    do you think thurmans glass chin was exposed last night? will it hold up to tougher harder hitting competition at 147? how would he do against a porter, jessie vargas, victor ortiz or josesito lopez? i think his career will be carefully handled and he will not be thrown to the wolves anytime soon, but i do see holes in his chin should he face a heavy hitter in the future.

    The shot he got caught with in the first round would drop most fighters. He recovered without running, holding or shelling up and recovered in around 10 seconds.
    His guard isn't high and tight enough for him to be glass jawed and not to have been KOed by now.

    Oh ffs, he was caught cold in the first 10 seconds and recovered in no time. He took some hard shots later on in the fight and he took plenty throughout his last fight with Chaves, and he didn't have any problems whatsoever, his chin is plenty solid.

    Clearly it was glass, as was evident by the beating he took, the KDs he suffered and the obvious, severe lingering effects of that shot the had him wobbled against a feather fisted opponent like JSK.

    hype builds for some people when a fighter looks great against subpar comp.

    i can see that some people on here are already in love with thurman and he is very exciting and entertaining with ko power but i see *****s in the armor. he definitely showed some happy feet after getting touched by karass. thurmans chin might not be absolute china but his chin is vulnerable to put it mildly. throw him in there with a providnikov and he will taste the canvas ONE TIME!!!

    Provodnikov is a guy who, if he catches anyone correctly with a shot he could put them away.

    I'm not that familiar with Thurman but he looked vulnerable to me. I would be hesitant to put money on him based on what I saw last night. SK is a slow, plodding type fighter with decent power. I think Thurman gets taken out with a harder punching, faster opponent. What Thurman has working for him, though, of course, is his power. He appears to be able to take out anyone but I don't think he stands up to elite comp.

    People claimed Brook had a glass jaw when he got rocked by Senchenko.

    some people need to realise, good shot doesnt mean glass jaw. **** Clottey went down from a Cotto jab, a ****ing jab - Clottey P4P had one of the best chins...
