It is reported that Keith Thurman will be out of any boxing-related event for 22 months to heal his injury. He will again at hiatus instead of fighting again in the next 3-4 months. That will contribute to his inactivity on the boxing ring.
He will probably be at age 34-35 on his next fight. Age is a factor for a boxer that is not active.
Congratulations on his win but I agree, he will surely have a tough time if he will face the top-tier boxers in his division.
Can you share the source of that report? I'm looking for the said report but could not find it. If Thurman will rest again, I guess the injury is really serious and I'm sure his future opponent already marks that spot of his body so they can beat him by his weakness.
No, there is no serious injury in Thurman after his fight against Barrios. He has handled his body as well as his opponent well. He's got a good start which gave him the advantage for the rest of the fight.
I think harizen is mistaken. He must be reading an old news. That 22-month hiatus was what happened to Thurman after beating Danny Garcia for the WBC welterweight title. Thurman had an elbow surgery after that. The fight was in 2017. His next fight happened in 2019, two years later.
Yep, as far as I can remember that injury was back and it was after the Danny Garcia fight. Although he had a hand injury after the Manny Pacquiao fight. But there was no reports of a injury after the Barrios fight.
And as expected by the majority here, Thurman won by UD as Barrios has no answer and just like won 2-3 rounds on the judges score card and it was a lopsided win by Keith.
