Trainer Angel Garcia says WBA Super World welterweight champion Keith ‘One Time’ Thurman will be fighting former junior middleweight world title challenger Josesito Lopez next when he makes his comeback. Angel, who is the father/trainer of former two division world champion Danny Garcia, says Thurman will never be the same fighter he once was after he suffered an elbow injury I his close 12 round split decision victory over Danny last year on March 4.
Angel wants Thurman to be stripped of his WBA title so that the title is freed up for Danny Garcia to go after. However, Garcia will be lucky if he beats Shawn Porter.
Angel believes that not only is 34-year-old Josesito Lopez (36-7, 19 KOs) going to be Thurman’s opponent for his next fight, but he’s also going to beat him. For Lopez to beat even a one-armed Thurman, he’s going to need to raise his game considerably from what we’ve seen from him in the last three years. ‘The Riverside Rocky’ Lopez looked poor in his last four fights against Miguel Cruz, Saul Corral, Todd Manuel and Andre Berto. Lopez was stopped in the 6th round by Berto on March 13, 2015. The fight earned Berto a big payday match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in September 2015. For all intents and purposes, Berto is the last serious fight of Mayweather’s career. Mayweather fought last year in beating novice fighter Conor McGregor by a 10th round in Las Vegas, Nevada. McGregor, a former UFC star, was making his pro debut in the boxing ring.
