Keith "One Time" Thurman made a statement in his comeback fight, securing a third-round stoppage against Brock Jarvis and proving he still has plenty left in the tank. After a long layoff, Thurman reminded fans why he's one of the most dangerous fighters in the welterweight and junior middleweight divisions.

A Slow Start but a Strong Finish

The fight didn't start in Thurman’s favor. Jarvis came out aggressive, pushing forward and attacking the body while Thurman worked to find his rhythm. It was clear that Keith was shaking off some rust from his time away from the ring, and he arguably lost the first round. However, by the second round, he started to adjust, using movement and his signature boxing skills to counter Jarvis’ pressure.

The Turning Point

In the third round, Thurman switched gears. He began targeting the body with stiff jabs, breaking down Jarvis' forward momentum. Then came the shot that changed everything—a powerful hook to the body that visibly hurt Jarvis, forcing him to retreat. Sensing the moment, Thurman pressed forward, landing a big right hand that stunned Jarvis.

With Jarvis backing up into a defensive high guard, Thurman unleashed another body shot followed by a four-punch combination, sending Jarvis to the canvas. Though Jarvis got up, he was clearly hurt. Thurman wasted no time, landing another sharp three-punch combo, scoring a second knockdown and forcing the referee to stop the fight.

What’s Next for Thurman?

After the fight, Thurman expressed interest in a showdown with Tim Tszyu, a fight that would be another significant test. Even though Tszyu is coming off two losses, he remains a dangerous contender at 154 pounds.

If the Tszyu fight doesn’t happen, there are still plenty of options for Thurman. A long-awaited bout against Errol Spence Jr. could be back on the table, or a fight against Bakhram Murtazaliev could be interesting as well.

No matter which path he chooses, one thing is clear—Keith Thurman is back, and he’s ready for big fights.
