\"Keith<\/a>“Oh please, Keith Thurman will drop Floyd Mayweather, JR., in two rounds.”–Buddy Ruffin, JR., (President of Men with Uni-brows for Keith Thurman, Coffeyville, KS \u00a0– 979,314 members and growing daily)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Undefeated WBA \u201cregular\u201d welterweight champion Keith \u201cOne Time\u201d Thurman (25-0, 21 KOs) defends his belt against former world champion Luis Collazo on July 11 in the inaugural Premier Boxing Champions on ESPN event at the USF Sun Dome in Tampa, Florida. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to July 11 in Tampa Bay, Florida defending my world title in my hometown,\u201d said Thurman earlier this week. \u201cMe and my whole team are truly excited. We respect Luis Collazo and we\u2019re looking forward to having a great performance and challenge on July 11.<\/p>\n

With his exciting style and engaging personality, and fighting in one of boxing\u2019s most popular divisions, Thurman seems to have all the ingredients to being a major star in boxing. \u201cRight now I believe I\u2019m one of the most talked about welterweights currently in the division,\u201d says Thurman. \u201cThe fans are loving my excitement and they loved the last showdown with Robert Guerrero on the opener for NBC. Now we\u2019re opening ESPN and it\u2019s another blessing it\u2019s a pleasure. I believe Al (Haymon) is recognizing my hard work and dedication to the sport and we\u2019re just going to try to keep moving forward man and hopefully just live up to the hype.\u201d<\/p>\n

After going the distance in his last two fights, Thurman doesn\u2019t believe his reputation as a \u201cknockout artist\u201d has diminished. \u201cAt the end of the day I still hold one of the highest knockout ratios in the welterweight division,\u201d stated Thurman. \u201cAt this level, no fighter is coming to get knocked out, they know what they\u2019re up against and they know they\u2019re up against dangerous fighters. The number one rule in boxing is protect yourself at all times and they\u2019re aware of that. They\u2019re trying to box hard, they\u2019re trying to be crafty and outdo me but you can watch both fights and there was still a knockdown in both fights.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bundu fight happened in the first round the Guerrero happened in the ninth round. So the punching power is there from the beginning to the end. We want the knockouts, for the fans and for the publicity that lives up to the name \u201cOne Time\u201d. But at the end of the day we still just want to be a champion and we\u2019ll do whatever it takes to stay champion.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
