Thurman had a big opportunity to show the difference between a flat footed guy who has good hands and potential greatness and either he couldn't or he didn't. His corner didn't help.
    LOL all I heard them say ALL NIGHT was "be smart, be smart". I can imagine Thurman thinking "damn, am I fighting DUMB?"

      See all this time when they were saying that to Thurman? I expected him to reach for his shoe with the glove and dial 99.



      Sorry couldn't resist.

        Thurman had issues with karas and collazo so I give brook a win over Thurman and I think Canello would knock Thurman into tomorrow. And that fight could happen at catch weight or even 147 canelo fights at 154

          The only thing elite about Brook is his mouth which don't match his skills.

            Brook is elite though imo.
            If Danny and Thurman are not elite...then Brook sure as hell isn't.

              The entire sport was watching last night and they just didn't deliver at all. One spent the championship rounds on the run and the other let him, because after 34 fights, he still doesn't know how to cut off the ring.
              That **** in your Avi sure as hell not elite.

                  Agreed. The fight wasn't terrible, and cong**** to Thurman for getting the win. However, I was disappointing in how ordinary they both looked.

                  I always had Brook ahead of Thurman and Garcia up until that GGG loss. I'm not sure how it affected him. If Brook is still the same fighter he beats both. If Errol Spence beats Brook, I'm confident he stops Thurman by the end of the year.

                      NOBODY in boxing today is "ELITE"! It is some guys with talent and potential to be ELITE one day but none are at that level just yet
