He's also open to get countered every time he jabs. He tries to do the jab-hug, to cover up his retraction point, however if you circle to the left and check hook he'll be in trouble all day ala brook.
I'll probably be linking up with you soon to join the club.Mikey G on TMTno fukkin way!
I can't be the only Mikey stan here
I agree but.........I don't think Thurman has stayed sharp during this extensive lay off. Porter is a good boxer with + intangibles. Good stamina, endurance, finds a way to win etc. Thurmans never really been in a hard fight and with all his ring rust I think it's gonna end up fukking him. Porter should be focusing exclusively on the area Collazo hit Keith with the shotgun blast.
Thurman never really been in a hard fight.
I guess the Chaves bout was just a walk in the park then.
Only fight he has ever fought with an opponent truly above MW was Fonfara and he got.
In the past I have dug into his KO% at MW and it wasn't that good. He was a bully who used his size as an advantage. We need to see him against guys who are his own size to really judge anything about him. Rosado and Angulo are borderline MW's, more like tween JMW-MW's. I can't take any of his fights seriously until he fights a guy at 168 who has a history of fighting at 168.
Not saying he faked an injury, just interesting how the second (maybe hardest) fight of his career vs. Jack gets cancelled and then he schedules a shot fighter from 1.5 weight divisions below him.
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr should be facing either: Martin Murray, Lucian Bute, Fedor Chudinov, Felix Sturm, Callum Smith, Andre Dirrell, or Arthur Abraham next....not bringing up to Super Middleweight a pair of blown up Middleweights who aren't even ranked in the Top 15 at Middleweight
Ok breh...1 year inactivity plus 2 injuries = you must fight a "top 15" in your weight class on return
Don't ever flip flop on that
He's not fighting a Top 15 at his weight...his weight is Super Middleweight. He's attempting to face 2 guys who aren't ranked in the Top 15 of the division BENEATH his where they normally fight
Where did I say otherwise??
Im not the one over here making up rules on the fly that you MUST fight a top 15 fighter at your weight upon return from a yr inactivity AND 2 injuries
I live in real life where nikkas who are inactive N injured get babied
You know like fighting Paul Smith who was on a 2 L streak N dragging him up in weight...im sure its ok tho cuz Paul Smith was "Top 15" somewhere
for larger fighters you stan dragging up unranked fighters from the division beneath them, to new weight classes, in order to try and secure a W
