Keith Thurman is injured. Tszyu vs Fundora will now be for the WBC & WBO belts.

Not at all I'm just a guy that objects to being robbed. If you want to support the corruption in the sport go ahead but don't complain about it OK ?

 

Glad that some belts are on the line now. This card is actually looking a bit nice now, but not $70 nice… especially after we got Knockout Chaos for $40.

 

I don't care which promoter is doing whatever business model.

Zoo v Fundora is a good fight and one I want to see.

 

A little concerned that Tszyu is switching up gameplan completely...from a shorter orthodox to a taller southpaw...just weeks out.

Nonetheless looking forward to the fight.

 

I'm not concerned tbh. The greats used to fight more than every 6 weeks and managed just fine, if Zoo is the better man, he'll win the fight.

 

Huh? What about Fundora's style makes it more exciting that Thurman's style?......... I swear people just say anything these days.

 

So you are going to push this notion that Thurman injured himself purposely in order not to fight an individual he SIGNED a contract to fight..... Why didn't Thurman just...........NOT........sign the contract. Wow. These boxing forums leave room for the most illogical assessments given by a bunch of people who never lived the life they talk so much about.

No fighter accomplishes what Thurman has accomplished by fearing competition from another fighter.

 

What exactly did we learn about Thurman in the Pacquiao fight that is evidence he was exposed?........ Not a rhetorical question. Is there an actual detailed analysis, or is this another ignorant verbal jab at a fighter who dedicated more of himself to this sport than the lazy fans who can find half that energy to put more creativity in the jokes they throw at him.

 

Are you just trolling here.

Watch the two fight.

Fundora will bring pressure and a brawl.

 

It's not that deep pal. Sometimes things are said tongue in cheek you know.

 

I've seen both fight multiple times. A couple times in person. Suggesting that Keith's style wouldn't be as entertaining because he isn't a "brawler" is ignorant.

Like Thurman or not, Thurman's of counter punching, footwork, quickness, and power creates a great exchange for the pressure that Tim brings with his offense. Not saying that Fundora's style isn't entertain as well, but this sport is more than just 2 opponents trying to out punch each other.

 

I'm going to need you to work on that comprehension before getting so offended on what I stated. You let me know where I said YOU made a joke about him. Do I need to highlight what I actually said....

Now, back to what I actually asked about. The Pacquiao fight did not show that Thurman was struggling from inactivity. Not once in that fight did anyone tweet, or commentators suggest, or post fights state that Thurman's INACTIVITY is his downfall in that fight. Thurman was caught with a punch from Manny, that he had been caught with from 3 other fighters in his career. That is just a hole in his defense that he consistently showcases. He didn't struggle with timing in that fight. Yes he lost, but he wasn't brutally out boxed or beat up in the fight. He competed well. In his next fight you could see that he struggled with a little bit of timing when it came to really pressing a fighter whom he should be dominating. Of course inactivity effects fighters, but who is to say he has been out of the gym this whole time. Just because a fighter isn't in front of an audience and/or on a PPV card multiple times in a year, doesn't mean he is being inactive. Thurman as well as many other fighters who get this same critique express that they STAY IN THE GYM. Stay ready so they don't have to get ready is the cliche some use. Sparring multiple times vs multiple fighters for multiple rounds. All of that plays into a fighters performance. I see what you are trying to get at regarding Thurman but you assessment was incorrect.

Now how's bout you actually read my comment without trying to find a rebuttal for actually understanding what I'm saying.

P.S. Saying someone is "mentally shot" is controversial especially being that unless you are a therapist and have actually had him in for an evaluation personally, how can you claim that he "mentally" isn't capable of doing what he says that he is capable of doing. He himself would argue your comment. And those who aren't looking to discredit a fighter for being a victim of politics and injuries would give an argument as well, which makes the comment............controversial.....

 

So, you saying I should just ignore comments I feel is illogical, ignorant, and/or totally off base...... In that case, I wouldn't be able to converse in multiple conversations on this board...... That's no fun at all, buddy.......lol.

 

Amazing. Thurman is so inactive that he cant even train without getting broken

Fundora is an idiot. Little to no talent, just a freak.

 

So, to you, because I don't agree with a statement that I deem is ignorant and/or illogical, you feel you KNOW what fights I have and haven't seen?........... You truly think highly of yourself?.......lol.

Spinks a 2x world champion. Fear would have kept him out of the ring. You can't find a single example no matter how hard you tr (which is weird that you are trying) of someone becoming a world champion being fearful of world class level competition. Mike Tyson was a dangerous man and his quote of "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth" is one of the truest quotes in the sport. Tyson in his prime was walking proof of it.

Have you ever competed in the ring amateur or pro? Or at least been connected to someone competing on an international level?
