[Boxing]: Thurman vs Barrios - Feb 5

[dunfida]

For sure Odds wont really be in huge gap for sure and lets see on how this one be tallied up.

I hope so, I like it that way so I can take Thurman with some good odds. I'm not underestimating the young boxer but I just believe that Thurman is more experience, smarter and even if he is not active but I'm pretty sure he does things to maintain his body to be ready anytime in a fight like this.

This would be an interesting fight for Thurman. But high likely that the odds will favor on him here. If he wins this, he may go after with the other champions and test once more his strength and power. This is like a warm up for him for the succeeding fights that he will have. With the last fight of him from Pacquiao, I believe, he already learned something from that loss. If he will continue to be a humble boxer, he will gain more followers.
But if he will finally decide to hang his gloves, being a boxing commentator is a very good job for him.

If you listen from his interviews after his fight he seems to learn his mistakes from the Pacquiao fight. And for sure it has put a dent on him because he step out of the game for so long. And maybe now he is over with it that's why he is making a comeback and seems to be rejuvenated already. Yes, he will be the odds favourite, no way that Barrios losing to Davis will make him the favourite. Thurman might go for a knock out too if presented.

Everyone do really learnt up from mistakes and i had remember on how trashtalker Thurman been beaten up by Pacquiao and ends up on that way on which he shouldnt really be having that kind of behavior.

You  wouldnt know that your opponent is much more better than you.Even this guy is been a while  havent some fights but getting back into shape wont really be that hard.
They could easily make their body go back as it used to be but this upcoming fight against Barrios wont be an easy one.

Trainings will help them to condition their body. It's not hard anymore. Their body already has it and just need of warm it up.
trash talks are normal, either it's a strategy from the both camps or it's a promotional strategy to attract viewers' attentions, but
from it all, everything will be settled inside the ring.

Thurman is coming back. If he wants to hype his name, he needed to showcase his skills again and try to KO Barrios.

Same with Barrios. If he can push knocking, Thurman is the best thing to create big noise for his name inside this new division.

So we are now going to see the come backing Keith "One Time" Thurman against Danilo Barrios on Feb 5. Both of them coming from a lost, Thurman to Pacquiao and Barrios to Tank Davis.

I think this is a cherry pick fight for Thurman though, it's a long layoff and he could experience a ring rust. But Barrios is coming up in weight in the 147 lbs and it will not be an easy move up. I'm seeing Thurman maybe scoring a knock out win in the later rounds maybe 11 or less.

Like all the majority here I'm picking Thurman to win the fight he is the more powerful and he has fought a lot of great fighters in the past, compared to Barrios who folded when he faced an elite fighter like Barrios, this is a very important fight for both fighters they cannot afford to lose two in a row, but it's good that Thurman is back in the ring after a long lay off when there's so much action in the category he's in, I won't rule out an upset here because Barrios is also capable of pulling one

Exactly, Thurman fought great boxers and beat them, except for Pacman, but he almost beat Pacman because the fight ended in a split decision where if he had worked harder in the early rounds, he might have won the fight. But that's over, it's already part of the history and his one loss is not something to be ashamed of since it's against the legend and he did gave a great fight.

He will definitely go for a knock out here for sure, this is a comeback fight for him and wanted to impressed everyone and interviews of him saying he wanted to go after the big names like Crawford, Spence and Ugas after this fight.

So definitely, Thurman is thinking that this is a step up fight for him to proclaim that he is really back in the welterweight division and will reclaim his old glory to be one of the champions again.

I think the keyword for Thurman on that Manny fight is too much confidence on his side.

But later he found it out the hard way, indeed Manny has the power on that left hand and the angles that he throws will make you off balance and go down. So that's a hard lesson for Thurman and maybe in those two years that he is not fighting, he has been thinking about it and not make the same mistakes about Barrios and train as hard as he can and bring his body to shape again.

You are on point on this one which both fighters do have their intent on showcasing up a win for such benefit. One is showing off that he's back on the track and one could prove out and make his name a little bit more popular or a new step up into his career.

Everything would be settled inside the ring which is always been the deal and lets see if Thurman is really prepared and would be good if starting up the year with a win.

[Japinat]

Everything would be settled inside the ring which is always been the deal and lets see if Thurman is really prepared and would be good if starting up the year with a win.

Exactly, but I expect Thurman to win here because if he will not, I'm afraid his career will be similar to Broner which is slowly going down now. I remember also when Thurman got surgery, he was also inactive for a while but when he comes back, he still win, so his situation now is quite better and I have no doubt he will win if he trains hard.

Thurman is well rested, and it seems he is already willing to go back and bounce from the Pacman defeat. Broner is different case though, I mean he is really very arrogant and boastful to the next level and that's why when he lost to Maidana, all the hype is gone.

Thurman can still go back win this fight and then fight the winner of Ugas vs Spence or even go directly to Crawford if he can get him to fight him after this.

Thurman only lose to Pacman, no one beats him aside from Pacman in the division he is campaigning, so I think despite the fact that he rested for years, he still got the skills and his power punch to punish his opponent, and his opponent now is a lower quality compared to the boxers he beat in the past.

Now that Pacman is already retired, Thurman is coming back to try to win and dominate, that has been his goal from the start, it's just that he took the risk of fighting Pacman and failed, but despite that, people are still happy with this boxing journey so far and they still believe that Thurman is a championship caliber fighter.

Well we are not sure that Thurman could dominate because even Pacquaio is already retired there are still a lot good boxing fighter that could probably will going to make a hard and difficult fight for him. However, in this scheduled game between Thurman and Barrios I do also expect Thurman will going to dominate the game and could possibly win either via knock out or unanimous decision. I don't think if betting odds were already out.

Every boxer has that kind of goal, to dominate and to become an undisputed champion in a certain division. For Thurman, he was once a champion but got stripped by Pacman, so this fight is like the start of his journey again to win the championship and he has to win it as it's his ticket for the next big fight. I would always believe that Thurman is not done yet, he can still fight and will become a champion again.

Actually he was dominating this division for years before he gets that shoulder injury, rest and wait for it to heal, comes back and fight Josesito Lopez, very tough for him. And then the takes on Manny which is a wrong move back then because at the back of his mind he can defeat Manny, but we all know that is very wrong. And now that he wants to make a second comeback, for sure he has learned a lot from that mistakes. But this time it's very different, now we have Crawford and Spence and also Ugas as his main competition in a division once he was the top dog.

[chaser15]

But this time it's very different, now we have Crawford and Spence and also Ugas as his main competition in a division once he was the top dog.

Let's wait and see if Thurman can pass Barrios. The sequence would be:

Thurman > Barrios
Thurman VS The winner of Spence vs Ugas
The winner between Spence/Ugas and Thurman VS Spence

Although at the end of the line, I think Spence vs Crawford will likely happen.

[Fredomago]

Very rough roads for him. As those 3 mentioned names are very tough competing with, he can start with Barrios if he wins this fight with a KO. His name will be back from the list, and his camp may arrange big fights again. Step by step just need to keep winning each time he got a fight, let those title holders to fight with each other, challenged the loser to make a good way to attempt aiming for the belt, Thurman still young and if his body turned back and be conditioned again, he still have that shot to win another title.

If he wins this fight, he will have a tougher fight for a chance to be a champion again. As rumored, Ugas vs Spence will have a unification fight so if he becomes the top challenger, he can fight either Spence or Crawford which I believe a very hard fight for him.

Thurman still young and if his body turned back and be conditioned again, he still have that shot to win another title.

Not so young at all but true, he has a shot to win another title.

Which one is better for him, Thurman vs Spence or Thurman vs Crawford?

[Alanaz]

I remember also when Thurman got surgery, he was also inactive for a while but when he comes back, he still win, so his situation now is quite better and I have no doubt he will win if he trains hard.

He is the figure that grabs the most attention right now, I think, because this is a comeback that will definitely play a role in bringing back the boxing world.
The two boxers will definitely beat their enemies to death because they really don't want to lose again because if I'm not mistaken they lost to their opponents in the last match.
This will be interesting but I totally agree with you because I think Thurman will definitely be better now

[Fredomago]

Which one is better for him, Thurman vs Spence or Thurman vs Crawford?

If I'm going to pick, I'll go with Spence. Both are great but I'm more on blow by blow counter after counter when fighters are attacking, that's how Spence he loves pushing his opponents and trying to win with his stronger throws of punches, while Crawford is more on defense it might be a boring one once Thurman also play the same safe style...

Just own opinion and I know there are many boxing analysts who understand this sport well.

[coin-investor]

The two boxers will definitely beat their enemies to death because they really don't want to lose again because if I'm not mistaken they lost to their opponents in the last match.
This will be interesting but I totally agree with you because I think Thurman will definitely be better now

I'm sure they will, the hardest for a boxer is to win a comeback fight from a big fight, they badly needed this win to get into contention again, they must their demons and their struggle to comeback because both have frustrations from their last fight on Barrios getting knock out by Davis and Thurman losing a decision against Pacquiao, Barrios will have a huge struggle because he is fighting a guy who has good ring generalship power and experience, having both the best in the welterweight division.
