So after Barrios gets KO by Tank Davis, he decided to go up to the welterweight where in there's a lot of big puncher? The only reason I can think of is that he really is too big for 140 lbs and there's no way he can make that weight in his next fight.
For Thurman, it's been a long layoff away from boxing, but yes, probably this is a cherry pick fight for his comeback. Because admit it or not, Barrios can't take his punches so Thurman has all the advantages in this fight.

So we are now going to see the come backing Keith "One Time" Thurman against Danilo Barrios on Feb 5. Both of them coming from a lost, Thurman to Pacquiao and Barrios to Tank Davis.
I think this is a cherry pick fight for Thurman though, it's a long layoff and he could experience a ring rust. But Barrios is coming up in weight in the 147 lbs and it will not be an easy move up. I'm seeing Thurman maybe scoring a knock out win in the later rounds maybe 11 or less.
