[Boxing]: Thurman vs Barrios - Feb 5

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

I think Thurman really went over board with his trash talking to Pacquiao, or maybe that is not his personality after all....

We thought he went overboard because we bought his trash talk. what matters is in the end they become friends and there's no trash talk anymore. If Thurman was real with his statement, it would be hard for him to accept his losses but he was humble on his defeat and he showed good sportsmanship so he gain respect despite his trash talk.

Yeah, I think he made the fight sell with all his argument of "I'm going to retire Manny Pacquiao".

So we try to watch the fight but it didn't happen, quite on the contrary though, he gets knock down on the first round, then tries to rally back but Pacquiao has a tough chin and then scoring with good body shots on Thurman and it was enough to escape for a great win.

Thurman then eats his word but acknowledge that he underestimate Manny back then and sure enough he went for a long layoff and think all over again and what to do with his career.

I guess he really tries to attack Manny with those kind of word, I mean it's a psyche war. But knowing Manny, who has met a lot of trash talking during his career, he was not bother by any of the words throw by Thurman.

And it really like went back fire on Thurman, he bark on the wrong tree so to speak as Pacquiao seems to be immune with the trash talking and would rather focus on the fight rather than using energy to talk back.

But let's see what Thurman's trash talking will be against Barrios, maybe when they have a face-off he will used the argument that he was beaten by a little guy in Tank Davis or something like that.

For sure Thurman will have a choice of words against Barrios and we will here it as some as the fight gets closer. He is also an announcer so we all know that once he open his mouth, it's hard to stop and he could trash talk Barrios just like what he did to Manny.

Let's check the betting odds again. As per this site https://www.oddschecker.com/boxing/keith-thurman-v-mario-barrios/winner

Thurman is the favorite though not a heavy favorite, and I think the odds are still very attractive. He is currently 4/7, -175, or 1.57 in decimal.
That's 57% winning of your bet, I think I can take it without hesitation as I really love to see him win here.

At Duelbits, Thurman is at 1.59 odds. Just a lil bit higher.

I even saw one crypto bookie here offering 1.68 in favor of Thurman.
So yes, Thurman is slightly the favorite here. Hope he will not disappoint us here.
If he will win this fight, for sure, he will go after big names.
This is just a test of his strength in this comeback fight.

The same thought. He doesn't want to risk a big comeback fight and wants to test his strength first on the lower tier.

But I think it's not just the reason. I know there are lots of chances opened to him but there's always a conflict. And now that everything is settled and finally got a fight schedule, he will now test if his "strength" is still there and just waiting to be awakened.

I think that should be expected for Thurman. If I'm not wrong, I think most of his opponents received trash talk to him meaning that was his character in the beginning.

Maybe to market the fight or just too confident to himself.

I'm now eyeing to underdog Barrios to win and put Thurman in losing and will lead to his early retirement lol.

I think it's typical of a American boxer to really trash talk their way to the fight, after-all they wanted to make some noise so I also expect Thurman to start going to the public more often.

However, it's hard to see the underdog Barrios winning the fight. I mean this will be his first time to fight in the bigger division. He may have a hard time making weight for the 140 lbs division that's why he lost to Davis. But 147 lbs is different as there are a lot of good and power puncher in this division and that he may not take the power of Thurman.

Thanks, I don't know that it's already available in our favorite crypto bookie here, I'll go check it and I'm willing to take that odds for sure since I believe Thurman is still capable of dominating his opponent and Barrios should not be a tough opponent for him.

Odd is decent considering Thurman's capabilities, though there are also fans for Barrios who will probably to take that odd too.
I like to see how Thurman will try to regain his old glory after that defeat against Pinoy legend Manny Pacquiao, it's a new
start for him, an opportunity to showcase his fighting skills and aim for another title fight.

Not bad if you will take this for Thurman if you really support this guy. 1.57 is fair enough for this favorite...

Yeah, betting on Thurman early might be a good idea, 1.57 and then throw some big money on him.

I think he is over with the Manny Pacquiao lost, he has received a lot of criticism back them but for sure he has forgotten that already and move on and now solely focus on the fight on his table.

He is still young and at the prime of his year. Maybe it really did some good on him taking a long break after that devastating lost from Manny.

I'm taking it, it's a decent odds considering Thurman is a decent fighter as well. I can get 1.64 odds from another sportsbook as my account is entitled to a price boost, so that makes it more attractive. Good luck to us who believe in Thurman, hopefully, he will win this fight.

Same here, there's no way I would think twice before betting on Thurman, that's a decent odds already as I was expecting I would get 1.30 on this fight, but here we are,  the odds are pretty attractive for a fighter that was dominant before he loses to Pacman. Thurman will rise so this fight is really important for him and I trust him that he can deliver a "V".

Boosting is another great way to increase your odds, and you are right, Thurman's fans will probably bet for him,

Believing that he still that passion with this sport. That's why he's now back and ready to fight.

I would check that and if I have a spare budget, I will also place some bet for Thurman.

I still believe that he can beat Barrios as he doesn't have to adjust that much,

only needs to prepare with his old routines and start increasing his stamina.

Thurman has never been KO in his career, though he got knocked down by Pacman he continued and he even gets stronger in the later rounds that always result in a victory, unfortunately, he lost via split decision and that was really close. Thurman has power and good stamina, if he stays disciplined after a while of inactivity, then we can assure that he will win here, probably via KO.

Something that has always caught my attention is boxing statistics because they are rarely wrong, years ago when I went to watch a fight, I was based on the preparation of each boxer, how hard was their training, what their coaches talked about. of them and everything that had to do with their physical preparation, of course this has to do with the assessment of each athlete. For now, the domain belongs to Thurman and I think it will continue to be the case, if we take these numbers into account they are very strong, however I have a lot of doubt about Barrios because he may surprise.

You will not be able to put your bet if you have doubts, you have to understand that this is gambling, we can bet and hope we win as we may also be wrong. For me, I would always choose Thurman, win or lose, no regret because that's my decision and I'm confident with it.

Thurman has power and good stamina, if he stays disciplined after a while of inactivity, then we can assure that he will win here, probably via KO.

And he shows some weaknesses that is his body. Every time he was hit by Manny, he flitches so Barrios will target that body for sure. So it really up to Thurman on how to prepare in this fight. Maybe he will strengthen his abdomen, not sure if there is a training though to do that.

But he will still be the favourite to win in this fight even after a long lay off. Bettors knows that Thurman is the better boxer here and he could win by KO.

Yup, he almost win that fight. If he didn't get that early knock down, that split decision might have a different outcome.

He fought well and if he continue to have that same discipline with his body, conditioning is not hard for him to bring that

stamina back, it's interesting to place some decent bet for Thurman he still have that good edge since he just rest for a while but

it's the same ground where his feet originally standing..

It was a fair match against Manny, in that fight, Manny showed that he is not anymore in his prime as he got tired in the later rounds, a good thing he dominated the first half of the fight so he impress the judges. now, it's time for Thurman to come back, by winning this fight, I would say he officially returns to the big stage of warriors.

[Jating]

I read some interview that Mario Barrios said that he doesn't want an easy fight in his maiden match for the welterweight division so he chooses Thurman as his first fight.

Not sure though if this is true, whether he is the one who offer Thurman a fight or Thurman's camp put the contract first to Barrios. Nevertheless, it might be too much for Barrios to swallow as Thurman is one of the best welterweight we have right now.

for now maybe I will be by Keith 'One Time' Thurman's side in this fight.
he still hasn't finished after losing to manny in 2019 ago and he is now trying to make something more interesting here.
On the other hand, the match will not run smoothly and will be very exciting to watch, even though I still predict that Keith will still be quite superior.
he lost to manny in 2019 after going through 12 rounds and even if it loses still can't say that he is weak and even he is very resilient in this.

And he will do everything to win again. It's an exemption fighting Pacman, now that the legend is out and earns the best experience in his career already, it's time for him to come back and start dominating again, giving the top-ranking welterweights a real challenge.
