After another impressive performance on Saturday night against the rugged Italian, Leonard Bundu, Keith “One Time” Thurman marches on toward the summit of the iconic Welterweight division, edging ever closer to that tougher test he desires.

A showdown with ‘The Ghost’ would most definitely increase Keith Thurman’s stock and propel him further up the welterweight ladder.

Although Robert Guerrero’s last bout was a fight of the year candidate with Yoshihiro Kamegai, he has found it hard to reignite his career after the demoralizing loss to Floyd Mayweather.

Nonetheless, a victory against a highly rated champion like Thurman would catapult the 31-year-old back into the mix of big names in the division, where a reinvigorated Guerrero would thrive.
