Keith ‘One Time’ Thurman and Brock Jarvis both successfully weighed 153 3/4 pounds for their 10-round junior middleweight fight on March 12 in the Hordern Pavilion, in Sydney, Australia. Thuman (30-1, 22 CO’s) looked in an excellent form for someone who was fired from three years. You can see that he has put the work in the work.

Age and inactivity
You cannot exclude Thurman, 36, and lose this struggle because of his age and inactivity. When he was still active, he never beat one of the murderers at Welterweight. His best wins came against Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia. When he strengthened it against 40-year-old Manny Pacquiao, he lost.
The Thurman vs. Jarvis event will be on the PBC YouTube Channel on Wednesday 12 March.
The younger fighter, the 27-year-old Jarvis (22-1, 20 COs), drained a little. One can see that he has pushed himself hard to lose weight and reach the limit of 154 pounds. Brock has recorded for the past seven years. It is difficult to believe that Jarvis fought at Bantamweight (118 pounds) in 2018.
Granted, he was 20 at the time, but it is a significant jump in weight for someone who has reached all that age. His power is good, but he is very fast, and it can be a problem for him. In the recent battle of Jarvis, his clap looked weak and slow. He seems to have been over the throw of his power shots for the time being, and it was against a travel man, Adrian Rodriguez (13-10-2).
‘This is the key for Keith, its delivery system. He has always been a wide puncher, and with the technique he brings his entire body into the rhythm and the technique of the punch, ”says Shawn Porter to the media about Keith Thurman’s punch form before his fight against Brock Jarvis.
“I saw Keith guys stand out when we were 15 and 16 years old. The power he has is real. I think we saw it disappeared at £ 147. I think he’s like me. He became more of a boxer and more of a point fighter. I didn’t try to be a point fighter. I tried to be fast. I think at 154 we will see that the power comes back as before, ”says Porter.
