    Thurman needs to fire Dan Birmingham ASAP

    Before the fight I remember this fool Dan Birmingham talking shyt- "We're gonna win this fight I GUARANTEE IT." lmao.

    During the fight dumb ass Birmingham had no advice to offer to Thurman. Thurman tried to make adjustments on his own but it was too little too late.

    Thurman has never been the same since his real original trainer Ben Getty died. He needs someone who can truly motivate him to become the gladiator he once was.

    This Birmingham character is a weak ass who cannot motivate or teach Thurman anything. Thurman doesn't even see him as his real trainer.

    Thurman can come back, but he needs a real trainer who can light that fire again.

        Thurman fought a ****** fight. He had a great round in round 7, fighting on the backfoot and luring Pacquiao in, what does he do the next round? Goes right back to standing in front of Pacquiao, trying to be the aggressor.

          Standing in front of Pacquiao with a high guard is rarely a good idea. He should have learned from the Margarito fight.

            Let the trainer learn just as the fighter should learn. Shouldn’t drop him. Although I didn’t hear what his advice was during the corner break, I don’t like the idea of always jumping ship because of a loss. Thurman has plenty left if he chooses, smart guy, maybe he gets even better from this. I think he could have used his stutter steps and legs more in the fight, only really started late.

              If someone gave him a blueprint that said go toe to toe with Manny early that mfer should be fired cuz that was so ****** when I first heard it that I assumed it was some weird misdirection or just bs to distract Team Manny somehow.

              And anyone who signed off on that plan should be fired for not saying how ****** it was.

                    Lmao you guys are being ridiculous, Birmingham is actually a VERY good trainer. He taught Thurman how to box.

                    It is entirely Thurman's fault he thought he could stand in front of Manny Pacquiao and trade blow for blow with him.
