Guerrero seems like he's getting outclassed JUUUUST barely on most of the exchanges, but that barely is enough to open him up to those really big hits.

And now he's firing back! Exciting stuff!

Would really love to see the ghost pull out the spectacular upset. Nothing against Thurman of I really like Guerrero in spite but being a big time bible thumper, and it would make a great story for the division.

I look forward to this match going to round 12 only to be called in favor of the dark horse fighter, the lump on Thurman's head that grew so big it was able to grow arms and punch him as well.

Man, Thruman's getting in those meaty rights. Guerrero's doing great countering and poo poo but when Thurman hits it's rough most times.

So as of right now, if Thurman can't go, it goes to the cards (which probably have Thurman ahead)? That's interesting. Would suck for the other dude, but he shouldn't have headbutted him.

"They call him Run Time Thurman because in the last fight that's exactly what he did"

thanks, commentator, I didn't pick up on what run time could mean in boxing, with a 5 of 12 rounds sign right in the screen.

Well given boxing this isn't always true. Although they're just as likely to get a two minute round as they are a two minute break between rounds, so it has that going for it.

4-1 Thurman. Guerrero is losing on the outside, he needs to do more of what he was doing in the last minute of round 5: grab Thurman and rough him up on the inside.

I really like Guerrero's style but he needs to stop letting Thurman get those big hits around him, that poo poo's gonna break him down faster than his conservative stuff will break Thurman.

Starting to get that head snap. Probably just a standing referee intervention without a knockdown.
