Keith ‘One Time’ Thurman (26-0, 22 KO’s) retained his WBA World welterweight title with an eighth-round TKO victory over former titleholder Luis Collazo (36-7, 19 KO’s). In the first round, Thurman was fighting smart, picking his spots as Collazo, a southpaw, stayed on the outside trying to avoid getting tagged by Thurman’s right hand. Thurman managed to land a right hand when Collazo was shifting on the ropes, wobbling him, and taking a series of left hands. In the second, Collazo was trying to find the range with the jab but was falling short. It wasn’t the most exciting round, but Thurman landed a combination, including a mean right hand that snapped Collazo’s head back. In the third, Thurman was, again, landing hard shots, including a counter left hook that somehow didn’t put Collazo on the canvas. With his face swollen and bloodied, it seemed that Collazo had no hope, no chance in this fight. However, the momentum sure took a swing in the fifth. Collazo landed a nasty left hook to the liver, a shot that knocked out Oscar De La Hoya when he fought Bernard Hopkins in 2004, and Thurman had to hold on for dear life, surviving the scare.
