damn buzz died down a lil bit for this....well at least for me.
I will say regardless of the outcome, Keith can benefit massively, by fighting more than once a year. Fighting 3 times a year is achievable, and two is acceptable, but once? C'mon

Keith Thurman Breaks Down Danny Garcia's 'No-Look Hook'
By Victor Salazar
New York - One of the best weapons in boxing is the vicious left hook of Danny Garcia (33-0, 19 KO’s). It sent Amir Khan tumbling to the ground and made Eric Morales do a helicopter spin. That weapon will be one of the key elements that his opponent on Saturday night, Keith Thurman(27-0, 22 KO’s), will have to look out for when the two of them meet inside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
At an open workout this past week, Thurman mimicked what he called the ‘no-look hook’ that Garcia threw. 'One Time' was seemingly mocking the WBC welterweight champion. Although it was all fun and games during fight week, Thurman - who holds the WBA welterweight championship - took a more serious tone when discussing Garcia’s left hook.
“Why does he not need to look?” questioned Thurman. "Because one thing Danny likes to do is when he trades.. is he will let his opponents attack first, he attacks second. When Khan got caught with that left hand, he landed a right hand but his power isn’t the same as Danny, thus it did not knock Danny off balance and Danny being so flat-footed, some talk about that sixth toe.. who really knows. He’s very well grounded. Because he’s very well-grounded, the theory is if you’re going to put hands on me, I should be able to touch you.”

The two will look to unify their welterweight titles in a nationally televised fight on CBS in primetime. Thurman will surely be on the lookout for the hook and says the key is to keep an eye at Danny’s body and not his face.
“Fighter know things,” explained Thurman. “I don’t have to look at your chest, I could look at your feet, I could look at your waist and I’ll understand the distance that you’re fighting and range you are in.”
“Danny’s left hook is actually a technique off tucking the chin in as far as he can and committing to the trade. He actually will do it from both sides. That's where it becomes a very sneaky move-maybe a veteran taught it to him, maybe it was his dad, maybe it’s just something he got attached to and something he favors.”
So what's Thurman going to do if he sees Garcia tucking his chin in deep?
“I been telling myself in preparations... well if he looks down - I’m getting the f*** out of the way. It’s boxing man. I been requesting this fight for a while and wanting to unify these titles. It’s a fight like this Saturday night that makes boxing great,” Thurman said.

Thurman gonna be a great coach and/or commentator after he hans them up. Seemingly he not only studies his lesson and goes home but actually understands and analyzes it. I miss this from a few fighters. Kovalev for example. Hell of a fighter but seemingly he just does the same routine every time, doesn't prepare to opponents differently and etc... not a smart guy in general what he does is just usually more than enough but once it isn't he is fukked cause he can't adapt, see the Ward fight.

When they start taking calls towards the end it gets mad funny
Lubin Looks to Make Millions Take Notice in CBS Bout Against Cota
By Keith Idec
NEW YORK – If you don’t know him, you should.
That’s what Showtime’s Stephen Espinoza said about Erickson Lubin during a press conference Thursday at a Manhattan hotel. Lubin understandably feels the same way.
The powerful prospect from Orlando, Florida, also appreciates the magnitude of the opportunity that awaits him. More than three times as many people probably will watch his fight Saturday night against Jorge Cota on CBS than would watch it if HBO or Showtime were to televise it.
This isn’t just a platform for the 21-year-old Lubin (17-0, 12 KOs) to earn a shot at the WBC super welterweight championship currently owned by Jermell Charlo. It’s an uncommon chance to resonate among millions of television viewers who might be casual boxing fans at best.
Lubin promises he won’t waste it.
“This means a lot,” Lubin told BoxingScene.com. “Me getting to fight on CBS, in prime time, and you’ve got a great main event in Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia, it’s a chance for me to leave my mark right now and do something special. I couldn’t ask for more than this. He’s in the way of me getting my title and I’ve gotta run him over.”
The Lubin-Cota contest will open just the second CBS boxing broadcast in prime time since Leon Spinks upset lineal heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali in February 1978. The main event between Philadelphia’s Garcia (33-0, 19 KOs), the WBC world welterweight champion, and Clearwater, Florida’s Thurman (27-0, 22 KOs, 1 NC), the WBA world welterweight champion, has rightfully received most of the fan and media attention in advance of this CBS doubleheader (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT).
But Lubin intends to “steal the show” against Cota (25-1, 22 KOs), who on paper appears to be the most dangerous opponent the strong southpaw has agreed to fight since he turned pro amid much fanfare in November 2013. Mexico’s Cota has knocked out 85 percent of his professional opponents since making his pro debut in June 2009.
“You guys can expect fireworks,” Lubin said. “But I’m gonna be smart. I know he’s gonna go in there and try to throw bombs at me and show he’s the bigger man. But I’ll show him who’s the bigger man. It’s ‘Hammer Time.’ ”
The 29-year-old Cota defeated former Cuban Olympian Yudel Johnson (17-3, 9 KOs) by unanimous decision in his last fight. Cota dropped Johnson once apiece in the eighth and ninth rounds on his way to winning a 10-rounder on all three scorecards (96-91, 96-91, 95-92) on August 2 in Winter Park, Florida.
Beating Johnson extended Cota’s winning streak to nine fights since fellow Mexican Marco Antonio Rubio (59-8-1, 51 KOs) stopped him in the seventh round of their June 2012 fight in Torreon, Mexico. The lone blemish on Cota’s record notwithstanding, his manager, Sampson Lewkowicz, expects Cota to test Lubin unlike any of his previous opponents have been able to do.
“I don’t bring opponents,” Lewkowicz said. “I’m very insulted by what my friend, [promoter] Lou DiBella, said. I don’t bring opponents. I bring challengers to the business. And don’t miss the fight because mostly likely, on the undercard it will be the fight of the night.
“It’s a very tough fight, but I won’t be surprised if my guy wins. [Cota is] not an opponent. [Lubin] hasn’t fought anybody. With that in mind, I can tell you that Lubin is in a fight.”
Everyone involved in the promotion seemingly realizes Lubin has been matched with an opponent capable of ruining the 154-pound prodigy’s promising career. Espinoza is among those confident, though, that Lubin can deliver an entertaining performance in the first fight of his three-year career that has been scheduled for 12 rounds.
“If you look at his performances, they’re consistently strong,” said Espinoza, executive vice president and general manager for Showtime Sports. “The other thing that speaks well for him is he’s in a really talent-laden division, so there are a lot of good fights at each level. But to be, at his stage, ranked where he is, at just 21 years of age, it’s really, really promising if he continues his current trajectory.”
All but two of Lubin’s first 17 professional fights were televised, which Espinoza attributes to the star potential many within the boxing industry see in Lubin.
“I think that shows really what programmers and executives have, in terms of confidence, in his performances,” Espinoza said. “So I think he’s got a chance to make a statement. But the reality is he’s facing a guy who’s tougher than anyone he’s ever faced in his career. It’s easy sometimes to get ahead of yourself and say, ‘This is a great opportunity. I have to look good.’ No, you have to win a fight against a guy who’s a dangerous puncher. And then, at that point, he’s a very articulate, likeable, charismatic guy. And he’s got an incredibly strong pedigree, amateur-wise. Really, the sky is the limit for him.”
The winner of the Lubin-Cota fight is expected to become the mandatory challenger for the WBC super welterweight championship.
Houston’s Jermell Charlo (28-0, 13 KOs) is scheduled to make a mandatory defense of that title against Dallas’ Charles Hatley (26-1-1, 18 KOs) sometime in the spring. Charlo and Hatley were supposed to meet March 11 in Oxon Hill, Maryland, but their Showtime co-feature has been postponed because Oscar Escandon’s back injury forced him to delay his shot at WBC world featherweight champ Gary Russell Jr.
Lubin, ranked No. 4 by the WBC, or the seventh-ranked Cota likely will fight the Charlo-Hatley survivor in his next bout. Lubin expects that fight to pit him against Charlo.
“I remember him doing an interview [recently] and saying I’m five, six fights away from fighting him,” Lubin said. “Well, I’m gonna give him an early surprise. He’s gonna get a surprise.”
Lubin won’t turn 22 until October 1, which means he could become one of boxing’s youngest world champions if he can win a world title sometime in the foreseeable future. The cerebral contender knows, though, the he has to concentrate completely on Cota, or risk having his championship dream shattered in front of an enormous national television audience.
“I wanna show them everything,” Lubin said. “I wanna show them I’ve got speed, I’ve got power, I’ve got movement, I’ve got everything. I wanna show them I’ve got the goods.”
