Comments Thread For: Josesito Lopez Not Counting On A "Rusty" Keith Thurman

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

As a boxer who has been underestimated and overlooked his entire career, Josesito Lopez knows better than to expect anything less than Keith Thurman's A-game this weekend. The veteran contender from California is a heavy underdog to unseat Thurman, who returns to the ring after having spent the past 22 months on the injured list. The two will collide this Saturday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, with their scheduled 12-round title fight to air live in primetime on Fox (8:00pm ET).

That's good that he's not taking a returning Thurman lightly. Thurman is still an elite fighter. I like both guys but I'm excited for Lopez' opportunity at a world title. I know he's gonna give it his all. He's got heart and with Robert in his corner he should be competitive. I favor Thurman but if Lopez doesn't pull off the upset, I can see him being competitive for as long as it lasts. He's got a shot at a world title, certainly that's gotta get him up for this fight.

Hell naw, the most well rested vicious Thurman we ever saw is gonna show up BUT Josesito Lopez is still gonna stop that motherfucker and make it look easy. EASY WORK!

People on here giving Lopez way more chance than the books. If I bet $100 on Lopez I'd win $1400 but that same $100 would get me $2 if Thurman won.

Seems like the people with the money are confident Thurman is in shape and ready to go.

Lopez should turn the fight into a brawl and hope Keith's fragile hands don't hold up lol

I'm a Josesito Lopez fan, But "One Time" is gonna give the "Riverside Rocky" a Clubber Lang I type of beatdown.

I respect both dudes and will be at the fight hoping for a war. My pick is Thurman by rounds 8 or 9.

Lopez vs T

I will of course be rooting for Lopez. I know he can do it if he plays it smart.
