from PUNSH DRUNK BOXING · host Punsh Drunk Boxing
Keith Thurman the Former unified Welterweight Champion bust into the scene with a fire and excitement which was needed in the sport of boxing. The klitchko, Mayweather Era was an accomplished one, but lack the true Entertainment Performance value. Keith Thurman just didn't provide Action in the ring by recording k.o after k.o but also This young phenom had a gift of gab. Thurman could sell a fight with his mouth and fist. Thurman truly defined the eye of the tiger. He wanted it all and almost earned it all. But injuries after injuries stalled the progression and during that time the worse thing that could happen to any fighter happened. In the words of Micky (rocky movie). Thurman became civilized. Married his lovely wife, weight issues etc. The fire cooled off, the boiling water stopped boiling. His killer instinct was extinct. Recently lost to Manny Pacquiao a fight which Thurman needed to win not only for him but to close a chapter of an era. Thurman Failed, but Maybe just maybe That loss needed to happen to bring back that hunger and fire That we all miss from a potential HOF. Is the "Don't duck me son" Thurman has risen from the dead and ready to takeover?
