Thurman doesnt watch boxing not a fan

He's more of a track fan.

Explains his statement about it being a great time for fans.

That's not a good sign lol.

That means there's an even bigger discrepancy in boxing I.Q than originally thought.

In any sport, when you watch others play, you learn a lot about your own style in comparison and you learn little intricacies by watching others play.

Pac don't either lmao

I never understand boxers who don't watch boxing. I'd think since you are competing in it its just sorta part of the job to keep up with whos around or who's coming up.

Actually one of the things that got me doubling down on Fury was him talking a couple years back about 20 or so HW's probably & have some line of sight with them & their ability that suggested to me at the time he's putting in work outside of training & tries to learn as much about his potential opponents as possible. To me thats always a plus as more info usually is.

While Thurman always sounds to me like someone who was left permanently disabled in a car wreck, I have heard that Carlos Ortiz didn't like Boxing. No lie.

I can't tell you where I heard that. And I can't be bothered to track it down. So take it as you will. But it does provide insight, if you wish to believe it.

I think it's a reflection of the investment of their lives. They need that minute away. Time NOT to talk shop. Get their heads cleared.

Miguel Cotto wasn't a big fan of the sport when he wasn't in the ring either.

[GGG Gloveking]

He's more of a track fan.

Yea I can understand. Probably on boxing overload at times.

But to me I think its a massive benefit to be as familiar with opponents & styles & situations they've dealt with in other fights & just a million intangible things one might be able to pick up from a fight of ones opponent or potential opponents.

I just think whatever level you are capable of reaching watching more opponents & having a deeper knowledge of those in your division is gonna make you some % better than what you are capable of.
