MOST fighters would have taken a knee, that was the most perfectly timed liver shot that anyone could ask for and Thurman bid his time,
created distance, and survived it. I believe Thurman will go on to have a Cotto like Career, never being the #1 but always #3 making several
14million plus paydays. He's going to have a career very similar to Miguel Cotto being an alltime great. Regardless of what everyone thinks
I can tell you right now that Porter, Broner, Khan, Brook, will all avoid a fight with Thurman. Regardless of who you think will win they don't
want any part of Thurman! The only 147lber that I can think of that would take a chance is Tim Bradley. For Thurman to survive that type of
liver shot says a lot about the kid! Broner, Ortiz, Judah, Khan would have all folded losing their fighting spirit and he toughed it out. The only
thing Thurman needs improvement on is his defence so that he doesn't have to back pedal as much, being able to evade punches while staying in
the pocket firing his own like a James Toney, Hopkins, Ward, or Mayweather. Thurman would be outright scary developing a shoulder roll, that
mongoose style.
