Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman Vows - "In 2015 I Promise More Action!"

Boxing fans are a fickle bunch. Not everyone can be knocked out. GGG for instance will eventually go the distance again with someone. A fighter from my hometown actually did once with GGG.

I think people are giving Thurman a hard time for no reason. Going the distance can be good to the development of a fighter. They learn and have time to practice new things.

It's going to be hilarious when someone finally gives him a chance and he ****s them up. One fight without a knockout and now everyone's off his bandwagon, yet they don't react that way when other fighters actually struggle to win fights.

I guess they were all just waiting to turn on Thurman for the first reason they possibly could.

Basically....

That isn't the point. The point is Thurman didn't sit down on a punch after the first round. If Keith actually tried for a KO but couldn't get it, that'd be a different story, but he didn't try. It's just like Wlad at times when he faces an overmatched opponent and doesn't try to go for a KO. There's a backlash. Thurman isn't immune to criticism, just because you would like him to be.

Shortly after his shut out victory over Leonard Bundu, interim WBA welterweight champion Keith "One Time" Thurman (24-0 21 KOs) sat down with BoxingScene.com to talk about his performance. While he pitched a shutout on the scorecards (120-107 by all three judges), the fans were frustrated by the lack of action that they are accustomed to seeing in a Thurman fight.

One time...more hype boxer

Hey Keith, how about fighting someone that isnt 40 or shot to pieces in 2015?
That would be a good start.
