i'm inclined to believe that the PBC premiere on ESPN on July 11th (fighters haven't been announced yet) will feature Keith Thurman in the main event at this point. Am i right?

That's what we need:obama:


I put my 3 of my FB friends onto 5 fights yesterday when they were talking about the Canelo fight on my timeline. I told em if they liked Canelo vs Kirkland, then watch Lucas Matthysse vs John Molina Jr, Omar Figueroa vs Nihito Arakawa, Timothy Bradley vs Ruslan Provodnikov, Victor Ortiz vs Andre Berto, and Orlando Salido vs Terdsak Kokietgym:banderas:


Needless to say, they got off that "Boxing is dead" kick and is waiting for GGG vs Monroe on Saturday:blessed:

That's why you need to watch all the fights and not just 2 fights a year

It's his first title defense, what did you expect? Besides, other than about three fighters at HW they're all bums.

A legit opponent who is ranked in the Top 10 of the WBC, has more than 3 scheduled 12 rounders on his resume over 25 fights, and hasnt lost both his fights by 1st round KO:manny:



Champions should never fight someone outside of the Top 10 when defending their belts

There about six legit opponents in that division. He's getting a homecoming soft touch in his first defense.

Julio Cesar Chavez fought some 13-1 chump in his native Mexico after he won the crown. If he takes on a chump on his next bout then there's an issue but I'm not stressing this gimme.
