Thurman Vs Stanionis WBA world welterweight December 9

[Jating]

This is a 50:50 fight for me, but I think Thurman will prevail. Stanionis isn't a fighter of Keith's level. Even though Thurman is inactive, Stanionis is also inactive. Even though Thurman is much older than Stanionis, I don't see how the younger fighter's age advantage can defeat Thurman's vast experience.

Stanionis isn't special. He's not a rising star. Thurman on the other hand was once a star. He had the power and the skills. Although he's not anymore in his best of shape, neither is the young Stanionis.

Stanionis though is a belt holder at 147 lbs, WBC which him and obviously the unified champ Crawford hold as well. But we all know how f**k up boxing governing bodies as they have a lot of belts, interim, regular champion, etc etc.

So I don't think it's fair to say that he is not a rising star. In fact, he had a schedule fight with Spence back then, but it was not push thru because again, there's corruption and that's why we haven't seen mandatories being enforced by this body.

So yeah, it could be 50:50 as Thurman has a long lay-off, doesn't look good against Barrios although he won the fight. But Stanionis though is also coming from injuries that has been sideline him for a while.

Both of them didn't compete for a while. They're both inactive for almost the same period. Thurman's 1 year and 8 month's inactivity isn't much different from Stanionis' 1 year and 6 months.

Very true, that isnt too different.

Good luck with that, I think you are putting your money at a high risk bet, but we never know for sure what the outcome would be, as you know, upset is not impossible, Honestly, I have a feeling this is Thurman's time to shine. He loss the opportunity or a significant fight, one that was rumored to be a prelude to facing either Spence or Crawford. I'm sure his goal is to make a comeback and get another shot at the championship. Winning this fight is the first step, and his performance needs to be electrifying to drum up excitement among the fans, which is what the promoters are looking for. So, I think there's a good chance Thurman might secure a victory by knockout in this fight.

Yeah i know Thurman is the clear favourite going into the fight, not even a question. And i am sure he is highly motivated to get back in the ring and get his chance a the championship. Still something tells me Stanionis still has a good chance this might be a terrible prediction btw, i will still roll with it.

        -  Thurman, in my opinion, has more expertise than his rival. And because of the struggles he had, he will have an advantage over his rival. I can observe that despite being younger and appearing aggressive in the battle, he also moves quickly or is agile.

They might compete in combat prowess and endurance. And based on their current standing, they are practically a match for one another; each player's plan is how they will prevail in this contest. I predict Thurman will triumph there, but don't discount his rival.

As far as experience goes? Yes, we can say that Thurman has the advantage, he even is on the top of the division until he got injured and then Spence ascend to the throne when he was absent. He did try to make a comeback, I remember him fighting a very tough comeback fight against a durable Josesito Lopez. He won that fight but it was not the same Thurman though. And then he lost against the great Manny Pacman Pacquiao. And after that he makes another comeback fight against Barrios who recently beat Ugas.

I think Stanionis is a good boxer as well, so don't sleep on him. He might be unknown for some of us. But I think he will do good here against Thurman as I think Keith could be on the way out of his boxing career. He might be doing good as as boxing analyst/broadcaster and maybe he is just scratching his itch just to fight again.

Thurman's injury didn't impact Spence's championship run because they're not in different organizations; they're in the same division. Thurman genuinely lost his belt to Pacman, and that was a legit defeat. Spence then took down Ugas, who had beaten Pacman, to unify the title.

Long story short, Thurman hasn't faced off against Spence and Crawford yet. That's why it's still intriguing to see if they'll cross paths. For that to happen, Thurman needs to make sure he wins this bout to keep climbing the rankings.....

I think we should study deeper on who really is Stannionis.

According to https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/who-is-eimantas-stanionis-background-record-championships-biggest-wins-of-vergil-ortiz-jrs-next-opponent/c3bwr6ijhrk911hstrvg8uwb8... he is currently a champion, while Thurman is only ranked number 3 in WBA Weltherweight divison.

Championships
Eimantas Stanionis fought for the WBA regular welterweight strap against Radzhab Butaev in April 2022.

He defeated the incumbent with a split decision after the fight went the distance.

Biggest wins
His biggest win is probably said bout against Butaev last year, as it brought his first and only world title.

^^ Wow, so Danny Garcia also moved up in weight already and now going to fight Lara? Going to be very close as Danny has a great left hook and very sound fundamentally. But I'm surprised how Lara is still in this game, lol, no offense to him but I thought that he has retired already. But during his prime, he fought Canelo Alvarez and there are analyst who says that Lara schooled Canelo that time.

So with that, I think I will go with Garcia, he is still fresh, but Lara might give him a hard fight early as he is a southpaw and has great foot work. But in the middle rounds, I'm seeing Lara getting tired from all the movements and Garcia going to catch up with him in spurts and maybe hit him with his signature left hook knocking down Lara.

It's like a double treat for the fans. Danny Garcia vs. Lara could easily headline a card on its own, but let's pass the spotlight to Thurman and his pal. We'll find out if this young champion has what it takes to shine in the division for long period. If Thurman faces a loss, it might just hush him up for good. So, he better put in the work, not underestimate his young opponent, and maybe keep the trash talk to a minimum to avoid any bad luck.

Even tho Thurman did not compete for a while i think he is still the favourite going into it. His record is pretty good and his last performance (tho long time ago beginning of 2022) was good. I would not could Stanionis out tho, and i think he might actually be my pick for this fight. He is young and active with a good record aswell.

Both of them didn't compete for a while. They're both inactive for almost the same period. Thurman's 1 year and 8 month's inactivity isn't much different from Stanionis' 1 year and 6 months.

Before the Barrios fight, Thurman was also inactive for over two years. He wasn't just inactive, he was practically retired. I still have questions about whether he is still committed to the sport or just looking for a payday.

This is a hard fight to predict. Lara has only fought tomato cans in recent years and is only considered a world champion because Golovkin vacated his title and as a secondary champion he got elevated. Danny Garcia has never fought at middleweight and he struggled against a diminished Jose Benavidez Jr. in his last fight. I'm starting to lean towards it being a draw.

Yeah, it seems that Keith Thurman is already contented at the sideline as it seems that he has no motivation to make a comeback after Pacquiao put a beating on him. And then a comeback against Barrios, not that impressive performance. And I do too has a feeling that maybe he is just looking for the paycheck now. 147 lbs is very different when he was the champion prior to his injuries.

Danny Garcia vs Erislandy Lara, a good threat for boxing fans. Not sure if Lara can still fight or if Danny Garcia is also past his prime. Although the latter has the left hand, but Lara could used by lateral and avoid the power punch of Garcia. We never see how Garcia though as a MW, maybe the power is no longer there for him. So I draw is very possible in this fight.

I believe it was his injury that really troubled him, but I won't dwell too much on his period of inactivity. He bounced back with a big win. He's still on the winning side after the defeat against Pacman, and he's making a strong comeback in a major fight of his career. So, he's here to stay. Let's not overanalyze it, Thurman is still a very legitimate fighter.

Why go for a draw if you don't believe in Garcia's chances to win? It's better to pick a side, at least then you'll either end up winning or losing your bet.

This is a very interesting fight to watch I'd like to see if Garcia can bring his power to the middleweight, he has a better chance here than in the welterweight category, Crawford is unbeatable in that division so no way he can have a chance in that division, whereas in the middleweight he has a chance and here is his chance against Lara.

Lara is the current champion in the WBA but I consider him a weak champion compared to other champions in that division, ALIMKHANULY and CHARLO if Garcia carries his power and speed against Lara he has a better champion, but it's hard to take Lara for granted he is the current champion and has fought great fighters the most prominent Canelo.

Yes, that's why I'm surprised because we haven't heard from him for a while and that's why because he has decided to go up in weight. If I'm not mistaken, he was a champion at 147 and 154 lbs as well. So maybe it's time for him to move up in weight as his body can't make that 154 lbs anymore.

But it's a big risk for him to fight Lara.

It's also one of the weakest organization if I'm not mistaken. And that's why he become a champion in this body. Nevertheless, it's a double header for us and it's good to see Danny Garcia back again and looking for that left hook of his to land on Lara.

He has outgrown the welterweight and super welterweight division and so he has to move up in weight class wherein his body is comfortable. And I'm only going to speculate that he could bring his power to 160 lbs. It's just a question on how he is going to carry himself in this bigger weight divisions as he is not a naturally bigger guy.

Lara is the current champion in the WBA but I consider him a weak champion compared to other champions in that division, ALIMKHANULY and CHARLO if Garcia carries his power and speed against Lara he has a better champion, but it's hard to take Lara for granted he is the current champion and has fought great fighters the most prominent Canelo.

Yes, and we haven't heard from Lara and I myself thought that he has retired already. But most likely he become a champion now because of circumstances. Charlo went on hiatus and so this division was open and Lara is on the right place and at the right time. And Danny Garcia and his team also knows this, that's why they challenge Lara for the belt to help Danny become a world champion again.

I did check my favorite crypto sports bookies, and it seems that this fight is not yet listed and we are barely like 3 weeks from the fight and we haven't heard anything yet? Perhaps there's no more hype on the name of Thurman already.

And obviously it has something to do when he lost his fight against the legendary Manny Pacman Pacquiao and then he trash talk him and in the fight he can't back all his talking. He made a comeback beat Barrios, but If I'm not mistaken, Barrios is now a world champion. And this could be another reason why this fight shouldn't be in the PPV as it might not sell.

It's likely that this fight is not yet confirmed to happen on the planned date. Furthermore, I don't think it's Thurman who has lost the hype; it's probably due to his opponent, who isn't as popular. I have a feeling that this fight might be postponed or, worse, canceled.

Thurman has to be patient. Although he lost to Pacman, it's not something that should halt his career. His only loss was to Pacman, a living legend. I would have thought his career was over if he continued losing, but he came back and started winning, so there's still hope for him. Let's wait for a bit and see if the odds are out early in December or if there's an announcement regarding the cancellation or postponement of this fight.

The fight lacks the hype, Thurman is not a thrash talker and neither is Stanionis, but this is a fairly even fight with Thurman with a very slight advantage, both fighters possess good records even if they do not create big hype in the media, and this is still going to be a great fight in the making, Thurman has proven himself but Stanionis even though a dark horse can pull out a huge upset.
Stanionis is far better than Barrios so Thurman should not take Stanionis lightly or he will be in big trouble.

I think Thurman is a trash talker, remember that he used to be a boxing analyst as well, so he knows how and when to open his mouth. The problem is that Stanionis will not bite on that kind of promotions. And yes, there's no hype even though there is already a schedule fight between the two and the date is near but there is no social media coverage whatsoever.

And for me Thurman is done with boxing, I don't think that he still has the same fire in his belly, if he still has then he should have been fighting and not going on another long hiatus. Money fights for him is supposedly, Spence and Crawford, but it didn't materialized. He could be set for life though when he fought Manny and got a huge pay check in return even though he lost that fight.
