As I watched the fight, Thurman clearly had the higher hand and indeed he really gave his fans a good fight and won via unanimous decision since he was inactive for nearly 3 years after he lost from the Philippine champ. What a comeback! He started slow but I don't think that he's having some ring rust on the ring as he clearly dominates almost every round. Gotta give some credits for Barrios as he also proved himself that he can keep up to the former champion.

Keith's next opponent? There's no rumors or possible match-up yet as of this time but this is already a sign that he's really back!

Barrios' mistake was that he seemed to be waiting for momentum on the other hand, Thurman was quite aggressive, especially starting from round 3, Thurman had started to attack sporadically to the Barrios area. with a jab from Barrios.
Of the many rounds I will probably see round 8, round 11 and the last round because this is a pretty exciting round for me.

Congratulations to Thurman, Congratulations to all of us who are by Thurman's side. I'm getting pretty big profit now with this win

Congrats on the win, if you notice, Thurman's weakness was again displayed in the fight, that body of him is still weak and he took out his mouth fist so he would breathe easily, the same scenario with Pacman's fight when he got hit on the body. A great return and I hope he will be more active and will be more better in the next fight.

This is indeed a good comeback for Thurman. Now, he tested himself again inside the ring, he knows basically where to improve the next time around to beat other champions in his division. Spence Jr, Ugas or Crawford - they are on his list now. He maybe just waiting for the next call out of his opponent. And he should not take a long break again, he should take this opportunity while he is still below 40s. Grin

It's almost a perfect fight this is something we expect, we all know how good Thurman we only have doubts because he has over 900 days of inactivity, now he has proven that he is back and he is better compared when he lose to Pacquiao, he really is motivated to make a huge comeback, he may not get that knock out but enough to school a former world champion.

It's a wide decision win for Thurman, and I would say good choice of opponents for him.

Not to soft and in paper it looks like Barrios could pull an upset. But it was a dominating performance by Thurman except for round 8 if I'm not mistaken wherein he takes his mouthpiece because he was hit in the body. If only Barrios could follow up on that one, anyhow, let's see who is Thurman going to go after this fight.

That was expected since Thurman has come from a long period of waiting before this fight and thankfully he won this one and he just proved that he has still the will and skills to get back on track and get back his championship title. Congrats and welcome back to Thurman, hope he will land a good fight next time before he will be given another championship fight.

For sure his stocks rises with this big comeback win, maybe top 3 or top 4 fighter in the welterweight. The big dogs as they say is Crawford and Spence. So that is the next fight that we want Thurman to take next. If he is not comfortable, then maybe another tune up fight for him. Spence and Ugas though are going to face, and the winner? who knows, maybe Thurman can get it, maybe not. But big congratulations to him and for those who bet on a decision win.

It appears that I was mistaken hehe. The winner for this fight will challenge the winner of Errol Spence versus Yordenis Ugas for the WBC championship. I reckon that the WBC should have given the opportunity to Boots Ennis and let Keith Thurman fight against a real welterweight. It appears someone is giving Thurman an easy fight hehe. This might not make his challenge against either Spence or Ugas appear very exciting.

@bisdak. Thank you again for the advice hehehe.

That's a wise move of Team Thurman in making a come back fight. IMO, Barrios is a B-level fighter and have not yet tested a true welterweight so making him an opponent could somehow be called a cherry picking in my view but given the inactivity of Thurman, that's a wise decision.

Thurman was sharp in this fight and i could say that one or two more tune up fights, he would be ready for Errol Spence or Crawford if he will be active this year, i mean no taking a vacation for 18 months hehe.

Congrats to all the Thurman believers in this forum

Congrats to you because you won your bet, you predicted well that it's gonna be Thurman winning via decision, it was smooth and what Barrios all did is just to survive the fight. It was a great win by Thurman, I can say that he is still the same, he is precise with his punches and he is very confident in the ring, he will surely be a tough opponent of either the champions, x-Ugas.

I would like to congratulate Thurman on a superb performance, there's little ring rust in his performance I agree Thurman is good but there are a lot of fighters that are better than Thurman, I still consider Spence and Crawford to be the best welterweight fighters. at this point of time, he will likely face Spence in the future because I am 100% sure Spence will beat Ugas

That depends on Spence, if he is willing to fight Thurman then it will certainly happen as Thurman is always open to having a championship fight. Not only Spence, we also have Crawford, and since he is no longer connected with Top Rank, things will surely be easier to arrange a fight against Thurman.

Thurman is excited to be back and he walks the talk put up a great fight, there was one round where he took out his mouthpiece to get more air and that was when Barrios hit him with a huge body punch but Thurman has good footwork and he also admits that Barrios has a lot of bad moves and he is short of exploring it, he'll have a good chance fighting Ugas, but will have a hard time-fighting Spence or Crawford but congrats to the One Time Thurman, he did it this time.

That was an impressive win by Thurman, he is not in his 100% condition but his boxing skills are still way superb compared to Barrios, good for him and he is back, after a loss against Pacman, I think Thurman is back and ready to make some noise in the welterweight division.

Who would be his next opponent?

Cherry pick fight for him? hehehe. Ring rust didn't show and it seems that he is not affected. On the contrary he is sharp with those jabs and jumping left hooks. He caught Barrios several times. But he wasn't able to knock him down, but still good fight by Barrios at 147 lbs.

But this version of Thurman won't win against Crawford.

After testing for awhile, you can expect that from Thurman, but what's important is that he won the fight and it's unanimous decision which clearly showed how he dominated the fight.

Who would be his next opponent?

I like to see him fighting the number 1 in ranking, and I believe that it's Crawford, for sure it's going to be a big fight and Crawford would sell that fight very well, better than his fights before.

Thurman one time is back and there's no hint of ring rust he fights intelligently and aggressively against the tall and young Mario Barrios winning via unanimous decision 117-111 118-110, just what all many of us have predicted he established himself early and almost knock down Barrios, Thurman will move forward and fight for the welterweight title.

Good fight so far, specially in round 6, both have good exchanges.

Thurman's jab is going in and then he counter as well, dominating performance.

But I would say that Keith is ahead on the judges scorecard. I have him winning all the rounds actually, but we will see how this fight ends. It might have end in a knock out for Thurman.
