Like Thurman 28-0-1, 22 KOs) said he has years in the boxing game and it’s going to be hard to take away the welterweight title from him.

Thurman, 28, has just taken one giant step forward on Saturday night surviving a scare in order to unify two of the four welterweight titles. Danny Garcia was hurt early on in the fight and couldn’t keep up with Thurman’s speed and boxing ability late to unify the 147-pound world titles in a battle of unbeaten stars.

It was Thurman’s insistence on disengaging and circling away from Garcia late in the bout left the door open on the scorecards for a split decision.

Two judges scored it 116-112 and 115-113 for Thurman. The third had it 115-113 for Garcia (33-1, 19 KOs), who appeared to steal the final two rounds based upon activity alone after being outclassed for much of the fight. CBS Sports scored it 116-112 for Thurman.

Angel Garcia, trainer and father of Danny Garcia weighed in saying:

“Keith ran half the fight; boxing is about hitting, not running. Danny tried to be the aggressor, but Keith was just moving so much.”

Thurman stats that “Danny Garcia did not pass the Keith Thurman test.” He loves boxing, this is day job, but he revealed that Garcia flat footedness was why he was able to dance around him and land more punches. He feels that Danny is a great fighter, but he Keith Thurman proved that he is extremely calculated as a boxer. He was able to read Garcia’s technique.

Danny Garcia, 28, said:

“I came up short tonight. [Garcia] thought I was the aggressor. I thought I pushed the pace, but it didn’t go my way. t is what it is. I can’t cry over anything. I’ll come back strong like a true champion. [Danny] would love to have a rematch to get my titles back.”

Dan Birmingham, Thurman’s trainer said:

“We knew we had the fight won in the later rounds. [Thurman’s trainer] didn’t want to take any chances. Keith was scoring but he was backing up, sticking and moving. He knew that Danny could hit, and he’s a great fighter.”

After the fight was over, Garcia initially thought he had won and began to celebrate, while Thurman remained calm and cool. Then, ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr. read his name as the winner of the split-decision in the 10th unification title as Keith Thurman. Garcia was devastated!
