Thurman’s last fight was in July 2019 against Manny Pacquiao after which he went through surgery, but he is completely healthy and raring to challenge for the title. Meanwhile, Barrios played his last game against Gervonta in June 2021 via TKO and lost his title.
The long career experience of Thurman and emotional burden on Barrios can be the deciding factor and hence Thurman can be considered the favourite to win the match.
