like I've been telling you guys on here for years, Keith Run Time Thurman is going to get stopped by Errool Spence JR and rather easily.
Keith Run Time is elite at a couple things. Mainly his footspeed and reflexes.
He does not have good defense. He does not fight on the inside.At all.
His defense is the run time, use his footspeed and pepper his opponent then back to run time.
Errol SPence JR is the exact opponent run time does not want. A fighter that will close the distance on him with his feet and jab (ERROL HAS A GREAT JAB) and work the body.
Even when Run TIme was hurt he didn't knmow what to do. He kept getting hit in the face and his mind was like just do the run time and run.
He's a pathetic KO waiting to get happen
He looked sharp. Just looked like a guy who hasn't fought in a while, those punches hurt more when you haven't been taking too many of them for a very long time.
Credit to Josesito for a good fight, I gave him 4 rounds. Thurman himself knew Lopez was coming to fight, he's been saying it for a few days now "I see something in his eyes." Word on the block is he looked great in training for this fight too, this was probably one of the best versions of Josesito Lopez ever.
Can't say Thurman isn't the good off of this performance, he proved he is an elite welterweight by edging out and absorbing Porter's punches and narrowly but convincingly overcoming both Porter and Garcia.
Just so happens that Thurman won't be able to hang with the best welterweight in the world Errol Spence Jr. But I have Spence beating every single welterweight, he's the clear #1 in my eyes.
He needs another fight before he takes on Porter. He will probably go right after his wbc title but this version of Thurman needs some work if he's going to get back to his best days.
He was going straight back and getting caught repeatedly. He also wasn't as committed to exchanges until he got hurt and had no choice.
Hopefully it's just 22 months of civilian life out of the ring. I like Keith Thurman. He makes good fights. But I don't want to see him get hurt. He's definitely got to make some adjustments to stay at the top level. He definitely needs 3 fights minimum this year.

I've never seen Thurman look lost in a fight like that. But the real question is how did Lopez grow a granite chin and become a Terminator on a seek and destroy mission. Thurman looked like he hadn't been hit with a real punch in 2 years. He couldn't handle those punches to the Head or body at all. He didn't look Rusty, he looked like a guy that just wasnt hardened enough in his training to go to war.
Now he definitely won't fight another champion for a while. He would have loss to any of the top 3 or 4 other to welterweights tonight.
because he kills himself to make 147. theres a reason he hasn't moved to 154 because he'd get dawged.
keith is a fron runner who slows down in the second half of fights.

I think Spence is the better fighter but that was only 75% of the best Thurman he will improve a lot from this come back fight.
True but I've been saying this for years.
Spence gives him a life altering beatdown
