Amir Khan vs. Keith Thurman

:good:deal

 

I don't think Thurman has the best chin. But, that is simply based on conjecture. It still has yet to be tested once he gets in the ring with a hard puncher.

When he fights Khan, he will have to fight different. He will have to fight outside his normal self.

 

One Time will find a way to drop Khan and he has enough power to put him out of his misery, goes without saying if Khan avoids the heavy shots he wins a decision, like against almost anybody except Mayweather. Even Keith said 'we might get outboxed by amir khan' at least he's honest. I just think Thurman is bound to land heavy on him, Khan's chin is under-rated believe it or not it was his idiotic positioning and staying in the pocket for punch 5 and 6 instead of being effective and getting out of harm's way.

 

Khan does have decent power and he is now fighting at the proper distance and he clinches at the proper time. His speed goes without saying. I think that he can give Thurman some problems especially since it seems that Thurman has bulked up and lost some speed. I noticed that in the Guerrero fight. However Thurman can box and is a vicious body snatcher. I think that if he gets to Khan on a regular basis then Khan will fall. If not, then it could get interesting.

 

0 for Thurman by points says everything I need to know lol.

 

Thurman is slow and a wild caveman. Khan slicking boxing on points. Thurman might quit.

 

Indeed, the general consensus is pretty much how we see it. King Khan on points, Keith via ko/tko. And (up to now) zero people voting for a Thurman points victory. I guess this thread has some very reasonable and knowledgeable posters who are not at all swayed by nationalist bias. No doubt the rabid lunatics like MVC (and his legion of alts) and co will be along soon to ruin it with his frenchie bs troll cr ap.

 

Even Thurman's rabid hater could never diss him in such a fashion. To be fair, Thurman and Brook are the divisions great unknowns and Keith could easily turn out to be the best.. But one can only assess a fighter on their work thus far and not on any possible potential.

 

He is faster than Garcia.

 

But who won and who got KTFO?:hey
For Khan is all about discipline. If he approaches Keith like he did Maidana he could pull it off.
