This is going to be a really interesting fight to see how the 23-year-old Thurman does against the southpaw Quintana because this is such a huge step up in class for Thurman. Quintana can do a lot things and he’s arguably a lot more skilled than Thurman. However, we’ve seen fights where Quintana has struggled against big punchers in losses to Andre Berto and Miguel Cotto. We’ve also seen Quintana taken out in one round by Paul Williams, who never was a huge puncher.

Fury had been hoping to get a fight against former WBA heavyweight champion Ruslan Chagaev, but that’s not likely to happen.

Getting Chagaev in the ring might too big difficult for Fury and his promoter because of his high asking price. It’s too bad because Chagaev might be able to give Fury lots of problems with his southpaw stance and excellent power. I could see Chagaev winning this fight if it were to be made.

And like before, the 23-year-old Thurman still has the following fighters on his hit list: Paulie Malignaggi, Tim Bradley and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Thurman, 5’11”, wants to get Malignaggi, the WBA World welterweight champion, next after Thurman fights in November.

However, with Thurman not even ranked in then top 15 in the welterweight division he needs to save his breath none of those guys are going to voluntarily fight a huge welterweight without a ranking. Thurman needs to get ranked and prove that he can beat a quality fighter rather than just the weak 2nd tier welterweights he’s been facing.
