Keith “One Time” Thurman v Josesito Lopez 26/1/2019 ITV 4

[TitoFan]

Thurman seems to be recovering, but that 7th could've been a 10-8 round, to be honest, it was so one-sided.

[Alpha]

7-1 Thurman, plus KD of Lopez, plus 10-8 rd for Lopez.

[Spicoli]

Thurman back on the jab and moving himself instead of being knocked all over the ring , much better 9th but I don't see Spence hiding under his bed anytime soon. Good scrap

[TitoFan]

Wow... some flush shots from Thurman did nothing to Josesito, who countered. I guess it's not "One Time" as far as Josesito's concerned.

He literally just threw pity pat combos mid 10th and gets on his bike and rides away. Lopez didn't come here to lay down

[TitoFan]

Josesito's one tough "hombre."

[TitoFan]

Thurman probably won the 11th, but got hurt midway through the round by a short left hook. Hell of a fight!! Been a good card today.

[Spicoli]

Lopez throws the left hook to the body like his glove is underwater. Thurman doing his peter pan tap tap tap routine to get to that bell now. Lopez might have nicked that round says beer.

[Hulk]

Fun fight. Honestly, after coming back from such an enormous layoff, Lopez was a very respectable opponent and fought his ass off. He had Thurman in serious trouble but Keith has a champion’s heart and refused to lose. If he fights Manny next then that is a very winnable fight for both men.

It was a fun fight. But I wouldn't say people are hating on him as there is some to criticise. A big one is still waving a belt around off 2 yrs of doing nothing. Two yrs out is a long time but it can also be said that it's also more than enough time and prep to ensure readiness. I actually worry more about his defence and that after he was hurt he never regained a power advantage. He basically got on his bike and shadow boxed. I mean hell, Mikey Garcia took two years off and now sits ready to challenge the top guy in Thurmans division and a name Thurman wouldn't even speak Saturday. I really wonder if Thurman has assumed too much and let it pass him by a bit.

Thurman has almost always got on his bike in the later rounds at world level. I think there was a lot of ring rust this time but even allowing for that I wasn't impressed with him at all. I'm not sure he's all that hungry anymore, and I don't think he'd beat Manny if that fight happens next. Two years is a hell of a long time to be out for those injuries. I think mentally he's checked out already and wants a big payday or two and he'll call it a career.

[Alpha]

8-1 Thurman, plus KD of Lopez, plus 10-8 rd for Lopez. The last 2 rounds have been close.
