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

[PBR Streetgang]

Most knowledgeable fans figured Lopez would give Thurman some fits considering Keith is coming off a long layoff and Josesito is a gamer. Lopez survives the early KD to hurt Keith and make it a close run thing; closer than we maybe anticipated.

In my opinion, Thurman is similar to a high performance sports car. When he's on his precision, mobility, athleticism and power make him an excellent stick and move sharpshooter - capable of beating almost anyone. However, if he's not fit or doesn't have his timing then his performance dramatically plummets. He's beaten alot of good names but can really struggle when his game is off or when he's in with a rugged inside fighter. He has heart and skills but he's fragile and high maintenance.

Clap it up for his honesty. Most fighters will just outright lie about it.

if Manny fought Thurman last night Manny KO's him

Very possible. So the question remains if they fight next, will that same Thurman show up? Or a better version? That is why it is an interesting fight.

I think Porter, Spence, or Crawford win if any of those are next for Thurman. But Pac? Really fun.

Its weird cos he started off like he hadn't been away, then the middle of the fight was a struggle for him.

Thurman's honesty about being hurt was refreshing, especially coming one week after we received a wheelbarrow full of BS from Broner after his lopsided loss to Pacquiao.
