    It's called PRIZEFIGHTING. Collazo would make more money washing dishes at Olive garden than fighting that undercard fighter.

    He's not ducking him. Keith is no Ricky Hatton.:deal

    Lots of potential. But still unproven

    I like him, very exciting fighter but WW is a strong division, so there's still a lot to prove.

    I like him. Can see him doing really well. Don't really see any massive flaws in his game. He moves well, hits well and is pretty decent defensively.

    This.

    People saying he's amazing and a tougher opponent than more proven fighters are overrating the couple notable victories Thurman has (and nobody appreciates Jan Zaveck like I do...). The Karass stoppage was impressive.

    The moment in the fight I was most impressed with was in the first where he took the big shot he was able to be slick and bob&weave his way out of it. Morons saying he was on ***** street seriously dont know **** all about boxing....You arent "about to get knocked the **** out" and have the mind set to stay slick.

    While I agree with you in this case...

    I don't know about that being a rule.

    Bradley was quite clearly "about to get knocked the **** out" and he was able to (try to) stay slick and throw back against Provodnikov. Same with with Khan and Garcia, except Khan couldn't survive the Garcia onslaught whereas Bradley did.... I don't think Karass ever followed up or Thurman was ever hurt enough to feel it really qualifies as any sort of warning of punch resistance.

    Man please Collazo ain't ****...he has no fans, brings no money and isn't a household name, he won't get a Mayweather or Pacquiao fight, he brings no title, money, name big wins nor is he a notable name...

    Keith is the young hot fighter, they both bring nothing to the the table in terms of fan base or money but Keith would generate more interest fighting than would Luis...

    Keith an Undercard fighter true but Collazo is str8 ESPN type fighter...like I said he's ducking one time...

    Good young champion. He seems to be improving with every fight. He's still a little raw but you can see the kids transformation fight by fight. The power is real...he isn't afraid to use it and let those hands go. But he has a lot of defensive liabilities and while he has good speed....it's not great. He will be tough for a lot of fighters at Jr. Welterweight but he is beatable.

    I heard one time Keith punched a Florida Gator and made luggage and a belt.
