    By dominating and showing you are clearly the better fighter. He didn't show he was on a completely different level than Zaveck.. because remember Zaveck is 36yrs old at this point and was coming off a huge layoff.

    I'm not really hating on him, just saying he's not what HBO is selling. He's an above average fighter. He'll fight for a belt, and if guided right he can win one... but he won't be a star... nor will he be a guy I seek out.

    Thurman looked nice. Needs some more contender fights though. Still is too 'Nate Campbell' for me. Ishida or Pirog would be amazing for Thurman.

    If I'm Thurman's manager I try to setup the fight with Berto

    Cloud gonna beat the dog**** out of Bhop.
    Expect a ugly fight with tons of crying about fouling, theatrics, and headbuts

    Impressive performance by KT. Showing matureness, just needs to keep that left up. Ate way too many rights. Zavek helluva chin. WAR Bhops!!!

    I have changed by pick for this fight guys.

    I said Hopkins would beat up Cloud and possibly stop him as he is too open but I dont think Hopkins can keep Cloud off him for 12 rounds. Cloud throws volume with pretty good power behind all his shots. The volume will get to Hopkins and I think Hopkins actually gets stopped here. It will be a sad night for boxing.

    :think I can't help but wonder if HBO would've been pushing a build-up of Thurman vs. Canelo instead of Thurman vs. Broner if Canelo hadn't recently gotten tied up with Showtime. (although I believe he isn't under contract beyond Trout?)
