    Anyone else looking forward to this as much as I am ?

    Can't be anything other than an absolute war!

    I think Thurman stops him after 7 or 8 entertaining rounds :bbb

    Keith Thurman is my favorite Welter, he has to win by KO nothing less or he will be robbed, because he is an immediate threat to Broner & by effect people who need the $...coming in that direction

    What does Thurman think of Broner ? Has he said he wants that fight ?

    YDKSAB (the "B" is for business in this case not boxing)

    Ok, so you have two guys one is an up and coming welterweight with an undefeated record. The other well... has a less than stellar record and is a much harder to sell. He played the "opponent" role a little to well in his last match, so he will be rewarded with this match. Broner and Thurman have the same manager, why would Al Haymon want his own fighter to be robbed? The logic is simply not there, Thurman is much more profitable than Soto Karass. If both Broner and Thurman win tonight, Haymon can get both a few more matches and build up to a potential showdown between the two, feed one to the other and the winner gets a superfight.

    Please educate yourself a little bit more about boxing politics before you open your mouth again. These politics wouldn't be as likely to exist if everyone was wise enough to see what was going on. Thanks :)

    Keith Thurman will beat Soto-Karass like he's his daddy.

    He'd also beat the **** outta the little turtle Broner but Maidana is gonna make AB his ***** before Thurman can get there. :deal

    Thurman should win by stoppage but Jesus works in mysterious ways sometimes.

    If Thurman wins, It ruins the big plans they have for Broner & Mayweather

    Paul Spadafora was also undefeated with a sparring session to easily market the fight

    Thurman is a strong contender, meaning a reat risk...that's why Khan and else are preferred

    Thurman better come to KTFO otherwise he will be robbed

    He is not mentioned in Mayweather future plans, that's a good warning sign...

    Thurman is not a sellout
    That's why I hope he focuses on KOs, cause they will try to have an excuse to avoid him

    Broner will easily do as told, that's why he is favored... Plus Broner is weaker than Mayweather , so Mayweather easily beats Broner regardless

    They are frustrated, because he refused to move out of his division

    His opinion of Broner is clear, Creatine/PED Welter

    thurman might go fan friendly for us an choose to go at it with soto-karass like maidana did. i think he should just box all night and pounce on him when he catches him good and hope u can get him out like that. i would go looking for it against a guy like karass. just use your speed and power to box u got the strength to keep him off u all night.

    with thurmans athleticism alone he can beat karass. thurman can take the mike jones rematch approach but thurman is much stronger and he will prolly b able to rock 3 times or so in the fight if he boxes for the most part

    Absolutely. Karass has upset his last 2 opponents and he could make a strong case for beating Mike Jones the first time around. Should be a great fight.

    A permanent move to 154 makes no sense for him. He has no problems making 147 and can always make the move later. He's 25, FFS.
