Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman Aims To Make a Statement on Saturday

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Two other welterweight fights scheduled for Saturday night in Las Vegas have received much more attention than Keith Thurman’s clash with Italy’s Leonard Bundu.

But by the time those three fights are completed early Sunday morning, Thurman hopes his performance is so impressive fight fans will talk enthusiastically again about his career, the way they did earlier this year. After the Thurman-Bundu bout Saturday night at MGM Grand, Amir Khan and Devon Alexander will square off in a 12-round, 147-pound main event that Showtime also will televise. A short trip down Las Vegas Boulevard, welterweights Timothy Bradley and Diego Chaves are scheduled to square off in another 12-round welterweight bout that’ll headline HBO’s “World Championship Boxing” tripleheader from The Cosmopolitan.

One Time's gonna make this guy look like a bum!

This fight WILL NOT go 5 rounds.

War Keith! Lets go baby!

I liked Thurman, still do, but beating this guy won't do much for him. He needs to get in the ring with someone good, he should fight Alexander regardless of the outcome of the Khan fight. I don't think Thurman is afraid of anyone, he might be a throw-back fighter as he claims he is, but Haymon might not agree with that, and might just keep feeding him bums.

I demand kieth fight mayweather, not khan.

He's good, but Alexander would definitely give him problems. I just get the idea a slick boxer tactician is going to be his nemesis. He does have some boxing ability to go with his power, but without someone right in front of him trading... I just think he'll hit a wall.

put him in there with danny garcia next. toprank gb truce.

Looking forward to seeing Keith in action again... though, I have been slightly disappointed. I was a big fan at the beginning but I have slowly been disgusted with his retreating / boxing as of late. Take off the One Time name if you are going to run like a beach seriously. Keep it if you will always go forward and look for the KO. Saturday will be a make or break situation for me as a Thurman supporter.

Ha ha ha..Thurman will be expose big time!

Bundu is 40 years old, Thurman's next opponent will be a corpse at this rate.
