Comments Thread For: Thurman: Lopez Had Me Buzzed, He Had Me Shaken Up

All you're saying to me is that Keith has faced and knows how to handle adversity.

Can't say the same about Spence. He's only faced a pre-battered Brook. Hasn't taken any actual challenges.

Exactly, these dudes hold onto every little hiccup and ignore the overall picture. Dude was moving from round 1 through round 12 last night, his chin got tested and held up, and he outboxed dude in every round except for a couple against a guy who was motivated and had a great game plan. This reminded me of the Bud - Benavidez fight.

Let`s not forget Collazo nearly made Thurman kneel years ago.

Spence stops Thurman.

Right and Thurman was at full strength in that fight!

I don't think Thurman has the power to stop guys at the elite level. I mean Andre Berto of all people stopped Lopez lol I get Thurman was coming off a 22 month layoff but he couldn't take advantage of those wide looping punches to KO Lopez. I mean Lopez telegraphed about every punch he threw and Keith goes by "One Time".. He needs to learn how to hold when he's hurt if the time ever comes he faces Spence or Crawford that jogging around the ring technique won't work.

I'll be easy on him, he got the win like he was supposed to and he was able to fight back when he needed to, to get the W. To be as hurt as was and still have the will power to keep fighting and not giving up under pressure says a lot about the character of a champion!

Many of you see this all wrong. Lopez was a real strong contender. Thurman hit him with everything in the book. Lopez gave his all where most would quit like that big sorry heavy weigh on the under card. Thurman will beat Spence. He ain't quick enough to return fire.

Yes, people pretend like Thurman is injured his whole career.

that is a bunch of horse s hit. Lopez is shot and Maidana KO'd Lopez in a great fight when Lopez was in his prime. Thurmans people knew Lopez was a shot fighter that is why they picked him and got burned. The Lopez that fought Maidana KO's thurman

Lol he was literally injured during the Collazo fight. Teddy Atlas even mentions it during the broadcast. His left hand was injured.

I also heard Thurman during the Collazo fight had cancer diabetes blinded in both eyes and hodgkins disease. how did Thurman win that fight?

[JakeTheBoxer]

As I said, he is injured his whole career. Well at least he wasn`t injured when he outboxed Zaveck and Bundu and stopped Soto Karass.
