I had it 9-3 Thurman. Thurman didn't look as sharp as usual but I'm sure that due to the layoff. Still he boxed very well and showed he is the cream of the division. I do not know why people are being do critical of Keith.
Floyd looked good coming off a 2 year layoff against Marquez
SRL looked good coming off a 3 year layoff against Hagler
Thurman did not look good coming off a 2 year layoff
lol not a fair comparison, those are ATG and possibly top 10-15 fighters of all time.
He clearly didn't look at his fittest or sharpest, but once again showed us he has the heart of a champion. He just needs to stay active and sharp man, that was a warning sign. He's still in his prime, he needs another tune-up then Pacman at the end of the year.
With that being said, you know how reactionary and irrational boxing fans are. Thurman is now a bum and been exposed. Again. Even though he's still fought the best competition and is unbeaten.
He looked good in parts, especially early on. Lopez isn't that good, but he's certainly a solid opponent for a fighter that hasn't been in the ring for two years and coming off surgeries and rehabilitation.
I think it's unfair to be too critical when you put it into perspective.
People said Fury was done after his first 2 fights back against low level fighters, but now he's looking very good again.
Like he was supposed to? You act as if he wasn't a 18-1 favorite,and the guy he was going up against hadn't been iced 4 times before. I guess the #1 in the division deserves a round of applause for going 12 with the josesito "the monster" Lopez.
Your bigotry is starting to show
And he still WON.

Did you miss the part were he almost got stopped by a C-level fighter? And it wasn't just a freak occurance. He continued getting tagged with big shots for the rest of the fight,and was wobbled on at least another occasion. One time turned into run time,and he became more of a hugger than a boxer. God knows where his amazing power went,because Lopez was literally walking through his punches. Say what you guys want,but this was supposed to be Keith's announcement that the #1 in the division is back,but instead it seems like there's a belt up for grabs.
and run time was staggered in the last round while he was running away by a SHOT fighter
No he didn't. He was supposed to be the best in the division. The man who was calling out Mayweather and Pacquiao when they were on top. You don't get to look that bad when you're supposed to be the best.
