I'm excited to see Keith back in the ring. Hopefully, he can regain the form he had years ago before all the injuries took their toll. We'll know a lot more once he fights Barrios. He definitely didn't look great against Josesito Lopez after his last long layoff. But, except for round 7, he dominated him. And while he was hurt that round, he didn't go down and came back strong at the end of the round. What bothered me most back then about his performance was his punching power didn't seem to be there.
His fight against PacMan was a mixed bag. Great fight. Got hurt to the body late. He was winning the first round, then made the mistake of pulling straight back and got knocked down. More off balance than hurt. Had that not happened, the fight would have been a Majority Draw. But, once again, he had an injury. Seems to happen a lot with hard punchers (GGG being the exception).
As I've posted before, love him or hate him (most seem to be haters), Keith's fights are exciting. Why wouldn't you tune in to watch? Much like people's Floyd hate they tuned in hoping he would lose. But with Keith, haters are more likely to get their wish given his injuries and layoffs. So tune in, haters!
As a fan of Thurman, I hope he's got another run left in him. Time will tell.
Lastly, I will say that I do HATE it when people talk about themselves in the 3rd person, Keith included. All respect to user Nash Out though, because he seems to be doing it in jest.
