^^ Barrios may have power in 140 lbs, but it is not tested on 147 lbs yet and the other way around, what if a true welterweight with power like Thurman hits him in the first time? What will be his reaction then?
So a lot of questions in this fight really, a lot of speculations. However, for us who have been following boxing for so long, we are somewhat going to favor Thurman over Barrios and I personally is thinking that it is possible for Thurman to score a knock out.

^^ No doubt that Barrios believes in himself that he can beat Thurman, that's why he chooses Keith to be his next fight in his first attempt at 147 lbs. And he should be preparing hard because he knows that this is a very difficult fight for him. And upsets can happen in boxing, as we can see recently, Magsayo beat the reigning champion in 126 lbs in Russell via a decision. So we will see if he has what it takes to pull another upset for this year.
That was a good win by Magsayo, and yes I believe in upset as I bet on Magsayo on that fight with Rusell. well, in this fight, I'm with the favorite here as I'm a fan of Thurman and I believe he can teach Barrios a lesson on how to be clever in boxing. This is going to be his come back to fight, I'm sure Thurman would also not gonna take this fight lightly. Try to look on past fights of Thurman which this one is really hard to beat up and when it comes to stamina then guy do have it and even he stopped for a while or doesnt have fight but doesnt mean that
he already forgotten how to box. LOL!
He shouldnt take Barrios lightly though yet upsets could really be just in the corner.
I was just thinking if Barrios would have upset Thurman, he should have more power and the speed. That's how Manny beat Thurman with speed. But I doubt that Barrios possesses both specially the speed and quickness. So it's really a slim chance for an upset. But who knows, we really not sure if Thurman is not affected by ring rust, which could be a good factor as well in this fight.

So no excuse for Thurman if he losses against Barrios, nothing against Barrios but we all know that he lost against a 140 lbs in Tank Davis and that is not even Tank's weight class. And now he try to move up and face one true legit Welterweight in Thurman.
That means his career would not be as attractive as before, he needs to win this fight to prove to the world that he can still come back as a champion, this might not be a championship fight but it's a big fight for him as it can be his stepping stone to get a championship fight again. 
Preparation is the key here for both boxers. Thurman is the favorite by bookies.
But yes, upset can happen to any boxer. Just look at the recent Russell vs Magsayo match.
So now, we will see how prepared both of them when they are inside the ring.
We don't know what kind of training and strategies are they preparing for this fight.
But I may favor Thurman here to be the winner of his comeback fight.

Even in any fighter preparation is definitely one of their keys to successfully winning their fights. I do hope Thurman have had fully recovered from his injury and yeah he is also my bet in this upcoming fight not just because he is the favorite by the bookies but also because this man is a good fighter. May this upcoming fight be his good comeback fight though I can't set aside that Barrios is such a good fighter too and probably this man did his best also to prepare for this fight.
What was the injury you are talking about? I can't remember about his injury after he fought Pacman, I think he looks great on Pacman's fight, it's just that Pacman did better so he won via split decision. What Thurman needs going to his fight is a proper training, he has the skills and talent already, he just need to condition himself to win.
There are even news that he has rib injury as well weeks before the Manny fight that's why when Manny hits him in the side and in the body, Thurman is affecting and you can see because he backs up and then started to cover his stomach.
Thanks, that's a clear explanation, now I know why he was out for awhile. Well, now that he is back, I expect that he is fully healed and he can be his old self again. Thurman is going to reclaim his popular status, losing against Pacman, a legend isn't that bad because it was a close one, but if he still loses here, then I think it will be hard for him to become a champ again.

Both Thurman and Barrios will be looking to bounce back from their first career defeat with a victory in the february 5 statement to get them back on track for another world title. Keith Thurman and Mario Barrios will try their best to get a big win in this fight but Thurman is becoming a much stronger, mightier warrior than Barrios our hearts pump better when we take on challenges. Fighting in training will enable you to fight an established welterweight against an easy opponent.
The Thurman I saw in that fight is really strong, that's why against Barrios, I think he will dominate here and will make some noise in the boxing industry again, and when that happened, a big fight will then be waiting for him.
But some boxing analyst are not looking the same situation.
It's really at disadvantage to not fight within 3 years. It's far different according to them that a boxer is fighting in an actual match compare to continous training. Barriors is the underdog but he is active compare to Thurman.
There's also I read that Thurman is not the same as before. But these are all just speculations and we will see if Thurman is really rusty on the date of the event.
He really should. A loss during a comeback is not a good sign anymore to continue boxing. It's already expected too that he should handle Barrios, not via KnockOut but showing dominance the whole fight. On the other hand, Barrios is on the mission too. He won't allow having a second-loss streak on his career as it will result in him fighting with a good-rank boxer. The fight is just around the corner. We will now see them in action.
This should become his best performance and making his opponent look like an amateur is the best thing he can do since Thurman is one of the best boxers before his injury, I'm sure he already recovered and he can execute his fast and powerful punch easily right now to dominate the fight. 12 days to go before the fight and this will be the most exciting so far since Thurman is a showman that would make the fans want to see him talk before the fight and showcase his skills in the ring.
To be able to keep up with Pacman that shows he got the skills, he fought with the legend, got knockdown but rise to continue the fight and he was even winning in the later rounds. The Thurman I saw in that fight is really strong, that's why against Barrios, I think he will dominate here and will make some noise in the boxing industry again, and when that happened, a big fight will then be waiting for him.

And for us to know which fighter who really prepared well meeting inside the ring will be the best venue, Thurman has that advantage
not because of the bookies or the influence of bookies, but because he's more familiar with in this weight division, he can simply build
the stamina that he needs and all those workouts before he rests from the ring, he can comeback and do the drills.
Barrios is more pressure since he's the one who climbs up and challenge Thurman from this division. We will see what he added to
his skills to compete and push to win this fight..

^^ No doubt that Barrios believes in himself that he can beat Thurman, that's why he chooses Keith to be his next fight in his first attempt at 147 lbs. And he should be really preparing hard because he knows that this is a very difficult fight for him.
He wanted to climb up, and Thurman was his key to success. This path is too tight though as he is new to this division while Thurman was a former champ and very fit to this class.
Quote
And upsets can happen in boxing, as we can see recently, Magsayo beat the reigning champion in 126 lbs in Russell via a decision. So we will see if he has what it takes to pull another upset for this year.
He can use that fight as inspiration, If Magsayo able to beat a defending champ he also has that chance, it will be more on how to prepare he is when facing Thurman and what kind of strategy his camp provides him in order to push Thurman to his limits. If they have good scouting, they can enhance the part of whatever lapses Thurman has.

Everyone is on Thurman to win, I wonder how much money the bookies would make if the result will be the opposite. Most of us know Thurman because he fought Pacman, so probably we are underestimating his opponent who is younger than him and also only has one loss in his career.
The betting market on that match will probably be huge, if not, still decent. Regardless of the result, bookies are no doubt in profits.
Generally, in most cases, odds are adjusted depending on how many bets were already placed on a certain pick. Here in Thurman vs Barrios, even without the odds adjusted, bookies will surely profit.
And not just that, the betting options are not limited only to who will win. There are other options where gamblers will place their bet. That will contribute to the overall profit of the bookies.

What the bookies do in the case there is a very heavy favorite is to begin to offer huge odds for the other party so people feel more compelled to make a bet for them, however this can play against them as it was in the case of the first Ruiz vs Joshua fight in which Ruiz won and the casinos lost a lot of money as they were giving him huge odds, however most of the time this is not what happens, so even if they have an event in which they lose money they can easily recover it with the rest of the events they offer to their customers.Jump to:
