    You think THURMAN will be easy going for ZAVECK? Lol.

    Thurman by RTD or TKO around the 8th or 9th round.

    Isn't Zaveck a tiny Welterweight? whatever...

    I really want to see, what will happen if the fight goes over 8 rounds and Zaveck who really has stamina puts pressure on Thurman??? I am a big fan of Zaveck and i think that Thurmans matchmakers didnt did a good job this time.:tong


    Can anyone tell me if Thurman ever really had to go a all out in a fight???? From what i saw an youtube, his fight were won very easily. And did Thurman ever took a real shot???? How strong is his chin?? But anyway..... We will see really soon.:D

    Based on what?

    I am not suggesting that Thurman cannot win this fight, but the notion that it's somehow a walkover seems a bit far-fetched to me.

    Did I miss the part when Keith morphed into something special?? Neither one of these guys are "elite" in my opinion.

    I love these types of match ups. They are probably my favorite in all of boxing.

    Young hard hitter vs. veteran skill guy. Will the youngster progress or will the vet have too many wrinkles for him?

    Until Thurman really shows me something (like winning this fight) I'm going with the vet by decision.

    Berto was getting in Zaveck's ass before the fight got stopped. Thurman who's better than Berto will beat Jan down.

    jeez.... Thurman dropping back down!
    Great step up for Thurman
    I think Keith is gonna be steamrolling up the Welterweights!

    Bull****.

    Zaveck was giving as good as he was getting in that fight. Thurman hits harder, pound for pound, but he's no where near as fast or as athletically explosive as Berto.

    I suspect that Jan will get in Thurman's grill and make this a phone booth affair.

    Agreed. I don't think any of the beltholders at 147 are gonna be too eager to face Thurman though...
