By Dan Ambrose: Newly crowned WBA World welterweight champion Keith Thurman (24-0, 21 KOs) says he’ll be looking to be the first fighter to KO former two division world champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (32-2-1, 18 KOs) in their fight on March 7th in this Premier Boxing match at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Guerrero, #2 WBC, #4 WBA, #7 IBF, has never been knocked out before during his 14-year pro career so it would be a big deal if the 26-year-old Thurman were able to get a stoppage win over Guerrero. But for Thurman to accomplish that task, he’s going to need to stay in the pocket more than he has in his previous fights.
