Technique wise he's sloppy. Shoulda been dropping that left hook to stop Quintana from running. And his right was a lil high. But when he landed on Quintanas gloves you could see Quintana had that look like "oh fuck!"

[Habecki]

Counter puncher with big power who can bring the fight to you. Rare.

Hopefully gets in with a live body next time out.

That whiteboy be hitting hard

I was impressed with what I saw. He kind of fights like a bar fighter, so no matter how good everything is with his power, accuracy, or chin, I think he will only get so far on the world class level. Great start with Quintana though.

the guys got the goods.

i stand by this statement.

Still not impressed with him. If people are trying to hype this guy up, I don't see it.

[orriray59]

He put in a good showing against a faded fighter. Decent stuff by Thurman, but I'd like to see him in with a better opponent before I can really gauge his abilities.

His trainer, Dan Birmingham, is plenty good and has been training him since he was an amateur. He has tons of experience facing top flight fighters, and before he was even a pro was already sparring guys like Winky Wright, Jeff Lacy and Chad Dawson.

I don't think we've seen all the tricks up Thurman's sleeve just yet. He's fighting aggressive and powerfully because his opponents haven't been at his level. I think we'll see a much more measured fighter who pays more attention to defense once the level of his opposition moves up a notch or two. His natural style is really more boxer-puncher than brawler, but we haven't seen that too much yet because he's been able to blast his recent opponents out of there.

he looks good. i hope he becomes the future of boxing

Laughing because a guy who sucks and has overrated power just made you look like a dumb ass in front of everyone. That's all
