    Must suck being Thurman's trainer.

    All he goes on about is Ben Getty, dude is obsessed with him, his current trainer get's zero praise. We get it Keith, Ben taught you a lot and gave you confidence etc... but move on dude it's starting to look like you were 'touched' by the guy and you can never forget those experiences with him.

    Lol I agree, Dan has done so much for him and he hardly gets mentioned.

      I watched a video interview with Birmingham, and he himself was giving Ben Getty all the praise, saying he was just continuing the work. He was humble about it himself, so I don't think it's an issue. I actually think it's pretty cool of Keith, so many fighters move on from early trainers without a second thought.

              Anybody into boxing knows who Dan Birmingham is.

                  This. I highly doubt Dan gives a crap, as long as his 10% keeps rolling in.

                    Yep, he did. Thurman came up through the dungeon. Had to fight all those guys in the gym, and a huge reason why he's as successful as he is today.
