I believe that Mario Barrios has a good chance to win this fight since Keith Thurman has not been in the ring for over two and a half years. That time might have taken its toll on his physical condition. Mario Barrios also has a height and arm length advantage, which might help him. It will be interesting to see this fight.

But the thing is that Barrios is the one going up in weight and we don't know if he can handle a full 147 lbs boxers. He was knockout by a midget (Tank Davis) at 140 lbs. What more of a legitimate welterweight with powers in both hands? So I doubt that he can pull an upset just because Thurman has not been in the ring for two years.

Each of us has our own views on this or that fight and boxers. This is quite normal. Also, this is my assumption and I do not advise to use this information when making decisions when betting on one of the boxers. I probably won't bet on this fight myself, but I will definitely watch it. There is still enough time to change my mind though.

That's right, betting has to be taken seriously because we are risking money, there are fights that we choose to watch only but would not put our bet because we are not confident with our prediction or we just don't see the value for us to win. For me, this is a big fight and I will never miss watching this and I'm surely gonna put my bet. As I am impressed with Thurman's performance against pacquioa although he lose, so I would put my bet on him to win this fight.

losing against Davis i think is understandable since that beast is really good, he knows he can't beat those boys. some say he is following Floyd's steps. but Barrios going up to welterweight is his best option because the guys in the welterweight have already aged including Crawford. it's his time to shine in that division. he only loses once and that's with Davis, he can box, and combined with the right time in moving up, glory days will be restored.

This gonna be the time for Thurman to show his fans that he is still a champion despite losing his belt to Manny. He deserves this fight and I believe he still has the power to make it possible but his opponent is young and hunger for winning as well and that he could never think that it will be just an easy fight nor an easy winning.

And I think, he doesn't need to be a cocky boxer anymore as karma might come once again. Ohh, if he wanted to win, then he must have to take this seriously, otherwise, he ends up losing his reputation.

Or he still has it, to be one of the champions in this division because it is pretty much stack up, with Spence, Crawford and Ugas.

And for sure his fans are waiting for him to make a comeback fight and he chooses a fighter that he can show his power.

But as far as his cockiness, I don't think he will change his style. He also lost his reputation when a 40 year old boxer handed his ass on a silver plate. Lol. But it's over now, Pacquiao has retired so Thurman must go on with his career.

Both fighters are coming from a loss so this is a very important fight for both fighters, the winner will go on and the loser will be on the brink of retirement, I'm sure both fighters will prepare hard for this fight, Barrios will be prepared for this fight because he just fought a few months ago.
Thurman is my favorite to win this fight if only he can come out from ring rust that hounded every boxer that is on a long vacation.

Thurman being a cocky boxer who always underestimating his opponents is a reason that he is very prone to losing all of the time no matter how much training he had for an upcoming fight, just like what happened to his fight with Manny Pacquiao. I would bet for Barrios because he is more calm and focus when he is fighting, no throwing any attitude while fighting, just pure sportsmanship.

Boxers who underestimate their opponents usually lose in the end. Most of the time, the quiet and humble boxers are more prepared and have stronger stamina. I'm sure that Thurman will get surprised by Barios' determination. I would also bet on Barios because I could see a huge potential in him.

I can fully agree with that assessment. Throughout the years its really been the cocky professional boxxers who lost big time whenever they let up due to how they the misunderestimated their opponent. I would not be too keen on betting on Thurman just for that reason. Boxxing has a lot to do with mental strength of will and ego really pushes that will down, ending up in an embarressing loss.

I was looking for the betting odds but seems like it's still not up this early.

By next month probably the odds will be available, and I expect that Thurman will be the heavy favorite to win. He is inactive for more than 2 years but I still believe he still have the skills to win, as long as he consider his upcoming a serious fight and he will train hard, for sure he will get a convincing win.

Let's just appreciate Thurman since this is his first fight after losing the first time. he's back again and he thinks he can beat this guy with no problem since the preparations are not too long.

He can easily beat Barrios he has a weak chin and body, this is a good comeback fight for Thurman and he picks the right opponent in Barrios who is a former champion, Thurman should make a big statement on his comeback, there's a lot of big fights lining up for him if he knocks out Barrios but if he losses this fight it will have a big effect on his motivation and the boxing community might think it's time for him to retire.

He was inactive after he lost against Manny Pacquiao, now that Manny is out, he will come back and prove to everyone that he can still be a champion. Not too late for him, I believe he would fairly have a chance to win in the division of Spence and Crawford, and I'm sure he is a tough challenger for any champion in the division.

Thurman just to earn a good win, and I will not doubt he can make it next year.

Let's just appreciate Thurman since this is his first fight after losing the first time. he's back again and he thinks he can beat this guy with no problem since the preparations are not too long. I hope he regains his speed and power this time because it's such a waste for him to rest just like that after beating everyone except Manny Pacquiao. This time, he can showcase again his skill and if any chance he won by Knockout, automatically he will be up against some strong opponent again or another chance to take on a welterweight champion.

Very intriguing match, I mean Thurman is away from boxing for 2 years and finally decided to come back because there's a lot of fights around not involving him. So I guess it's enough for him to make a comeback and put his name into the discussions again. But what intrigues me is the fighter he chooses to make a comeback, he is a 140 lbs trying to get a feel of 147 lbs. So this is going to be an easy fight for Thurman.

It could the money worth $2.5 million from the Pacquiao fight had dried up already now it is time to come back since this pandemic is just not helping.
Everyone's goal is to get a shot for the belt it would a climb for Thurman, he wasted 2 years unless he did something significant within that time. Meanwhile, Barrios is also stepping into a new liar making this a fair fight. Who could be the underdog in this fight?

At last, Keith Thurman will now finally be back in action. There's a series of events after his loss to Pacquiao that make him not to be active in boxing. Personal reason or not, at least he now decided to get back on track. It's good to see another top-rank boxer in their division joining the party once again.

Although Keith Thurman is full of talks and sometimes arrogant, I think he got a good lesson after fighting Pacquiao. I'm with him to win the fight and challenge those other top boxers in his league.

Yeah I totally agree mate, I think it's more of a mental battle for Thurman to get to the ring again after that devastating lost to Manny Pacquiao. But by the looks of it, he has since recovered already and can get back his body in the gym to train and forget about that fight and get back into the contention again.

And maybe if he wins this fight, Spence, Crawford and even Ugas could be a good fight for him in the future. And in this fight, I'm favouring him to win by ko or by a lopsided decision.

I wouldn't say that this is an easy fight for Thurman, as you have said, 2 years away from boxing so it might take some time for him to get back into his groove. Barrios is big for 140 lbs so it make sense for him to move up in weight for 147 lbs. He may also thinking the same that it's going to be an easy fight for him since Thurman might suffer from ring rust in the early rounds of their fight. And he can score knockdown or on points on judges score card. And if he survived this fight then there is a good chance than the can win base on scores.

Thurman is a champion, it's just that he lose against Manny in a split decision, but he is coming back because he aims to be a champion again. In order to do that, he hs to fight the champions in his division and they are Spence, Ugas, and Crawford. I heard that they are cooking a big fight for Thurman, probably that would happen after this fight and it's expected that Thurman will win the fight.

Yes, he was a champion but still he must earn it again and winning on this fight is a big thing. If there’s a rumor about having a big fight after this match then I can assume that they are confident that Thurman will win, that’s quiet suspicious to me. Well, Barrios is also eager to win and would not let his reputation to be ruined again easily, he will fight for this.

It's also suspicious to me, because I don't see any reason to be so confident in Thurman since he hasn't played anymore since 2019 and also considering he is going to play against a strong adversary who is active in boxing scenario, helding the superlight title from 2019 to 2021.

Both of them are in similar situations, so I think there are no favorites on this fight. In this case it might worth to bet on the underdog if the odds look interesting.

Its impossible that there would be no favorites but this is actually a hard thing to find out which one would really be for you to put your bets on but i would really still stick with Thurman on here.

Even though its been a long time he hadnt a fight but doesnt mean that he had stopped on maintaining his shape? I dont think so and as a boxer you wouldnt
really let those things to happen.Although Barrios would really be a tough opponent but lets see on who would be ending up to be favorite and whose underdog.

The odds for these two may be near with each other. Barrios may be the slight favorite of the bookies here as he's more active than Thurman. Though both lost their last fight. Anyway, we will know who's the favorite here once sportsbooks starts listing this fight. Can Thurman win this fight and re-start his boxing career again?

Both had lost their last fights but i do still favor on Thurman on here even though he's not that active but recovering or regaining his bodybuild or condition wont really be that hard as a boxer.

I do presume too that odds wont really be that far in gaps which makes more harder to make out selections between bets but i do have my support for Keith on here though.

Barrios isnt a bad choice either so it would vary on someone.
