I had it 6-6 right down the middle.

And with two judges having 115-113 for either fighter, they saw the same damn close fight I saw...

 

[Koltrain]

Thurman deserved the w, even though he was running and damn near gave the fight away. Danny just didn't do enough..

 

[BigBallsNoWorries]

Nah, Thurman pulled away with the W

It wasn't a dominant W, but a W nonetheless

He should have avoided the strategy of moving as much as he did in the later rounds, cause that left a bad taste in the fans mouths, but then again this is boxing and the casual fans don't know shit about movement

Though, Thurman is a beast in his own right, I still feel that he has some noticeable chinks in his armor, that will be exposed by the right fighter

A big flaw is in his body, Thurman dislikes body shots with a passion. If he get in there with a dude that has a chin, and will put relentless pressure to the body, then he will have a big problem

That's why I say Spence takes Thurmans cookies

 

[Mastery]

You're assuming Spence has a chin lol

 

[Negro_Caesar]

lol Who has Spence fought again ?

 

[Mastery]

lol Who has Spence fought again ?

Spence is nice, no doubt, but the biggest name on his resume is either Chris Algieri or Leonard Bundu haha. He has a legit fight on his hands with Brook and when the fight gets closer, I'll be dropping $$$ for whoever want it haha

Speaking of Spence, he said he will stop Thurman if they fight.

Thurman needs to change his nickname

 

[Arya Tsaddiq]

Thurman needs to change his nickname

When was his last knockout? Lol

Bruh hits hard tho. He had Danny shook early in the fight for real. You could tell hos confidence was gone. But Thurman actually showed he has good defense too. Danny didnt land many clean power shots.

 

[Guy Gardner]

Boxing steers CBS to a primetime win on Saturday

Until Premier Boxing Champions began signing network TV deals a few years ago, boxing had been restricted to HBO, Showtime and occasionally ESPN. PBC has had primetime boxing cards on NBC and most recently CBS. Its Saturday primetime card on CBS scored for the network and beat the other broadcast fare including ABC’s NBA presentation of the LA Clippers at Chicago.

The overnight raging for the world welterweight unification title bout between Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia which resulted in a split decision for Thurman, registered a 2.2 on CBS.

ABC trailed not just in the overall number, but also in the all-important 18-49 demographic and viewership.

This marked the second primetime Premier Boxing Champions presentation on CBS, the previous one aired in June of last year. That card averaged an 1.8 rating. Both PBC cards were produced by CBS’ cable partner Showtime.

For years, the broadcast networks didn’t touch boxing and let the pay cable networks produce and promote fights. It had been a regular staple on broadcast TV from the 1950’s into the 1980’s, but as HBO and Showtime gained subscribers and prominence, the two cable networks basically took over in televising fights.

But now fans will point to CBS’ numbers stating that if there’s an attractive fight, boxing can attract an audience on broadcast television. And if PBC can put together good cards and compelling matchups, the numbers could remain consistent.

Premier Boxing Champions has contracts with three of the four broadcast networks, CBS, Fox/FS1 and NBC/NBCSN, and has deals with Bounce TV, ESPN and Spike and has plans for an extensive schedule in 2017.

There's movement and then there's running. Thurman totally disengaged and stop trying to score late in the fight. He's fortunate the judges got it right.

Mayweather Sr: If You Look at Khan Too Long - He Will Fall Down!

By Edward Chaykovsky

Veteran trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. is siding with Manny Pacquiao to defeat his former sparring partner Amir Khan.

The ex-training mates announced two weeks ago that a deal was reached to fight each other in the coming months. Their teams are now in the process of finalizing a date and location. Initially it was announced for April 23, but they needed more time to properly promote the fight and pushed everything back to late May - but even that date is possibly getting pushed back.

Most fans would like to see Pacquiao defend his belt against Terence Crawford, who currently holds the WBC, WBO junior welterweight world titles.

The father and trainer of retired former five division champion Floyd Mayweather Jr., believes Pacquiao made the right decision in selecting a fight with Khan over Crawford.

Mayweather Sr. is a big fan of Crawford and he doesn't believe that Pacquiao is physically capable of beating him at this point.

"I’m not saying that Pacquiao’s done but I don’t think he can beat Terence Crawford. I think he may beat Amir Khan though. It depends on what Amir Khan is right now, everybody is getting old up there. I don’t really even know that much about Terence Crawford, only little things that I’ve seen, that’s all. He looks to be a very good fighter to me. I looked at Terence Crawford and I think he does a lot of things in there and I think he’s kind patented himself after Floyd a little bit," Mayweather Sr. told On The Ropes Boxing Radio.

Mayweather Sr. expects Khan's chin to be a big factor in the fight with Pacquiao. If Pacquiao lands flush, Mayweather Sr. predicts a knockout. Khan (31-4, 19 KOs) has been stopped three times in his career and went down several times throughout his career.

"Amir Khan has a glass jaw, if you look at him too long, he’s going to fall down. We’ll see, but if Pacquiao hits Amir Khan good, Amir Khan is gone," Mayweather Sr. said.
