Round-by-Round: Keith Thurman vs. Josesito López - January 26, 2019

[Evander]

8-1 Thurman

My scorecard doesn't reflect the actual fight really, Lopez has proven he's tough and can hurt Thurman.
Thurman is mounting the points up with body shots and the occasional head punches but it's a lot closer in actuality.

[Evander]

9-1 Thurman

Thurman is first to the punch which is one of the reasons he's winning on the cards so widely.
Lopez is putting him through his paces.

[Nightmare Roy]

I reckon a lot of guys are gonna fancy their chances against Thurman after this.

[Evander]

10-1 Thurman

Thurman's short compact combinations worked well for him, he stood his ground at times and didn't let Lopez take the play away from him.

[Covfefe]

I reckon a lot of guys are gonna fancy their chances against Thurman after this.

He has no decent level of work rate.

[Covfefe]

I’ve got Thurman wide, but I wasn’t impressed at all.

[Ricky]

Been saying for years. Thurman absolutely sucks. Average power. Horribly negative. Cant counterpunch and now he looks chinny. Horrible. Retire.

[Evander]

10-2 Thurman

I'd give that round to Lopez he pressed Thurman and Keith looked tired and troubled.
Better fight than I expected.
Welcome back to the Welterweight division Keith.

Retire? There’s fights we need to see him lose.

Seriously? You wouldn’t watch him fight Crawford? Why on earth not?

[SenorPipino]

Terrific fight.

Lopez never quit. He'll get some future big prime time television fights after this performance.

Thurman showed his toughness in that nightmare 7th.

He has work to do to return to the very top of the division. Certainly a true get off the rust fight.

Thurman wins a majority

[IrishGuy]

Weird fight, i've thought Thurman looked on an exceptionally early decline since collazo and has looked vulnerable and being hurt in most of his fights., his character and boxing has pulled him through and good starts but after midway he's been in a survival quite often. Spence stops him, not sure about the others.

Thurman wins a majority

I had Thurman wide, he was beyond comfortable but for a couple of rounds. I’d liked to have seen more from him but he was always in front.

Crawford takes him to pieces early.

[Nightmare Roy]

Thurman Manny next, doesn't Manny hold the WBA Thrift belt.

Seriously? You wouldn’t watch him fight Crawford? Why on earth not?

He's so fvcking negative, I can't stomach performances like the one he put in tonight. I'd rather watch paint dry. At least the paint would be trying.

[Nightmare Roy]

Just asked if he'd fight Manny "I'd most definitely probably take that fight"

[Covfefe]

I will never watch him again.

He's so fvcking negative, I can't stomach performances like the one he put in tonight. I'd rather watch paint dry. At least the paint would be trying.

I’d give Pacquaio, despite his age, a chance against this guy. I’d rather see Crawford take him to pieces.

[SenorPipino]

First fight in nearly 2 years.

The Thurman we saw tonight gets stopped by Spence or Thurman and probably even Porter.

But expect the Thurman who fights those guys (if he ever does) to be much improved over the one who struggled tonight.

A lengthy layoff is not easy to sweep aside.

RKY you're obviously a bot.
NO human being thinks in such a bizarre binary fashion as you - you must be a computer !

He went flat and got badly buzzed in a comeback fight. He could easily be back to his best next fight.
Even if he IS past his best there are still fights we'd all like to see.

Thurman stops himself?

I think Pac would win, he really looks like he doesn't like pressure and your always going to get that against him, Crawford and Spence would win easy I think
