Comments Thread For: Thurman: My Biggest Mistake In 2019 Was My Weight Management

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Whatever comes of his 2020 campaign, Keith Thurman has vowed that it won't include any of the same mistakes he made the prior year. The former welterweight titlist has been forced to sit on the lone loss of his career-a split decision defeat at the hands of Manny Pacquiao-for more than 10 months, and likely much longer as the sport continues to remain on hold due to the ongoing coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The decisions made in his life leading to that point have all been taken well into consideration as self-maintenance continues while waiting for the chance to return to the ring.

From hard work and dedication to "ice creams and meditation".

Ladies and gentlemen, Keith "Cosmic Bullshìt" Thurman.

I think fighters should just admit the other guy was better regardless of what went wrong leading up to the fight or while in the fight. And don’t start a sentence with, “I’m not making excuses,” but then you go on to say a bunch of excuses or create excuses months later when someone asks you a about the fight or during an interview. It comes off like sour g****s. I guess it’s pride or ego for these guys when they lose. But you come off better when you just admit the other guy was better.

The real problem is that shrinking down comes at a cost and at 154 Thurman is small and his vaunted power is just average.

Thurman will come back stronger.. An he will be the man to beat!!! Keith needs another great performance like he did vs porter or garcia.. An he will be the man again! Spence and Crawford are the big money fights Thurman could make after a impressive performance.. But a stoppage would remind him and his fans who he is!

starting to sound Like Kovalev

excuses after excuses, the smoke, the trainer, the lay off, the marriage, etc etc.
your biggest problem was not a problem in the previous years.You have gifts against Garcia and some say against Porter.so The problem is not your weight.
Your problem in 2019 was Manny Paquiao. Your big Mouth.
Pride Always precede Destruction.

If the wife screams at him about not eating ice cream the way she was banshee screaming at him against Pac he just might be able to maintain just to keep her quiet. She's up there with Froch's wife in the ungodly screaming woman dept

Pac and his "little t-rex arms" was his major problem lol.

I thought his biggest mistake was to cherrypick a little old man for an easy payday.
