With the tale of the tape being a numbers the game, the stats give Robert Guerrero the edge. The 31 year-old Gilroy, CA native stands at 5’8” with a long 70” reach. Keith Thurman, the younger opponent from Clearwater, FL, is not much shorter, standing at 5’7 ½” with a 69” reach.
Thurman’s experience in rounds boxed (93) pales in comparison to Guerrero’s 237 rounds boxed. Not to mention, Guerrero has spent those rounds boxing some of the toughest fighters in the welterweight division including Floyd Mayweather Jr., someone Thurman has aspired to fight for a while now.
Most of the fights in the early days of Thurman’s career ended in the earlier rounds, while lately he’s been experiencing what it takes to go the distance. Guerrero’s resume is certainly longer than Thurman’s; the latter boasts a knockout percentage (84 percent) that is almost twice as high as Guerrero’s 48.65 percent.
In other words, Guerrero may have been around the block a few times, but Thurman should not be underestimated because of his age or experience.
