By Allan Fox: Unbeaten Keith “One Time” Thurman (20-0, 18 KO’s) is going to have to be on the top of his game this Saturday night in his match-up against #1 WBA, Diego Chaves (22-0, 18 KO’s) in their Showtime televised fight at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas.
Thurman has been saying for well over a year now that he’s ready to fight and beat the best at 147. He’s going to get a chance to prove that he’s for real against the hard hitting Chaves.
Chaves has excellent power, and he’s a lot like Saul “Canelo” Alvarez with his fighting style. He’s got knockout power in both hands, and a vicious right uppercut that he likes to throw.
