      LOOL Spot on, Collaz owas walking through thurman's punches.

      And Atlas comparing Thurman to Tyson at the start of the fight..couldn't be accurate. Another guy who could give it but couldnt take it.

        The strange thing is, he went after soto karrass yet moves away from average punchers like bundu and collazo. I don't think he's as good I thought or advertised.

          agreed, but you cant say that unless you're a 'hater' or you're from 'across the pond'

          goddamn yanks

          we will wait and see, i have a feeling he will fold when he's in with good opposition, i will be the first to give him props if he proves my feeling wrong though.

          The thing is, haymon will feed him bum's and avoid any kind of test for as long as possible.

                    Completely missed the point to No Surprise! It is more about Body Shots In GENERAL not just who dish them out and who receives them. It is a Punch that would put anybody down, those things don't feel good at all
