Keith ThurmanSo far the biggest accomplishment I give myself is getting the silver in the Olympic Trials. Even though it's kind of a defeat. Not too many people make it that far. I do see it as an accomplishment and one of my greatest.
Keith ThurmanWhen it comes to boxing I find a way to clear my mind. When it comes to boxing you have to fight. Clear your mind and fight. You can't really think of outside things when you're in the ring.
Keith ThurmanWhat I try to do is find a weakness in my opponent. A way that I can hit you. One good, clean shot. Try to time it.

If they're there, I'm not gonna resist to take them.
