Brock Jarvis says Keith Thurman can go back to his “commenting” because he’s sending him “home with a loss” on Wednesday night in their 10-round main event at the Hordern Pavilion, in Sydney, Australia.
The 36-year-old Thurman has the skills to win, but his age and inactivity make him a question mark. Brock has a similar style to Diego Chavez, a fighter with whom Keith had problems over a decade ago in 2013.
Tszyu Next?
Chavez had Thurman hurt to the body in that fight, but Keith came back to stop him in the tenth. However, he was a lot younger than and busier. If Jarvis gives the elderly version of Thurman the same problems, he can win.
Jarvis (22-1, 20 KOs) is annoyed about the former WBC and WBA welterweight champion Thurman (30-1, 22 KOs) openly talking about his plans to face former WBO 154-lb champ Tim Tszyu next in Australia. ‘One Time’ Thurman is treating the Jarvis fight like it’s a sure-thing win for him. Jarvis can spoil Thurman’s plans for the Tszyu fight by beating him, and sending him home to Florida with his second career defeat.
Boxing fans don’t know what to expect from Thurman because he’s been out of the ring for three years, has nursing injuries, and is getting caught up in reading many good books. He seems to have lost his love for the sport since 2017, fighting only three times in the last eight years. Thurman can’t blame that inactivity on injuries alone. He’s not motivated anymore.
Years ago, Thurman was one of the best fighters in the welterweight division, and was heading towards stardom. However, after a grueling fight against Danny Garcia in 2017, and he’s mostly been seen giving interviews on YouTube. The forces of gravity has weighed down One Time’s career, kept him on the couch.
“Going for the Kill”
“I’ve trained my whole life for this. To get this opportunity is unbelievable. I’ve prepared hard, and I’m going in for the kill,” said Brock Jarvis to Jai McAllister Boxing about his fight against Keith Thurman this Wednesday, March 12th in Sydney, Australia.
“100% it is but he’s coming here once. I’m sending him home with a loss. He can go back to commentating or something,” said Jarvis when asked if it bothers him that Thurman is already talking about fighting Tim Tszyu next in Australia.
“Whatever fight makes sense. Whatever the Australian public wants to see, that’s the fight that I’ll take,” said Brock when asked who he wants to fight if he’s victorious against Thurman.
