By Jim Dower: Last night, former two division belt winner Robert Guerrero (32-3-1, 18 KOs) suffered a 12 round unanimous decision defeat at the hands of WBA welterweight champion Keith Thurman (25-0, 21 KOs) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. In some ways, Thurman gave Guerrero a worse beating than Floyd Mayweather Jr did in his win over Guerrero in May of 2013.
The Thurman-Guerrero fight was a lot more competitive than the Mayweather-Guerrero fight, because Guerrero was able to land his power shots all night long against Thurman. Guerrero rarely missed with his shots. The only thing that made it difficult for Guerrero to land was the movement that Thurman used in the last six rounds.
