You honestly think Thurman has more power and pop.than the guys Fundora has already fought? Thurman isn't knocking him out. I'm taking Fundora by TKO. Thurman will do well but when Fundora starts to pour it on he will go into survival mode and the accumulation will be too much.
i honestly do think this as well...keith is a dawg but prime keith hasn't been seen since 2015...and im not sure at 36-37 he can keep up the lateral movement he's known for against a pressure volume fighter for 12 rounds......jarvis was a big can..that was more of an indicator of keith's current ability to me....because if he went the distance with him like he did barrios, i would have said he needed to hang it up...with that being said i still can see fundora getting cracked again at some point so keith has somewhat of a puncher's chance

It would be hilarious if Boot's team was the one that "leaked" the news of a fight with Vergil Ortiz in January/February just so fans can get off their back and be ok with this fight with Lima :dead: . Some people are saying Vergil Ortiz's camp never confirmed a fight with Boots at all
Virgils manager says he doesnt know anything about it so could be cap or could be Matchroom and GBP making future plans

Thurman hadn't knocked anyone out since 2013 up until his fight against Jarvis.:francis:
There's more nuance to your statement than just putting that out there & everyone that dapped it knows this too lol. His injuries contributed to that along with some his comp to touch a little on that but let's not go there yet

It's not like Fundora has a titanium chin & is hard to hit lol. Thurman will have MANY opportunities to drop CLEAN bombs on his chin. You saw both Timmy fights & he had his opportunities but couldn't do anything. Mendoza had his & slept him. What makes you think Thurman can't land that kind of heat consistently lol?

Yes I do, look at my response to Freedmind

Thurman has more pop than Tsyzu & probably is on par if not has more than Mendoza. Thurman fought at 152 during the ammy's & has either hurt or dropped everyone he's been in the ring with. Dude's a puncher

Damn a lot of people taking Thurman for granted..way more skilled.. definitely will have a sound game plan and he make adjustments. Everyone expecting him to fall off at 36...I wouldn't count on his age being the factor.

Tim was getting in Fundoras ass before the cut, and after that he was mentally broken (look at how he quit the last fight even how he started having success).

Fundora fights like an idiot to cater to the warrior culture, which leaves something for Thurman to exploit, so the issue is will Father Time show its head lol.

This is pretty much the pre-fight evaluation of every Fundora bout :dead:
It's true and yet hasn't mattered 95% of the time. Thurman ain't really demonstrate the type of 1 punch power against top level opps for it to be his gameplan. He better be on his bike in this fight

Even though he fought Jarvis who's a jobber lol, Thurman showed the power combo punching is still there. And I think he hits just as hard if not harder than Mendoza but in is his previous fights, he's taken his foot off the gas for whatever reason. I have no doubt at some point, he'll hurt Fundora. Whether he wins or not is another story

I guess we'll have to wait & see
