    I think Thurman needs to apologize to Floyd ---- "Like, please Floyd. I didn't mean what I said last nite."

    Disgraceful crowd. Thurman shutout a top notch fighter in a high level fight. That's just a shame that those fans couldn't appreciate that. Bundu isn't a bum and beats a lot of what Americans would consider "world class" fighters.

    That's exactly why he needed this kind of fight.

    I'm a big fan of Thurman, but it's important to realize he's not the finished product yet. He still needs matchups like this to help him round out his game. Keith's shown he can learn and develop, but he still needs more seasoning before they put him in with the best of the best.

    Bundo is not a solid fighter. Not even in the top 10. If he thinks Bundu is Awkward, what is he going to do with Maidana lol

    I think Khan will win a lop-sided decision tonight.

    Devon is slick, but he's not slick enough to dodge elite speed.

    Exactly this.

    Thurman is safe fighting guys that won't exploit his lack of knowledge in regards to positioning and punch selection/technique. Against the elite fighters in this division, he gets cut down fast. He needs to develop a bit more. This is a solid win, but does more to expose him than it does as an example of his position among elite level comp.

    Those 'fans' in the crowd are a disgrace and should never be allowed to watch boxing ever again.

    Bet they cheer mayweather, fickle clowns.

    One Time cant get a KO every fight, smh

    Alexander asking about "excessive holding".

    Is he planning to pull another maidana type showing? :lol::lol:

    Yes he's solid, yes he's top 10, and yes he's awkward.

    Thurman should learn from the "boos" and not promise knock-outs to casuals.

    Only put added pressure on yourself to take risks.
