He was always an ambush fighter with so so workrate and ran as defense.

You just might have nailed it.

Two years after defeating Danny Garcia for what's thus far his career-defining victory, Thurman finally appeared to have his swagger back. He oozed self-belief, rather than spouting perplexing responses unbefitting of an undefeated champion...
