Comments Thread For: Brook's Promoter Confident Kell Beats Keith Thurman

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

I personally think the boos were only temporary and once people learn more about who Bundu is, they'll give Thurman the credit he deserves.

So I don't think that rules out a match with Brook.

thurman did goo against bundu, i do feel like he could have been more offensive, only time he hurt bundu was when he sat down on his hook in the first round. Other than that he throws half power when hes moving.

Thurman vs maidana, maidan would beat him. Honestly, lets see thurman vs either berto, ortiz, or guerrero at this point. Nice step up for him either way even if it one of those 3.

Actually, Thurman hurt Bundu more than once. I think in either the 8th or 9th round, Thurman buckled his knees again.

Maidana can't handled body shots and if Thurman lands one of them, it's lights out of Marcos.

They eyed with Khan and JMM, I think they haven't got to fight immediately against the mando. If there is a new champion than first he has the right for non mandatory opponenet. Or I know it wrong?

Do will have to fight a mando before August next year I think, but they want to free up the summer for a stadium fight vs Khan or JMM, so taking care of the mandatory would be a good way to go ahead.

Eddie and Brook love to talk about so many fighters and how Kell would beat them all but never actually fight any of them.he was mandatory for 3 years before he grew some balls to get in the ring with Porter.KELL fights again in March,im sure Thurmann will be ready but get no offer.Brook will defend against someone who's not in the top 20 and then start begging Khan for a big payday again

You know he was injured like a week after becoming champion right?

There's no base to stand on in this post at all, it's absolutely atrocious.

You'd be lucky to get $1.5m to face Thurman right now whereas Khan and Brook make $5m a piece before PPV against each other. How can you not get this?[/QUOTE]

brook doesnt deserve a huge pay day,

thats the bottom line..

28 years old, 33 fights and only won the IBF on his 33rd fight. sorry thats a **** resume...

he beat porter in a **** fight..

[Zhang Yong Jun]

The Brook has only one name on resume! Porter!

He has not proved to be elite!

Is it just me or am I the only one who thinks its funny that both thurman and porter both fought at higher weights in the ams, i think porters fought at 154 as a pro, but both had to come down to 147 to be what? COMPETITIVE! unfortunately both r still not that impressive.

Keith fought as a Welterweight in the amateurs. Lost to Andrade in the finals for the olympics at Welterweight, which is 152lbs. For those of you that don't or haven't fought, amateurs have same day weigh ins. So making 152lbs on the day of the fight... all these pro welterweights come into the fight at 160lbs. There's no problem for Keith to make weight.

Bradley and Porter both fought in the amateurs at Middleweight though.
