    The guy is very impressive other than his chin which is still untested he has great speed, great power, and hes not in love with his power at least not yet so he boxes well too. The only thing is that he doesnt seem to take risks to go for the KO. He had Guerrero close to out of there, he had weight advantage, speed advantage and power advantage and he let Guerrero survive. He is no doubt one of the best out there right now but I just feel like when he fights a pressure fighter maybe like Maidana or has to move up to lmw he will start having some problems. still very good boxer though i wouldnt mind seeing Mayweather or Pacquiao face hijm.

    Well Thurman did went for the kill after he knockdown Guerrero but i guess you forgot to mention about that lol. Thurman fought great. Guerrero is not a 1 punch ko artist but his punches aint paulie level of punches. I think Thurman would easily beat 1 dimensional Maidana who doesnt have Guerrero chin. Guerrero chin is A+ great.

    Bradley. He's a better boxer and you can't knock him out.

    I felt like he couldve put more pressure on him after the KD and fought more aggressively the last 2 rounds instead of being on the backfoot. Dont get me wrong hes a good fighter but like I said he wont get the fans behind him fighting like those last two rounds and without the fans he wont get to fight Pac or May before they retire.

    Needs to work on his cardio. He doesnt have a 12 round gas tank.

    That's what he was doing during the rounds in which he was "running"

    Keith really is a visionary!

    He did put pressure on Guerrero after he kd him but Guerrero was safe by the bell. The next round Guerrero show heart like a lion. Lets give guerrero credit for taking those shots. Guerrero chin is just granite.

    Reminds me of a smaller, less good, young Roy Jones Jr.

    Outstanding performance by Thurman. He is a very well prepared fighter. The future is bright for him.

    I like Thurman, he tries to get guys out of there and throws with bad intentions

    He can box and he can fight

    I will say this outcome wasn't unexpected. Not surprising that Thurman was able to outbox Guerrero using his speed and movement. Not surprising that it went the distance as Guerrero is a good, tough fighter.
