Keith Thurman vs Amir Khan, Who wins?

Khan on pts, keith loads up so much to get power on his punches and khan just wont be there for them. Khan KO via body shot is a strong possibility also.

 

This would be the fight Keith 'Run Time' gets truly exposed

 

I got Thurman still. He had a bad night but he was clearly winning, Collazo just made it awkward for him. I think Khan mostly outboxes him but gets hurt at some point and finished off.

 

Keith would have nothing for Khan. He's a boxer puncher that likes to stay on the backfoot, can't see him walking Khan down he fights very cautious, I don't even see him having as much success as Algeiri did

 

Tough fight to pick but I'd probably favor Thurman slightly

 

Khan is way more experienced, too fast. Easy fight for him- he should jump at chance. Could drop him to body like he did Maidana. Khan IMHO has only every lost to himself. Very disappointed he hasn't rematched Legoman Garcia.

 

And Khan could end it with a body punch....or a combo.....or a TKO.....or points.....or via multiple knock downs.

Basically Thurman's only chance is via a KO.

Khan has other ways to win, chiefly through a higher skill set.

 

It was more than the bodyshot though.

After 3 round Collazo was dropping his hands and just hunting him down...

Thurman looked slow & wide...really bad. I don't believe he overlooked this fight either.

No flow or rhythm in his work. His power didn't look like anything special...looked weak.

Maybe some truth in what Atlas said about him having hurt his left hand. He looked compromised...something wasn't right. That form of Thurman shows up again against better opponents things will turn sour. Fairly sure any of his closest competitors would have took control on him after the 6th round if they were in the ring that night. 0.8 lb's under weight as well...not ideal.

 

It's nothing to be to be worried about since all of that bunch at 147 have their issues - excluding ATG's Floyd & Pacquiao who are just old and need to retire.

 

Khan has been in with 8 or 10 world class fighters... Thurman 2.

Maidana whilst not as skilled is way more dangerous than Thurman and Khan dealt with him. Khan has only underperformed / got KOed when he thought the guy was limited and opened up i.e. Prescott and Garcia who is seriously one dimensional (who I think lost his last two fight but got decisions). Why was he not "put to sleep" by Maidana. Peterson, Collazo, Judah.

Why all the Khan hate? He is P4P undisputed #1 most entertaining fighter to have on TV. His Collazo and Alexander performances were utter masterclass boxing lessons, unlike Thurman.

 

I would favour keith thurman
