Keith "One Time" Thurman stays unbeaten after a very impressive win against very tough Mexican Jesus Soto Karass on last Saturday night in Alamodome, Texas, USA. Thurman did as he promised, he knocked Karass down. It was 22 victory and 20 KO/TKO win for Thurman. I predicted Thurman to knock Soto Karass on the 8-th round, but Thurman needed 1 round more and he knocked Karass down on round 9.
It wasn't a very big knockout, just I
can say that the fight was little bit competitive in first three rounds,
after that it was almost one side beating for Karass. And I believe
when Thurman dropped Karass on the 9-th referee decided just to stop
that beating and stopped the fight. It looked like Karass had no
problems with that decision. He is a good fighter and brawler, but
Thurman is just too fast and too strong for him.
In fact Karas shocked me in the first
seconds of the first round when he was able to stun Thurman with his big
punch and then he went for a kill. He connected few more big punches,
but Thurman recovered very fast, he started to move a lot and land his
punches. I can say that he looked better in the second half of the first
round.
From the second round all the fight
went in the same manner. Thurman was moving a lot and connecting his
fast jab and big body punches and upper cuts to the head. He never
stayed in one place just moved and moved so he was a very hard target to
hit for a slow Karass.....
