A “Haggard” return: signs of age and wear and wear raise concerns for Thurman

Commentator Shawn Porter said that the return fight on Wednesday March 12 for the former unified Welters Champion Keith Thurman and Brock Jarvis is a “60-40 ″ One in his eyes in their 10 -round pavilion at the Hordern Pavilion, Sydney, Australia. Porter gives 36-year-old Thurman (30-1, 22 KB) according to his experience, skills and mobility.

What worries about Brock (22-1, 20 KB) is that he told him that he wanted to start slowly against Thurman and “react” to what Keith does. Porter considers this as a bad strategy to defeat Thurman, which has only fought once since 2019 against Marios Barrios in 2022.

The bad strategy?

Shawn believes that Brock should push a quick rhythm and make Thurman fight stronger than it is equipped to do it at his age after being inactive for most of the last eight years. He has only fought four times since 2017. This is simply based on young people and the power of punching.

Thurman looked like yesterday He lived under a bridge. He had the haggard and aged appearance of someone who had lived a difficult life in the past three years. If I had to guess the age of Keith without knowing it, I would say at least 45. What did the Devil Thurman have done to look like this?

Brock started slowly during his last fight against Adrian Rodriguez before unloading on him with big blows to mark a blow in the fourth round. He seemed to have been able to stop him in the first round if he had immediately attacked.

“What Brock told me is that he is known to be aggressive and start quickly. He doesn’t want to do that. He wants to start slower and react to Keith. This is not a good match plan, “said Shawn Porter media About what Brock Jarvis told him what he planned to do in his fight against Keith Thurman this week on Wednesday, March 12.

“Keith is so unpredictable and can do so much. You try to take his rhythm, and that’s literally what he wants you to do. I don’t know if Brock can see it and make an adjustment. That being said, it’s a 60/40 fight. Keith can control the beach, the distance, the rhythm, the speed and the tempo, ”continued to wear.

Brock must put it on him and really push his heart rate. If he does it, I think he can remove it, “said Shawn.
