Official Hopkins-Cloud, Zaveck-Thurman RbB & Discussion Thread

[Hougigo]

Yea Thurman seems like he can be a lil better then Collazo(with a lot of hard work),but that's a tall order because Collazo was a very(very)fundamentally sound fighter..He's gonna need this win tonight to prove it to me..

I don't think Zaveck is as boxing talented then Thurman,but Zaveck is a fighter..I think his best bet is to push Thurman's conditioning,lay in close(don't let Thurman breath)**** body head..Make it a nasty in the trenches kind fest for real..That's Zaveck best shot..IMO anyway..

One things for sure tho,if Zaveck fights like that..We're going to be in for a mutha ****en fight..

I agree with that. Shoot, he would've beat Berto if he wasn't headbutted

Can someone tell me how long until the Bhop-Cloud fight? And the Zaveck-Thurman fight?

Give a UK brother who's not sure if he should stay up a hand

90 more min until the HBO show starts

i think with Collazo, you have an example of an excellent fighter who the industry wasn't kind to. seemed like he struggled to keep his spirits up and just drifted off. kind of sad, really. we didn't see enough of him.

if nothing else, Thurman's punching power should open doors for him. he has that perception around him that he's an exciting fighter, which Collazo lacked, so the business will grant him more of a fair shake. he has to make the most of the opportunities, but he'll get them and stand a better chance of being favoured in situations that a guy like Collazo wouldn't be.

Excellent post..

Collazo,always rooted for him(except when he fought Mosley),but your right..Things just never broke right for the guy,and right now he'd be a very dangerous WW..

i'd guess you have about three hours 'til the main event, bud.

I kinda agree..I mean I don't wanna take anything from Berto(he won fair and square)..I think Zaveck was surprised by Berto's speed..But once he found his timing,he started to catch Berto late in that fight..That head butt was right on time for Berto imo..

Stay up i think. Want to see if Zaveck can pull the upset, i liked what i saw from him against Berto

[DoubleMM]
