Amir Khan On Keith Thurman: I Think He Needs To Change His Name To "Sometimes".

[patscorpio]

He just did against Vargas Ruslan was close but that was effective pressure JMM shyt some part of all of his victories. Yea pat but you're consistently wrong about this shyt brah Never include them 'tangibles

effective pressure against ruslan who fukked him up badly? nah breh lol..jmm wasn't pressure..that was flat out outboxing..timmy was still smarting from that ruslan fight..why would we pressure a dangerous counterpuncher.?..effective pressure was what porter did to devon and broner...had them hesitant and cautious to throw a punch..which is why i would give him a shot at bothering thurman...the only fight at 147 where bradley's pressure was effective was against abregu..also remember who was right and wrong about pac-bradley 2..it wasnt me that was wrong breh

Bradley and Thurman need to actually switch styles. These last couple fights, Bradley has been fighting like Thurman should....and vice versa

Bradley on his toes is much cleaner/effective imo. When he starts allowing himself to be drawn into brawls, that's when his fight starts looking sloppy and he gets caught with stuff he shouldn't.

I don't know why he doesn't just stick to boxing and applying effective pressure in spots...especially with his good body work

Again, example of Bradley fukking himself up by abandoning boxing and attempting to brawl/walk you down/become a pressure fighter? Timothy Bradley vs Manny Pacquiao 2

On his toes he was doing good...but once he started trying to "pressure" Manny, it was over for him on most of our cards and he looked very sloppy

yea man my breh wont fight smart, shyts trafic

 

[mr. smoke weed]

Still don't think Keith can take the swarming version of Tim we saw vs Vargas. Tim just needs to tighten it up a lil bit.

 

[mr. smoke weed]

For real though I'd love to see thurman khan bradley any of those guys mix it up. Wanna see how keith is against opponents a level up.

 

[DrX]

idk, thurman might ko kahn, just because he had some rough spots in his last 2 fights done mean that he didn't fukk his opponents up himself

 

[mr. smoke weed]

At times he pulls straight back instead of going out the side door. And he he relies on his legs too much to get himself out of danger.

Also when he throws his right he doesn't bring it back to proper position (elbow defending the body) hence why Collazo was able to tag him w that joint

 

[mr. smoke weed]

Timothy Bradley doesn't fit the definition of "pressure fighter" imo.

Matter of fact, Provodnikov showed him what a pressure fighter looks like.

Bradley comes forward, but he doesn’t really ever apply effective pressure. He just, for a lack of better words, fights stupid and starts swinging for the fences.

Where was his pressure fighting against Pac? Prov? JMM? Chaves? Vargas?

He's not a pressure fighter, he just gets drawn in to fights which limits his ability to be as effective as he COULD be. If he fought everyone like he did JMM, I would be a huge fan. Instead he ends up brawling, but without enough power to make his opponent feel like it's time to move and stop letting Bradley walk him down.

Example of effective pressure fighting from a non-pressure fighter? Lamont Peterson in the 2nd half of Peterson/Garcia.

Sir when Bradley's on his A game he's mixing between swarming and boxing. He was applying effective pressure when he blanked Pederson years ago.

Yea that Timmy on his toes against JMM was something to behold

 

[mr. smoke weed]

exactly my point. he is not a technician someone need to sit him down and give it to him straight. his best attribute is his power so he should have a style that compliments that

Floyd backs out in a straight line sometimes does that not make him a technician? Keith's best attribute is that he can work behind the jab to set up his shots. His power ain't p4p.

shyt was beautiful. Only performance that was better that year was Floyd schooling Canelo.

That was at 140 though. He can't fight like that at Welterweight.

He should fight like that all the time imo. He could've easily outboxed Ruslan, Chaves, and Vargas

Yup. Mr. Gimme That Zero needs to holla @Yuzo about his punching technique and slip space

 

[comfortablynumbd]

thurman vs khan would be good after khan fights mayweather

Bradley probably ain't even know he was in a boxing ring after round 1 bruh. If bradley had Thurman's power Timothy would be the goat right now

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Khan is getting more known for his snappy one liners than his actual boxing.

He ran from Algieri way more than Thurman ran from Collazo.

It's too bad all the tough shyt coming outta his mouth can't get transported to his chin :irvin:
