“To be honest that slap Hook was pretty nice too.”
“Sometimes, a good Sportsmen-like conduct is all we need,” Thurman Seonds Out, reflecting on the recent altercation between Charlo and Caleb Plant. However, he remained impartial and focused on the specifics of the situation rather than assigning blame. He shared:
“I don’t know what happened before that man…we know what [Caleb Plant’s] been doing…with what he did with Canelo…Plant is the new Bernard Hopkins.”
By comparing Plant to Hopkins, Thurman acknowledges Plant’s desire for pre-fight shenanigans, a trait Bernard Hopkins was known for during his career. Thurman’s reference to Plant’s behavior indicates that he sees a recurring pattern.
A Look Back at The Canelo vs. Plant Fight
Thurman showed his deep understanding of the sport while discussing the Canelo vs. Plant fight. He admired Plant’s technique, calling it “textbook, 100% amazing boxing IQ.” Still, he noted that conditioning was a determining factor.
“I was wondering why it wasn’t coming, and then the later rounds, when I saw the fatigue really set in, I didn’t really see it right away…that beautiful boxing that we saw in the first five rounds was never gonna show itself again.”
“Plant survived he didn’t get stopped he still was able to hold himself together and get through the fight but if he could just have his conditioning a little bit more embedded I mean he he is pretty sweet man okay the plant is pretty sweet.”
On Future Fights
Thurman also addressed potential future bouts and his desire to participate in significant matches.
“I’m the new can man,” he declared. “Everybody can get it…I’m only gonna see one real contract…whatever I gotta do to feed my family, to get back in action, to get this ball back rolling…I fought last year in February, how come Thurman didn’t fight again last year?”
This quote shows Thurman’s eagerness to return to the ring and face tough competitors. He acknowledged his previous fights, but his focus remains on the future, where he intends to make his mark once more.
