    You have as point, but I think this fight was specifically seen as a chance to practice & learn. You could clearly see Thurman "taking it easy" in the first half, working on footwork & body shots.

    Thurman just doesn't do anything at an A-level. He's not that fast, he loops too many shots, his defense isn't all that great.

    Good win, over a solid guy. I was really hoping that Thurman would show a new dimension stepping up today and really separate himself over a guy like Zaveck.

    3rd fight I have seen of Thurman's and have yet to see anything close to savage power that HBO keeps talking about.

    Why are folks trying to get on the judges and that was a shutout people handing Zaveck pitty rounds.

    thurman is very well spoken, slight stutter as well.
