He told everyone I'd be world champ, and here I am, defending my title against Shawn Porter. I am just starting to see what Ben Getty saw in me and the mark that I can make in boxing." Thurman isn't the only one celebrating a boxing anniversary - his trainer of 13 years and Florida Hall of Fame elected boxing trainer Dan Birmingham, who trained former champion Winky Wright, has been in the sport for 50 years, and assistant trainer Chris Getty has grown up with Thurman in the sport through his father Ben Getty.

  • Robert Guerrero: Fighting for More Than the Prize
    Fighters Predictions of Marquez – Katsidis Ahead of this weekend’s Marquez-Katsidis fight, we asked 10 fighters who reside at or near Lightweight what there thoughts & predictions are. John Murray – Lightweight Contender. WBC 3, WBO 9 & The Ring 6. I think Marquez will win it, I think he’s a bit to cute, a bit too clever for Katsidis. Ricky Burns – WBO Super Featherweight Champion I think it’s a cracking fight, I’m sure it’s going to be a total war. Actually when Katsidis boxed here last time against Kevin Mitchell I was on the undercard. With Katsidis what you see is what you get, all action he’ll come forward. I think Katsidis is going to win this one. I don’t see him stopping Marquez; he’s been in with the best so again I see Katsidis winning on points. Robert Guerrero – Two weight world champion, WBA 2, IBF 6 & WBO 1. I’m picking Marquez in a unanimous decision. I think he’ll out box him. Roman Martinez – Former Super Featherweight champion. Given Marquez experience and counterpunching abilities I think Juan Manuel must win by knockout. Katsidis will put up a fight but it’s going to be difficult for him to try to box or fight against Marquez; he’s really good. Juan Diaz – Former WBA/IBF & WBO Lightweight Champion who fought both Marquez (Losing twice KO8 & PTS12) & Katsidis (Winning PTS12) I believe that Marquez is gonna take a victory with a decision but saying that it wouldn’t surprise me if Katsidis stops Marquez because I think if it goes to a decision Marquez is going to take it but at the same time I saw Marquez slowing down a bit in our last encounter and knowing Katsidis and knowing what a power puncher he is Marquez is going to that risk of getting beat by Katsidis.
