:khanhuh:


I like Mikey but imo he is over his head with this one. Thurman is a big welter, who is a good fighter too and has tons of confidence now. No matter how technical of a lightweight Mikey is he wouldn't beat Thurman.

Also I think textbook skills tend to be overrated a little by many. Thurman fights a little awkward he doesn't fight like your everyday walking boxing textbook but I think that's not only a disadvantage but at least that big of an advantage. Opponents can't get properly ready to him and they have to figure him out in the ring. All that while Thurman also has more game plans and more ways he fights.
Not textbook fighters sometimes get shytted on by fighters who fetishize the textbook, amateur style but I think they shouldn't be cause they bring more excitement, diversity in the sport and as I said being unorthodox is at least that big of an advantage than it's a disadvantage.
Thurman has some wide punches, pause. But some critics seem to stuck there without realizing what he's doing well at the same time.

Russell needed to take a knee, probably would have still got stepped eventually tho, Derevyanchenko turned it up those last 2 rounds
Yeah idk what the fukk dude was thinking. He didn't take a knee and he didn't try to clinch, nothing.
I guess he would have lost anyways, but he could make it longer.

All that would actually mean something if Canelo could cut off the ring himself :stopitslime:

He's jus as bad/good at cutting off the ring as errybody else... Difference is HBO N GBP have kept his ass Far Far Far away from anybody with any semblance of being a Boxer/mover :russ:



As far as the Cotto fight...Prime Canelo, huge size difference, :flabbynsick: cotto


My fault for thinking the almighty canelo would handle that better then Austin fukking Trout :heh:


shyt was like watching prime Barry Bonds...we expecting a 534 ft Home Run...instead getting an infield single N y'all talking bout

"did you see bonds hustle:gladbron:"
"He ran right out of the box :ohlawd:"

"He plays the game the right way :krs:"
Real talk...David Lemieux throwing a textbook left hook that induced sleep to Curtis Stevens >>>> highlights of Canelo slowly imitating a 1980's prime Mike Tyson pad routine

:hhh: these last few posts nikkas in here sounding like casuals.

We :ohlawd: over the fundamentals and shyt because they allow you to do the pretty shyt later on and they will ALWAYS matter.

If some of your favorite fighters had these fundamentals they would know how to cut off a ring, or not get sonned by a jab, or have a fukk ton of handspeed and not be able to do shyt with it.

But yeah shyt on the fundamentals :hhh:
We really just need that Canelo Triple G to happen
