Brock Jarvis says he’ll hit and harm “the old man,” Keith Thurman on March twelfth of their 10-round battle at junior middleweight on the Hordern Pavilion, Sydney, Australia.
The previous WBC and WBA welterweight champion Thurman (28-1, 22 KOs) seems all of 36, coming off a three-year layoff after coping with accidents and fights falling aside on him. ‘One Time’ says he would beat Jarvis (22-1, 20 Kos) even when he have been 56, and he feels it’s going to be a cakewalk.
“Old Man”
Jarvis, 27, states that Thurman isn’t the fighter he “used to be”, and the accidents, advancing age, and inactivity will likely be an excessive amount of for him. Age hasn’t been form to Keith. His hair has gone skinny, and he doesn’t have the identical spry look that he had the final time he fought.
Keith hasn’t fought since his win over Mario Barrios in 2022, and he’d been out of the ring three years earlier than that after getting a pleasant payday in opposition to Manny Pacquiao in 2019.
He likes to learn and follow yoga. These actions have a means of protecting a fighter out of the ring. Some followers imagine that Thurman is barely coming again to replenish his checking account with good Australian cash for the Jarvis and Tim Tszyu fights.
Dangerous Tune-up
If ‘One Time’ is victorious in opposition to Jarvis, he’ll face former WBO 154-lb champion Tszyu subsequent. In different phrases, Jarvis is the tuneup, and a dangerous one. He’s received glorious energy in his proper hand, and the youth benefit.
“The way this fight is going to go. Keith is an old man now. He’s not the same as he used to be. He thinks he’s the same but he’s not,” mentioned Brock Jarvis at at the moment’s press convention for his battle in opposition to Keith Thurman on March twelfth in Sydney, Australia. “He’s coming off some accidents, and he’s going to actually wrestle to get again in there.
Then 40-year-old Pacquiao dropped Thurman and harm him to the physique of their battle. That wasn’t the primary time Keith was harm to the breadbasket throughout his profession. Jarvis is clearly going to focus on that weak space
KO Goal
“I’m going to hit him, and I am going to hurt him. It’s going to be interesting to see how he reacts to it.”
“He’s never seen nothing like this. I could be 46-years-old and I still whoop his a**. I could be 56-years-old and I still whoop his a**,” mentioned Thurman. “I came back to get in the sport of boxing that I love. They wonder why I’m still here but when I bring that hot fire, you’re going to know what it’s all about, man.”
“I looked at him the other day and he didn’t look ready at all. He looked like he was involved in a yoga class,” mentioned Jarvis. “I’m the one bringing the heat. I’m coming for the knockout. I’m not going to miss. I’m going to hit him and I’m going to hurt him. It’s going to be interesting. I don’t know how he’s going to react at his age anymore.”
