Keith Thurman vs Antonio Margarito (Prime for Prime)

[2128778]

Thurman from the DSG fight versus Margarito from the 1st Cotto fight.

How do you see it going?

I think Margarito would've stopped Keith. Keith could outbox Margarito in the early going, but I don't see him being able to keep Margarito's pressure at bay.

With wraps, Magarito
Without wraps, Thurman

I’m liking Margarito here.
I even think that he could hurt Thurman and get him out

He could certainly hurt him to the body. Keith is vulnerable to body shots. And Marg was a good body puncher. Most notably, he took Cintron out with a body shot. And also, hurt Cotto and Pacquiao with them.

On the flip side, Thurman's footwork and movement could've frustrated Marg. I could see Keith being able to turn him around. And he'd certainly dish out some of his own punishment, when Marg will be coming in face-first. Thurman hit hard. It's interesting, whether he'll manage to stop Marg in his tracks.
