I'm thinking the same thing, can see Thurman winning a questionable decision. 8/1 in uk bookies for a bundu win, think that's good value
You know damn well if that Was Pacquiao vs Maidana and we all saw Manny get caught with that same punch from chino in the 3rd rnd . Every F lomo on here would be all over Mannys ass saying : "You saw that !? KTFO6 almost happen again!" "He was BADLY hurt !!" "Maidana almost put Manny BACK TO SLEEP !! Marquez ruined his chin !! " ETC You would've been hearing all of these comments AND MORE . Lets be real here , You know its the truth .
Thurman is an exciting boxer and I'm certain the power is legit. If he stops Bundu it will be impressive, mainly because I rate him as a slick operator who doesn't take much punishment. He will do well to land clean punches on Bundu. What I would say is that I'm not sure Thurman's technical and mental ability has developed at the same rate as his power! He still looks crude to me.
We need to see him fight someone at the top level before I start hyping him too much. a year ago this thread could have been mad about Shawn Porter who was looking like Mike tyson after the Paulie Mag fight Let's all calm down
You're right, some idiots would be saying that. Some idiots even said Bradley hurt him in the rematch. Bradley landed flush but not once did I see Pac stunned.
Says alot about Pac's chin that he was KTFO and put into a coma by a guy PBF shut out. Not only that he was knocked out two previous times as well.:rofl
Bradley rocked Pac in the rematch just as bad if not worse than Maidana caught PBF with. But I guess you didn't see that? I never once made a thread about it either like Pac****s do about that punch from Maidana.
IT WAS A BALANCE ISSUE PAC WAS ALREADY JUMPING WHEN HE GOT CAUGHT :blurp:hi: PAC HAS A PROVEN IRON CHIN LIKE DURAN HE HAS BEEN COUGHT 1000 TIMES BY FLUSH HARD SHOTS FLOYD ONLY TOOK 4 BIG FLUSH SHOTS IN HIS CAREER AND DID NOT DEAL WITH IT GOOD :hi:
PAC only stopped to the head once out of 65 fights bearing in mind he is not a defencive fighter he has taken 1000 flush shots by bigger guys Floyd does not get caught enough:blurp
That's irrelevant. Defense is part of the sport just like stamina. If he hadn't gone in face first like an amateur against JMM he might not have been put into that coma.
Watched some Thurman HL. They guy hits very hard. But sometimes he seems to hold back a little at the end. He still stops or knocks out his opponents but it kind of looks like he would be able to hurt them even more if he would keep landing solid to the end. Of course that means there is even more potential to in him.
What's insane is arguing with a man about his opinion like you gonna change it. I know what I saw and ain't nothing you can tell me. The only thing we can do is agree to disagree.
When did I ever say you made a thread about it ? I don't remember saying that to you . Theres no comparision between Maidana rocking Floyd and Bradley rocking Manny . Why ? Because Floyd came out the very next rnd cautious , and not engaging , Basically you can see in his body language he still had not yet recovered from that blow . You can see that he was clearly still hurt and he was not even trying to win the rnd because he was trying to buy time to continue to recover . He was also retreating from Chino . Bradley caught Manny with that haymaker and exactly 10 seconds after getting caught , Manny was already fighting back . Nothing in his body language told me he was hurt . Manny didn't retreat , didn't hold on , wasn't using any footwork to get away from his opponent unlike Floyd did . If you observed closely in both fights , you can clearly see who was the more staggered fighter and it was Floyd .
I'd say he hits harder than Cotto. I'd say he hits just as hard as Maidana, only with a much better delivery system, e.g. Speed and Technique
