Expert Boxing Predictions Analysis: The sinewy 5’8″ Thurman appears to be the complete package with explosive power, lightning hand-speed and a multi-faceted defense. Thurman is a boxer/puncher that looks for the knockout from the opening bell with punches in bunches. Despite his reputation as an all-out offensive buzzsaw the Florida fighter has also shown good head-movement, footwork and boxing skill.
The broad-shouldered 5’8″ southpaw Guerrero is a grinder, with excellent overall boxing skill and determination. Guerrero has a cast-iron jaw and is a very-good combination puncher that can fight at any distance. Guerrero is not a speed-demon and his ordinary athleticism makes him vulnerable against athletically superior fighters. Keith Thurman vs Robert Guerrero Odds Over/ Under is at 9.5 Rounds

ESPN2 News Bottom Line: Thurman is the better athlete with advantages in power, speed and agility but Guerrero is the better fighter. Thurman must be set to punch and Guerrero’s stiff southpaw jab will give the puncher fits. “The Ghost” can fight at any distance, throws more accurate combinations and is far more seasoned than the still growing Thurman. Thurman’s long layoff also won’t do him any favors against a fast starter like Guerrero. Take Guerrero at the juicy +475 price tag and laugh your way to the bank.
