Thurman better come without injuries and without struggling to make weight. The activity and loss to Tank will have prepared Barrios for this battle. I see a splt decision in favour of Barrios but the fight actually being far more one sided.
Bet on a Barrios win as Thurman has too many things against him at this point - inactivity and weight struggles being two.

I like Barrios, he's a good dude. But if I'm honest, I don't think it matters what weight he fights at. I think he's a good fighter, but just good. I don't see him giving problems to the top 5 or 6 in either division. Maybe even the top 10. So he may as well complete at the weight he's most comfortable at.

Stfu Barrios. You werent barkin none of this crap when u fought Davis. Still hope u beat Keef tho. Hes long in the toof

Barrios is gonna get his cap peeled because he must be counting on Keith to be all injured up and not what he used to be, based on how he hasn't had many knockouts lately and hasn't fought much. But Keith Thurman is an elite fighter who fought real guys, so all he needs to be for this guy is about 60 or 70 of himself, and Barrios gets hurt real bad. I think Thurman is rested and will be much like his old self minus a lil bit. But even with a little less, he clips Barrios. Not that Barrios is bad. He's not. But he's a little dude, maybe tall, but long thin torso, small in the neck. And he's been ko'd byTank, an even smaller guy. So respectfully, what can he do with Keith? When u decide to try a new weight class for the 1st time, u don't try to do it with an experienced battle tested veteran like Thurman, a guy who can turn ur lights the f...K out if he catches right. Ballsy but not too smart

Not with the guys he is being carefully matched up with. Against legit competition is a different story. He doesn't have to worry about that because Floyd has intention of putting him in there with top LWs or Jr. WWs.

Time will tell! I'm not real happy with 135! The story is getting old! I hope we get Haney vs. Kambosos for a true undisputed champion, and then go from there!

Barrios wins late with old Keef quitin on the stool.

If Barrios can withstand the power of Thurman, I wouldn't be shocked at him pulling out a decision. Keith is saying all the right things but I feel like he had no desire to dig down and go to the dark place to win a fight anymore.
