🥊 FIGHT DESCRIPTION:
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK — Keith “One Time” Thurman (28-0-1, 22 KOs) earned a split-decision victory over Danny Garcia (33-1, 19 KOs) in a high-stakes welterweight title unification bout. The judges scored the fight 116-112, 115-113, and 113-115, giving Thurman the win and adding Garcia’s WBC title to his own WBA belt.
While not a slugfest, the matchup showcased two undefeated elite fighters at the top of their game — a chess match between skill, speed, and ring IQ rather than raw brawling.
The event aired live on CBS primetime from Barclays Center, making it one of the few major network boxing broadcasts in recent years. Many fans hoped for explosive exchanges, but Thurman chose to prioritize precision and smart movement over taking risks.
In the early rounds, both men traded sharp counters and tested each other’s timing. But as the fight progressed — particularly after the fourth round — Thurman began to use his footwork to control distance, circling and making Garcia miss while landing clean, single shots.
Garcia tried to close the gap with body work and pressure, yet Thurman’s mobility and defense proved effective. Though some spectators felt Thurman coasted in the later rounds, his early lead and cleaner punches secured him the win.
With this victory, Keith Thurman unified the WBA and WBC welterweight titles, solidifying his place among boxing’s elite and keeping his unbeaten record intact.
