pretty lose to me carpet of the white guerrero and the red all hard punches being delivered by both [Music] [Applause] you know most funds have trouble with southpaw needed because they lack with Guerrero being with his right hand it's kind of awkward throws you off balance but Thurman looks pretty good pretty comfortable keeps that left foot outside gorillas right foot we asked the serpent about it at the meeting yesterday he said he might switch to southpaw upon occasion he lands the right hand to the body is the hand speed up Thurman great hand speed and great recovery good balance we've doubled up a couple of hard shots by Thurman the rarities use that jab get inside work his way inside with the jab a couple jabs at one time [Applause] right to the body the first well father-son trailer bucks in relationships don't always go smoothly but that's certainly not the case for Robert Guerrero and his dad Ruben to be able to have your father there by your side throughout your career Virginie on pushing these working with me training me our time here is very short I cherish those moments with my children my dad gets the cherishes with me in the ring and it's great [Music] has not fought twice in a year since back in in 2010 for today's fighters I was his thermal with one too I mean he says we'll be aggressive and he is [Applause] I would think this is exactly what he visualized it I tell you what he is both his planet which means he's he's one power we come off your toes and get flat-footed that's for power let's check in with BJ you saw thumb and really take control of that first round guys landed some nice body shots they're a static in the corner of him focus was the word they want to continue to dominate they feel like it was very good in that first round Guerrero's having some trouble with the speed of Thurman he's hesitant due to his power his father Reuben has him to relax and move his jab and make sure he throws punches get busy right now [Applause] earlier tonight it was adrian broder in a unanimous decision against John Molina the one only one round the third [Applause] [Music] Thurman has come out very strong against Guerrero wait you know what I see here is in fact their effeminate make weight its position his feet my gorilla and you'll notice it he's right over here Oh uppercut landed by seven [Applause] what gu ever wants to do is try to stab the punches when derma comes in because he drops his hand sometime you see down [Applause] it has been all Keith permit on the attack final minute second round the top did not make contact he's hurt he seems to be hurt delay has a great shot by Thurman took a big punch there should go to the body now when you heard a man go to the body bring his hands down he's a power puncher as you can see looks for the early knockout and zombies we've not had any problems at all with the South Pole off to a terrific start [Applause] live from New York going to be settled host Chris Hemsworth's and musical guest the Zac Brown Band all new Saturday Night Live that'll be later tonight right here on NBC on to round 3 according to our unofficial score see far hood permit has won the first two ten nine - peace second rounds go round four Thurman will put his ban little trouble rarest about that route [Music] in fact power punches are in Thurman's favorite by a 3:1 ratio Thurmond has been on the attack right from the start thermos seems to be a little bit more relaxing and it goes exactly what he wants to do was that Barrera seems to be a little confused here it's not too sure I maybe it's because the hands be a third how let's go to BJ yeah ray the reason that uh Guerrero's a little confused here as disturbing as mixing up his attacks on Maxie that up-and-down body attack Robert can't get a gauge on it Thurman connecting when he wants to and you know ray there was the thought that Dylan might change his style because he's facing the first Westfield in several years but he has gotten morale showing some signs here and a third a third of right back [Applause] ladder to the head and Iike sium huge parts it's like common a solid wall from Guerrero [Applause] at some point the Guthrie may have been exempt by Ibaka and Gorrell without showing confidence and the thurman have the early edge first two rounds oh right hand by Thurman that's the thing with therming and me it in a given moment he could throw a bomb punches very well keeps his balance such an athlete by Karev other term they ban us what's to get between of the changes by [Applause] and you can see they're checking that bump on the left side of the head shot from Guerrero put that out of your mind come on yeah appears to be a technical hit but no one's fault this is Round four from Las Vegas the premier boxing champions primetime boxing here on NBC from the MGM Grand Garden Arena and this will be the site of Pacquiao Mayweather on May the 2nd and he focused with just power in each hand let's bring in Hall of Fame referee Steve smoker you had your eye on that on the corner with Herman checked out it appears it was an unintentional headbutt and if Herman cannot continue beyond the fourth after the fourth round will go to the cards oh that's the situation that's pursuant to Nevada rule Thank You Steve you're welcome sir [Applause] minute into round for nomination landed by Thurman [Applause] in his last fight Thurmond won by unanimous decision but was criticized for not coming on strong after an early knockout of leaded the boondi of Italy knocked him down in the first round with a short hook but it was not considered an impressive performance on the other hand came out very strong here this evening he wanted to prove a point here that he can't fight that he is able to take on anyone he's willing to take on anyone and he could knock everyone out he's right he really wants to knock out the biggest fight of the career of Robert Guerrero was a loss to the undefeated world champion Floyd Mayweather back in May of 2013 went the distance was only his second fight since that loss [Applause] [Music] it's a good shot the way that Thurmond drills that white hand to the body to midsection of ground you just can't want in like that though he's off balance you say it's counting hand and back comes Thurmond seen some hard shots delivered by by both right hand right on Bourbon that may have hurt the realm but given the education another right by Thurman [Applause] [Applause] good round good round controlling the distance well keeping your hands moving work off that jab keep that southpaw angle just like you're doing good fight Matt good fight good fight you're ahead way ahead keep it that way they may see this fight after the fourth round so let's Bank every round you never know what these guys are going to do great great this is why they call them one time that Big Shot right hand and normally it just takes one punch but gorilla on LUMO struggling here for a different angle one punch that did some damage over Lubin Morello the dead of Robert Guerrero works the corner says but to Keith one-time Thurman to change his nickname to rub time because said his last fight that's exactly what he did but he's not running tonight he's landed some big shots and kudos who grows chimp because he's helped he's held up round five scheduled for

said hey my son punches hard - look at that not on his head Guerrero definitely punches hard but in the corner of Thurman they're very calm and collected over here the liking the box and the Keith is

Thurman and he really thrown off rarely not being a stationary target using his foot speed his hands be [Applause] left hand got in by Guerrero [Music] the best punches on a southpaw is the right hand enough work and also a looping right hand what's the most difficult aspect of facing a southpaw because everything is different is so awkward it's so uncomfortable but a good final like Thurman you can contend with that [Applause] right hand landed by Thurman [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] were missing of that right cross [Applause] gorilla is not as aggressive as she needs to be to really be effective against Burma Thurmond is really just bleeding around being comfortable taking a break every now and then ties his band up quick breather right hand some tournament the left hand lands one around for chief what child in front of he's hurt [Applause] [Music] [Applause] they weather and Pacquiao fighting right here at the MGM Grand a second here's a look at some of boxing's top pound-for-pound through the decades Henry Armstrong went 27 low in 1937 alone Sugar Ray Robinson 173 wins in his career the greatest of all time Muhammad Ali Laila Ali tells us he's watching tonight Sugar Ray Leonard defeated Hall of Famers Hagler Hearns Benitez and Duran and of course Floyd Mayweather 47 and Oh with twenty six knockouts back tomorrow all right Thank You al this has been action packed and it has been Keith one time Fuhrman for that last round did hurt Robert the ghost Guerrero because he's not hitting one time he's throwing a number of punches combinations body shots he's really looking fantastic you embraer looked like control Vargas in Thurman's corner was trying to control that bump on on Furman's head a moment ago yes it stopped as well but he's in such control now Thurman just taking his time he is smart taking shots every one of those takes a breather here ties man up using the ring ring generalship Robert Guerrero in the red the southpaw style has not bothered Keith Urban well Keith Thurman talked about turning south Ponca stop call him fight southpaw but he doesn't need that he's doing extremely well very effective good Jeff [Applause] [Music] to this point kind of a restful round for Thurmond scheduled for 12 [Music] wipeout [Applause] what thermic cannot do is just fall sleep over whoever still has powered up both hands and make captions he tries to catch him sleeping [Music] you know guys with town you just can't it can't be too careless the right hand by Thurman if you see the swelling under Guerrero's right eye one punch is nothing luck these guys out this dog took a combination guys have pretty good chance [ __ ] shot Velma duck again hit to the midsection of Guerrero's time is running out in Round seven left hand to the shoulder [Applause] that'll do it for the seventh okay the beauty of [ __ ] you therm is the fact that he puts it once he's her ISM I heard his guy he puts his punches together great combinations not letting up taking advantage of a great opportunity Marv Albert Sugar Ray Leonard Al Michaels Laila Ali BJ florist Kenny race cast a thousands here NBC primetime boxing I know the Thurman felt that it was very important to her Guerrero early in order to make the rail and think twice before walking right in and that is exactly what he has done well Thurman it's fantastic you taking his time controlling the tempo of the fight this period of the fight what Guerrero is trying to do is trying to find a way to land that big punch but he needs to be more aggressive and trying to cut that ring up a little ways minimize the space that Thurman is using let's check here with BJ Florence region yeah Marv like Sugar Ray said earlier the best punches against the south part both the left hook and the right hand keith is mixing in the straight right in the overhand right and his corner says he can't miss Carroll is getting hit with a lot of hard shots but his father Ruben doesn't seem to be bothered by that he's telling him to go ahead keep jabbing and get close he wants to see him throw more punches all right Thank You Layla just under two minutes remaining in round number eight earlier was Adrien Broner in a unanimous decision over the heart punching John Molina who really only landed in the third round it was a lot of running being done by Brona which the crowd did not appreciate but Broder came away with a thoroughly yet Animus decisions like well I've really seen Devon here I mean he's taking his time he's controlling the tempo of the fight he's fighting when he wants to fight bob and weave head fans taking full control of this fight crowd would like to see more action quite a bit of early [Music] but Thurmond has had a major advantage certainly the category of power punches we're pushing back Thurmond [Music] the room with a combination when Darrell glances punches he should stay there and throw more punches both more combinations oh right to the chest of Guerrero [Applause] Thurman knows we is at all time that's why this question Atlanta Furman finishing strong [Applause] another solid performance in round eight here's the unting wilder of a Bronx father those six-foot-seven I should say the bronze barber premier boxing champions on NBC is being brought to you by Kuroda who invites you to find your Beach [Applause] and as odd to read line and on official scorekeeper Street Farhad has at a 79-73 advantage for Guerrero I should say for Thurman [Applause] Herman came out strong finished the last round with with a Florida to permit 26 years old out of Clearwater Florida 24 no 21 by knockout power puncher looks usually for the early knockout not that his first eight opponents all in the first round and was very aggressive at the start against Guerrero Thurman's is taking his time picking his shots waiting for an opportunity to present to present himself and taking advantage of it because as though he knows his hands is so fast much so much faster bigger errors [Music] let's check them with Laila Ali whoa I just spoke to cut man moving Gomez he said he's been working on Guerrero's eyes with the insula I was trying to help both of his eyes so that the Delta fight had it appeared earlier that Guerrero was hurt was able to shake it off but it's been all cute Thurman now night of a probe around welterweight pout coming up on a minute remaining in the night [Applause] I'm really impressed with Caroline because the way he had those rare style being a southpaw meeting with the right he takes his top he's all balanced at all the time [Applause] that he's been cooked [Applause] let's see how those quizzes [Applause] hurt you over [Applause] hey mister [Applause] [Music] [Applause] who shot is coming out for round Chenin and this is where you wonder about having your father in the corner and that is the case with his dad Reuben well you know sometimes the father did by cashing through his son but this fight here was totally dominated by Thurman he looks he looks so incredible taking control the fight picking his shots put his man down almost had him out well the Bell shave Guerrero right at the end of the round an official timeout problem with the glove was impressive my 12 foot that nobody has to be still has to be careful I don't know if it matters at this point but the delay certainly helps Robert Guerrero round 10 of 12 and Keith Urban well that now the right hand Guerrero comes right back see the blood streaming down the face of Guerrero's if whoever's walking in but he's walking his - walking straight in and Guerrero's a fighter who likes to come close most of the way likes to fight close never had the chance to do it because Thurman was so aggressive at the star the load alone means there is so skis so um certificate five shots movie Robert Guerrero coming back and that takes a strong right hand [Music] [Applause] body shots from the grunts one club dick heart not giving up mr. wills cut in a third place right on the eyelid [Applause] coming up on a minute remaining in round 10 those applicants by firming very short and effective the inventions grown by Thurman please

in the fight of the year voted by the Boxing Writers Association this has been incredible it is loud 11 Robert Guerrero hanging in against Keith Thurman and coming back Adam but the way that gorilla came back up good tumble but Thurman that's a setlist for attentional 42 confidence he's a warrior and the crowd is worth Guerrero [Applause] round 11 of 12 [Applause] I'm going to appear that

the referees done an excellent job he has allowed them to fight and that it's not always been the case these guys here finish showcasing who they are and what they're made up how the crowd they each stay away will they exert themselves they threw so many punches the last round they try to take a break here [Applause] here comes Guerrero because he furthered his keeping away coming up on one minute left if the 11th [Applause] although he's doing something smart with Herman trying to use the ring and take his time and keep get a breather he must come back and do something must Oh some

Robert's punch resistance is gone now.

[u/johnnyslick]

For a guy with 21 KOs in 25 fights, Thurman sure got on his bicycle the second half of that fight. I mean, Guerrero was still doing nothing to him but that' same awful lot of... Confidence in the judges to know what they're doing.

Robert Guerrero needs a new trainer and to stop doing crossfit.
