Keith Thurman (31-1 23 KO) returned to the ring with the third technical round of Brock Jarvis (22-2, 20 KO) on Wednesday evening at the Hordenstan Pavilion in Sydney.

Former WBC and WBO Thurman, 36, dropped Jarvis twice in the third round with enormous heads. Judge Will Soulos stopped the fight after the second knocking down. The official stopping time took place at 2:19 round.

After the first knocking out, “once” Thurman landed with his right hand on Jarvis’s head, who sent him tough. He defeated the count when he returned, but looked in needy condition when the action launched again.

Then Keith went for the murder, unloading Jarvis and knocked him flat with his left hook to his head. Judge Soulos immediately stopped fighting because Brock did not intend to get up from this knocking out.

In the first round, Thurman threw almost nothing, moving in the ring, trying to remain out of reach of the younger, stronger 27-year-old Jarvis. In the middle of the round Jarvis threw Thurman, nailing him many times with powerful bodies, which clearly disturbed the aging former welterweight master.

Jarvis loaded on the left hook, which barely not hit Thurman’s head in the final seconds of the round. It was a shot that would hurt if he joined.

Thurman landed two tough body shots in the second round, which Jarvis caught the attention of Jarvis, realizing that he would hurt him a little. Australia looked uncertain after hitting these blows and was not as aggressive as in the previous round.

Despite this, Keith did not do much to separate himself from the more hard shots that Brock hit him. In this round you could see a gigantic difference in their youth between them. Thurman resembled a much older person.

In the third round, Thurman persecuted Jarvis around the ring, throwing a powerful but very tardy right hands and left hooks. “Once” then imprisoned Jarvis with ropes and I landed with a perfectly located right hand to put him tough on the canvas. Surprising that Brock returned from knocking down, but he did not look in any state to continue to fight. Thurman followed him and finished his work with the left hook, which put him on the canvas.

Lost speed

The fight was the first Thurman in over three years from February 5, 2022 and looked much slower than in the last competition with Mario Barrios this year. Thurman has a lot of the game in terms of hand speed and mobility, which will not come back.

Thanks to this win on Jarvis, Thurman is to face the former WBO Junior Master Master, Tim Trzuu in Australia in the summer. Tsyzyu lost the last two fights and is based with a cruel defeat in the third round with the IBF Bakhram Murtazaliev champion.

In this fight you would have to favor Tiszu over Thurman because of how tardy and elderly Keith looked tonight. Lack of speed and work indicator would put Thurman at the grace of almost every 15 best younger medium stroller. He lost too much from the game to overcome any highest level of 154 pounds. Based on today’s performance, I can’t come up with any significant pretender who Thurman could beat.
