    You're wrong already.

    I don't see too many people at WW getting in Thurman's way.

    you thought his footwork was good?

    it's pretty bad if i'm honest with you. very goofy and unnatural for him.

    a fighter who comes forward with good balance and footwork will make Thurman pay. he's much better when taking centre ring or coming forward. although to be fair, he'll get better if he keeps working on it.

    his right hand is taken out of play as well. it's only the left hook that works when going backwards. his future opponents need to look out for that.

    nothing wrong with his punching power though. good win over a dangerous fighter last night. just hope Diego gets more opportunities in the future. staying in Argentina won't do his career any favours.
    i'd like to see more of him. if he looks to improve in some areas, he could eventually become somewhat of a player in the 147 division. plenty of time left for him to do it.

    It was just a joke to take a dig at the fact he didn't know where the **** he was (ie San DIEGO!!!)
