Comments Thread For: Thurman: I Want To Damage Collazo More Than Khan Did

[robbyheartbaby]

Hmm Haymon is a genius. Of course we can see this fight for what it is, and Thurman has done what he has had to do thus far.

[FlatLine]

Khan ruined Collazo, he just won't be the same fighter after that beating he took that night. It's game over. Thurman dealing with a dead man walking.

[-PANDA-]

I hate that thurman is being fed leftovers, he has so much more potential. I'd really like to see him fight bradley but that probably isn't going to happen in the near future

I hope he makes a statement in this fight and forces khan to fight him, but I wouldn't be surprised if they put him in with algieri next

if collazo fights like he fought khan, he is getting ****ed then. he didn't rise his hand, was stopping everything with his face like trying to be a "tough" guy

Using Khan's name to stay relevant is the "to do" thing in boxing. We all knew about Brook, but even Thurman secretly idolizes Khan.

No....they just both think he's a puussy

As do 98% of the boxing community. It's an almost universally held opinion.

Wel he has to stop Collazo or drop him three times or this fight will be a failure.

You ****ing better.

Khan won't be forced into anything, not for any terms.

They're building towards a Brook-Thurman showdown. Both need to make statements in their next fights especially Brook who is not as well known in the US and has the tougher, more high profile fight.

WBA 'regular' welterweight champion Keith Thurman (25-0, 21KOs) is looking to do a number on Luis Collazo (36-6, 19KOs), when they clash on July 11th at the USF Sundome in Tampa, Florida. The fight tops the Premier Boxing Champions debut on ESPN.

Thurman is hoping to upstage British star Amir Khan, who faced Collazo last May on the Floyd Mayweather vs. Marcos Maidana undercard. Collazo went down three times in the loss to Khan. He came back in April and got a second round knockout of Christopher Delgado.

Well that shouldnt be too hard, Khan did more clinching than punching.

[wlliam]

He should be able stop Collazo, he just need to stop being sooo wide because Collazo can hurt him if he left himself open.

I see that too. Thurmans a good fighter, his power carried him this far not necessarily his technical skills. He pulls his shots and some are like u said, wide. Hes beatable.
