Virgils manager says he doesnt know anything about it so could be cap or could be Matchroom and GBP making future plans

Weren't we calling this shyt awhile back? They do slick shyt and make these weird affirmations and claims. Then the other side is like "When was this supposed to happen? "

If y'all think kieth actually fighting a top fighter than bless yall heart

This is pretty much the pre-fight evaluation of every Fundora bout
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

I agree with this. The gameplan with everyone is that Fundora is so hittable. The thing with Fundora is that you have to have the punching power AND the stamina to keep on the pressure and eventually beat him

Erickson Lubin was probably the best with that game plan, touched Fundora up like crazy and punched with Fundora, and still lost

What Thurman has on his side is he does have the punching power and hand speed to hang with Fundora. But does he have the stamina with his age and inactivity though

everyone is on Boots ass, the YSM video I posted comment section is flaming his ass. I dont expect much from Lima lol but would be wild if dude is some spoiler they over look and he gets boots ass out of there at home in Philly. shyt would break Boxing Social media.

I know Eddie is Boots promoter but who the fukk is his Manager? With Boots being born in the gym he gotta be just a nikka that doesn't know shyt about business and the likes cause he already seems gives off "yeah I dont care about none of that business shyt", and Boozy doesn't know shyt about business either. So the unknown is if Boots and team are Cap Masters or these nikkas literally so clueless about the business they can't read the room. Time will tell what happens with Hitchins but I dont see this pattern with anyone else, and Boots was never a PBC fighter and when Showtime went under, instead of formally signing with PBC which was had 2 champs at 147 and 154, he signs to Matchroom which has nobody in-house for either with the main thing being "Eddie gonna keep me busy".

Its like nikka you pushing 30 yrs old with 34 fights with around 32 of those fights being meaningless legacy wise.

Fundora went to war with Erikson lubin and won. I highly doubt Keith makes a dent in him. Not even sure why Keith's power is getting so much hype. He went the distance with Josesito Lopez and Marios barrios, and he hit them with everything he had.

Even Tank knocked barrios out in his first fight at 140. Keith has never knocked out any decent fighters. Yea he's hurt a few but he's also been hurt himself plenty of times. Keith also has a tendency to fade late. If fundora gets to his body early it might get brutal for Keith.

idk where the power thing is coming from but Keith is by far the most experienced person and dare I say (if we time travel at least) "dynamic" person Fundora has faced, if Fundora uses his gifts then this should be easy and boring, but if he fights like a nut (like he usually does) and seeks war then it should be interesting or Keith getting washed

going to war with lubin is not really a flex like that considering it took mell less than 3 minutes to highlight reel him..fundora still gets hit way too much for his style of fighting...brian mendoza somehow managed to knock him the fukk out because of that

Gifts or no gifts..Thurman will not be laying down.

Going to war with lubin is more of a flex about fundora's toughness than his power. Keith has never fought anybody with this type of dog in em. Maybe porter but Shawn didn't have the offensive arsenal or size that fundora has. Don't see any other outcome other than Keith getting walked down and beaten up. First half will be competitive. 2nd half it's gonna get ugly. Maybe even a corner stoppage.

But if I'm wrong I'll give Keith his props

Because Thurman either drops or hurts everyone he's been in the ring with. Just because he's not knocking everyone out like he used to doesn't mean he's not throwing bricks lol

Just listen to the actual fighters that have been in the ring with him

Bundu: I Favor Thurman To Beat Spence - He's Faster, Hits Harder

Italian Olympian Leonard Bundu is the only opponent to step in the ring with both Keith Thurman and Errol Spence. In December of 2014, Bundu was dropped in the

www.boxingscene.com

“Although Spence knocked me out and I went twelve rounds with Thurman, I think Thurman is the bigger puncher. Spence is heavy-handed but Thurman has that snap. Clearly Spence can turn your lights out if he lands clean. But I felt shockwaves through my arms whenever I blocked Thurman’s punches. He’s definitely got more snap on his shots," Bundu said.

Thurman definitely has the pop, the extra weight and whatever time off/surgery he had has seemed to return a lot of the power he lost. Jarvis, his last fight, was a can BUT Thurman still knocked him out AT a higher weight. Fundora is Taylor made for Thurman, counter ability, combination punching with power, AND accuracy are all recipes for disaster for Fundora, the only thing he has going for him against Keith is height and reach. Evey other box Keith has checked over him IMO. I can see Keith easily timing Fundora after a minor download, dude with those long arms has a longer delivery time on his punches and he doesn't always send them straight. Keith will Crack him before they get a chance to land on him.

Everyone says that but do not see the unique combination of strength and toughness and stamina that go along with Fundora's height and reach that makes him a nightmare match-up. Keith will be like all the others.

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

I don't see it.

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.

It's not his age. It's his inactivity and lack of elite opponents in the very few fights he's had since his loss in 2019.

THIS. They all say and think this but Sebastian ends up stopping them anyway. He will be on his bike but again Sebastian is so tall and long that he will still be difficult to get away.

idk where the power thing is coming from but Keith is by far the most experienced person and dare I say (if we time travel at least) "dynamic" person Fundora has faced, if Fundora uses his gifts then this should be easy and boring, but if he fights like a nut (like he usually does) and seeks war then it should be interesting or Keith getting washed

If it's a war Keith without a doubt is getting stopped. Bastian lately starts out boxing and using reach and then he goes inside and then after that he gets bored and goes to war. If he gets cracked, Bastian is without a doubt going to war. Bastian looks like a nerd but he's really a bully.

going to war with lubin is not really a flex like that considering it took mell less than 3 minutes to highlight reel him..fundora still gets hit way too much for his style of fighting...brian mendoza somehow managed to knock him the fukk out because of that

I think Bastian has improved a lot since then and I also think Bastian has gotten much stronger. He's a different fighter to me than when he lost to Brian and when he fought Erickson.
