Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman Busts Up Mario Barrios, Secures Wide Decision Win

[MulaKO]

Keith should try to get back in there as soon as possible. May or June the latest against someone solid, maybe a rematch with Josesito Lopez or a fight against Kavaliauskas or Avanesyan.

Your absolutely right
Maybe then we can see where and what he’s heading for
Oh , hang on , bruised knuckle , even worse in his left one time hand

Show’s over folks , it’ll be another 2 fughin years lol

Hello!!!
It's 'aggressation', not 'aggresivity!!!!

Nah man, the correct word is “aggressolous”. In Barrios’ next fight he needs to be the aggressalator and fight with more aggressocity. With just a little bit more aggressalation I believe he will be a world champion.

Barrios lacks aggressivity, which is never good for a boxer.

No he just sucks and has a horrible trainer

Didn't watch the fight. Read the round-by-round on Badlefthook and saw a couple of clips. Glad my boy Keith got the W and did so pretty easily, apparently. Busted up Barrios. But, didn't put him down, much less out. Maybe it's the ring rust. Maybe the 10oz gloves. Maybe Barrios can take a punch better at 147. Or maybe Keith's "One Time" vaunted power isn't there for him anymore. Heard him say he hurt his left hand again. He's like Mr. Glass. I hope it isn't anything serious. I'll look forward to seeing the fight replay somewhere. He needs to learn from the PacMan experience and fight once more before he goes after a champion, presuming his body can hold up of course.

Barrios is a punching bag. Thurman isn't ready for Crawford or Spence and he may never be. Considering how poor ticket sales were and likely PPV sales I wouldn't be surprised if PBC sacrificed him to build up Davis.

Not really a Thurman fan but this was a perfect comeback fight. Not too soft, not too hard and the guy he's fighting is there to win. A nice wake up call for Thurman that from here on in all the fighters will be trying to take his head off. He won 9 out of the 12 rounds but Barrios was a live dog the whole time. I think Thurman can beat Crawford. Struggle and lose against Spence and Ugas.

[Victor valdez]

i think this is impressive after 10oz gloves

Looks like girl who fought Serrano last after she took the beating

Good fight from Keith!! I am looking forward to seeing more Thurman fights vs the top names.

I'm not even a Thurman fan but we gotta cut him some slack here. Thurman hadn't fought in close to 3 years and Barrios is no slouch. In my mind , it was the perfect tune up fight. Not like alot of PBC's criminal mismatches.

I think they are lining him up for Davis, after one more fight. Keith looked good tonight. Barrios is a tough, big, skilled dude.

Thurman is considered a " risk " for Davis . A legit risk. Of course every fight is a risk but Tank's people won't be putting him in with a Keith Thurman. Not a chance. If your a betting man, put cash down on all of Tanks fights, on Tank , for the next few years. You'll make money.
