However, that was during Thurman's time, haven't been injured and still undefeated. He did make a comeback against a ballooned 140 lbs in Barrios and fought at 147 lbs. So Ugas might posed a different challenge if ever this two square in the ring and it could go to distance.
It is very possible that the fight between Thurman and Ugas will go a distance. Ugas is somehow a defensive fighter so it would be a challenge for Thurman to crack Ugas' defense. This will be an interesting fight between a boxer that defeated Manny and a Boxer that is defeated by Manny.
Even though Thurman is defeated by Manny, it looks like he will be the crowd favorite between the two.
Style makes a fight when there are two fighters facing each other the outcome will always be on the style of fighting, Thurman loves to attack Ugas is more on counterpunch, the possibility of the fight going the distance between these two is very likely and knock out could go either way, with Thurman finds an opening when he attacks Ugas or Ugas caught him with a big punch upon countering, it takes two to tango to produce a knockout, and it will go down to who's style implement a good plan and of course power will play a factor on this match.
