WBA 'regular' welterweight champion Keith 'One Time' Thurman (24-0, 21KOs) is not happy with his last performance, a lackluster twelve round unanimous decision win over Olympian Leonard Bundu last December at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
On March 7th, Thurman returns to the same Las Vegas venue to face Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero (32-2-1, 18KOs). Their fight headlines the very first showing of Al Haymon's 'Premier Boxing Champions' series on NBC.
He wants to redeem himself by doing what he does best - knocking opponents out. Thurman is focused on outperforming Floyd Mayweather Jr., who dominated Guerrero over twelve rounds in 2013.
"I definitely want to beat Guerrero in a more impressive fashion than Floyd Mayweather. But in reality, I’m ready to put on a good fight. I know Guerrero is coming to fight, I want to fight this fight. I’m gonna box smart like always but I’m looking to hurt this dude. Hopefully you guys see the original ‘One Time’ and why my nickname really is ‘One Time.’ We’re going in this time to represent the name," Thurman told On The Ropes Boxing Radio .
