【Text/Fighting Jianghu】The Spring Festival is walking with us in full of vitality, and in this happy holiday time, boxing fans will usher in a big battle. On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the last day of the holiday, the world's professional boxing star and former welterweight double American Keith Thurman vs. compatriot Mario Barrios.
Today the two have completed the weighing.
Barrios was the first to weigh, weighing 146.25 pounds and passing the level in one go. Barrios, 26, is 1.78 meters tall and has an arm span of 1.80 meters, and has won 26 wins, 1 loss, 17 KO opponents, and his only defeat was last June to Mayweather's dry son "Tank" Davis.
After Barrios weighed, the big name Thurman arrived late and also boarded the weighing platform, and his weight was 145.5 pounds, which was also a one-time smooth pass. Thurman, 33, is 1.71 meters tall, has an arm span of 1.75 meters, and has a professional record of 29 wins, 1 loss, and 22 KO opponents.
Thurman's last game was in July 2019, and he lost to Pacquiao in 12 rounds. Of course, Thurman lost controversially, and if he hadn't been knocked down once, he would have drawn or even won with Pacquiao.
Thurman had beaten Sean Potter and Danny Garcia at his peak, but he was also injured, had surgery on his shoulder injuries, and in recent years Thurman's expressions have been very low.
From the face-to-face view of the two, Thurman is significantly lower than Barrios.
But Thurman's experience and physique in the war were much more than Barrios'. Thurman has heavy punches and skills, and his flexibility is also very strong, but his ability to resist blows is slightly worse. Considering that Barrios is an upgraded combat, so physically, Thurman does not suffer.
Tomorrow's match will be a PPV event, Thurman's popularity is still the same year, if he wins, he will probably fight with WBO boxing champion Crawford. Of course, if Thurman loses to Barrios, it is the role of stepping stone.
It's a game of some suspense, it depends mainly on Thurman's state, if Thurman is in good shape, it shouldn't be a big problem to win the opponent, if it's in poor form, then it may overturn the ship.
Let's pay close attention to this game, when the time comes, the battle report and video commentary will be sent as soon as possible. Let's wait and see. 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
