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

[Tag, You're Hit]

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

Vergil would be a tough fight for sure. Dangerous. I'd probably lean 60/40 in favor of Keith. Maybe even 55/45.

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.

first fight in 3 years your right, fight which he won in a land slide your right, but you forgot to look at the fighter he was fighting. He was fighting a guy who was knocked out by tank a135lb fighter. Barrios was picked by Tank due to Barrios being a weak fighter at 140 but still having a decent name and showing.

One time went the distance and showed substantial weakness especially to the body that will be exploited when he decides to move up in competition. Only thing I can see good out of this fight for Onetime was that he had a great physique and good conditioning.

What I got out of this fight that was bad for onetime is that his punch resistance to the body has seem to of gotten worse then what it was before. Barrios by 140lb standards is not a big puncher and by 147lb standards he is definitely not a strong puncher/big puncher yet he was able to have Onetime turn into runtime and take his mouth piece out of his mouth and in his glove. Im sorry but crawford or any of the top guys are not going to just allow you to do that nonsense and run around the ring without cutting the ring off and digging into that body followed by that unprotected jaw. Thats 100% real......

If he follows in the footsteps of most comeback fighters it doesn't look good for him. Most comeback fighter will take a easy tune up fight and then go swinging for the fences with a big fight. (that's a huge mistake for Onetime if he does go that route) at this point in time Thurman needs at least 2-3 more fights before asking for the big boys and that's a long road to travel, that's why we see most comeback fighters get taken out cause no one wants to travel that road especially not the promoters and networks. Its a hard, hard decision for him at this point jump up in comp and not be ready or travel the hard road and risk aging and not being the same by the time he decides to step up in competition guess we shall see.
