys, and Maidana has a lot of flaws but the dude is no joke.

Thurman seems pretty good, but he needs to face a top fighter, after that we'll discuss.

I didnt see boxing skills. I saw a guy running and not really landing clean all night. His accuracy is certainly questionable at this point, and a now a trend has started since he found he can't **** with ****ers (chaves fight). His last 3 fights he has chose to run more and more. He's not a boxer, he's a runner and he can be hit and will be hit against Maidana.

We shall see. I think Thurman is regressing, and have always thought Maidana would win. Last Saturday didn't change that.
