Thurman gave up the entire first half of the fight, he doesnt have the heart Horn does. He wants a comfortably paced fight. Horn was willing to take a lot of shots to land his back. Thats what Thurman should have been doing the first half but that isnt his style. You seen Horn's face right? He was ***ED up.
Jeff 'The Hornet' Horn UNANIMOUSLY beat Manny. Compare the performances.

You're still in denial, bro. Let's just face facts. Jeff 'The Hornet' Horn is and was tougher than Keef 'At One Time' Thurman. Period. And that was on display tonight.
There was none. Same as Keef. That's my point. PEDs didn't do Manny any good against Horn if he did use them. Or Horn is just too damn good to be stopped by PEDs. Either way, my point is, it's clear that Horn's performance against a FRESHER Manny was better than Thurman's. Which negates the theory that Horn is some bum - bums don't outperform Keith Thurman against legends.Comment

Horn cuts, apparently that shows he lost a fight, geez, fanboys.
The difference between Horn and the pretenders is that he'll take a shot or two to get one in with a KO in mind and he can KO. In contrast Thurman showed too much respect and didn't look to control the fight, that is not how you beat Packy as the Hornet showed.Comment

And last night should have educated you, since you refuse to listen to Paulie in my sig, that CompuBox / Computrack is NOT the way to determine fight winners.
Thurman outlanded Manny by a pretty good margin, yet lost. Why? Because for 7 rounds Manny bossed Keef around the ring.

You see, last night proved that- Manny was NOT 'washed up' when Floyd embarrassed him
- Manny was NOT 'washed up' when Horn bullied him
The fact is, people didn't like the dirty fighting yet refuse to accept what Paulie also said: there's no such thing as a clean fighter, it's all about seeing what the ref lets you get away with. And as Porter said on fight night, it's not pretty, but it's EFFECTIVE.
People. Thurman is a great fighter that lost to a legend. But the fact that he took so much of a beating validates that Jeff' The Hornet 'Horn is easily one of the toughest guys in the business today.Comment

Which is why Horn definitely deserves more respect. That's called a solidly executed game plan; heart and toughness to walk through fire and become a legend just like Danny Green, and he did it better than one of the top fighters in the sport.Comment

... I guess that what you are trying to say is that Thurman didn't show the same heart and toughness, which was obvious...Comment
