Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman Overcomes Scare, Decisions Josesito Lopez

Damn Thurman haters out in full force. He looked really sharp the first 6 rounds, got lazy and rocked in 7/8 but survived (some call exposed some say it shows grit) and dominated the rest of the fight. 2yrs of ring rust, what do you expect. Great fight by Lopez, true heart and a helluva chin. That 113-113 judge needs to be suspended

He did not dominate after round 8.

He dominated the first 6 rounds. Those last rounds were nothing like the first 6

Keith fights Berto next than Pac to close the year out.

Good point. I'll rephrase because you're right he didnt dominate the last 5, but I feel like he won most if not all, but they were closer. First 6 rds Thurman gives everyone trouble, issue is sustaining that after 2yrs off

[KTFOKING]

Prolly had it 6-6 but score the 7th a 10-8 round. 7-5 would have Lopez up 1 with the kd

Maybe. Either way that is being way too generous to Lopez. He fought hard, but Thurman still landed majority of the solid shots all fight.

Lol if you think Run Time fights more than once more this year. He doesn't like to fight anymore. He'll fight Porter in like November/December, then a bum in the first half of 2020, then maybe...MAYBE we'll see him in an interesting fight in late 2020.

Thurman-Pacquiao WBA unification, Spence-Porter IBF/WBC unification. Now that's a PPV double I'd gladly pay $50 for. Otherwise I'll just continue watching for free.

[AdonisCreed]

Don't expect Thurman to fight Spence or Crawford anytime soon lol

By now as a veteran he should know better

Thurman can move but that doesn’t mean he has great defense, it’s fair but not great

He’s definitely resilient, I respect that

If I’m Floyd, I call Haymon and ask for a Keith fight

Same goes for manny

Keith is no slouch but he’s definitely beatable

[Damn Wicked]

Wow @ 113-113 though.

Keith totally won that fight except the round he got rocked. Most would say he got exposed, but if it were someone else, they'd say, "He got heart".

Dude needs to follow Klitscho, Floyd, Ward, Fury and hold more. He's missing that from his boxing game.

Yeah, the haters won't give him credit for winning the in the way which he did. Lopez did his very best and it still wasn't near enough. Thurman showed his skills and heart...Too much for Josesito.

No idea what Dan Ackerman was watching. Lopez won at most 3 rounds, maybe 4 if you're generous.

This was the kind of performance Keith needed after a 22 month layoff. He needed someone who was going to push him all 12 rounds and make him work.
