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

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.

are you kidding? Thurman fought the exact same way he ALWAYS does,he fought dsg the same way like the fraud that he is. Cherrypicking gone wrong as predicted,lets not forget he went on a self imposed sabbatical "to have long walks on the beach with new wifey"

The question is how long does it take for the swelling in his ass to go down,because Spence would brutalize him.

Jokes aside Keith did take a left hook to his ass cheek as he was running so there might be some swelling for real.

Thurman needs to learn how to hold when he's in trouble!! He's lucky that was Lopez and not a top guy! Thurman struggles with C level guys like Lopez and Collazo and does good against top guys SMH 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

He's beatable but Floyd and Manny won't likely be beating him. Thurman would be a good match for Spence.

I know some people are giving Keith a pass for the lay off. However, he was making a lot of noise when he coming up about taking on greater fighters than he is. We've seen truly great fighters take off for long periods and come back and put on a clinic. Keith isn't ready for Pacquiao, Spence, or Crawford. Somehow I think he gets Pacquiao first.

Adrien Broner vs Josesito Lopez is set to be a good next fight for both guys.

Pair it with a couple good fights that are lacking in name value, and you've got a good card for Showtime (FOX likely wants no part of Broner on their airwaves, tbh).

How about "Boots" Ennis vs. Josesito Lopez? That would go nice with GRJ vs. LSC, if that ever happens!

True I would watch that fight!!

Thurman will definitely want more tuneups after this. Lopez is no slouch, but he overachieved in this fight. The upper echelon of 147 will probably have to wait until next year, while praying he doesn't get hurt again.

Injuries suck, but it's to the point where you should be stripped regardless of what's going on. Fights are being held up much too long, and belts are being held hostage. An injured champion should receive emeritus status and be stripped (unless he recovers in a reasonable time). Gotta keep the high level fights rolling.
