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

[Tag, You're Hit]

So is Tank mire powerful than Keith "Once Upon a Time" Thurman? Did the WBC make this fight a title eliminator? What happened to Avanesyan? Did Thurman leap frog Avanesyan, to become Spence's mandatory? Please say it ain't so! Thurman vs. Avanesyan! MAN UP!

I'm all for Thurman vs Avanesyan. Keith would DESTROY him.

If I'm Bud Crawford, I'm trying to make this fight asap. Keith's style, the way he lunges in with those power shots, is tailor made for Crawford. I can see Bud getting that KO in the later rounds. He's the best at throwing between punches IMO. This would be a nice notch in the belt until the Spence fight.

Man I don't see thurman beating any of the top 3 right now. He might go the distance and beat ugas which is the easier of the 3 (Spence, Crawford, ugas). If anyone seen this or any of Thurman's fights he has a problem(a big problem) with his ability to take body punches.

Crawford would knock Thurman out with body punches easily. Granted Keith hasn't fought in 2 year and had a lot of rust, but this Thurman doesn't handle Crawford well at all. I see the same fate for him vs Spence and ugas might be able to do the same or at least outpoint him after working the body to slow one time down.

Hell I might go out on a limb and say DSG might be able to get one time out of there and avenge his loss if he can get him to the body which is pretty much doable for any of these fighters at this point in Thurman's career.

Bud , imo , would time him so accurately it would be a knockout reel highlight for years to come
Keef , even in his prime has always lunged in

First fight in three years which he wins by a landslide and folks still talking smack…everyone ain’t Superman and he did pretty damn well for almost three years and two surgeries.

Dam the fight, did anyone see that outfit Shawn Porter had on, he looked like a slave from Alabama some dam where, he sure can’t dress!

Thurman looked good, but his Achilles Heel is body punches which was proven against Collazo and last night and probably another fight or two when he was hurt.

Thurman way too impressed with himself. He almost got dropped with a body shot and dude is talking hella ****. He will get slaughtered by any of the current champs. This guy was humble just two fights ago. Now suddenly he is talking in third person like he is the ****. He is about to get humbled again...

Thurman wants titles but lets see if he can even get past an Ortiz or Ennis who are already waiting in line.

I think it's a 50/50 fight! What do you think about Thurman vs. Vergil Ortiz Jr.?
