    Im starting to think they will just make Thurman vs Matthysse

    Was meant to be a triple header, Matthysse could do with a tune up but Thrman needs a legit opponent, with only a week to go what top 10 WW can Thurman fight

    It´s not a wise business move. They have two potential stars with solid followings in two different weight classes. No need to match them up.

    There was talk of John Molina facing Matthysse.
    Thurman could face: Robert Guerrero, Jo Jo Dan, Cintron. There are more options but less known in the states. They will definitely go for an action fighter.

    Thurman vs Julio Diaz and Matthysse vs John Molina is what I have heard.

    True, think Guerrero wants a big name he wont fight Thurman, Jo Jo Dan and Cintron shouldnt even be in Thurman's radar, they probably want him to get a KO win to boost him up

    Jo Jo, if i am not mistaken, just called Thurman out. I figure it will be him and it would be a good fight.

    Most likely a dish washer at the local Taco House. Maybe a fire fighter, or part-time cop:thumbsup

    Thurman v Matthysse would be great but...it seems strange to matchup two guys that they are seemingly so high on, when the loser would instantly become irrelevant. To those of you who bring up Garcia/Matthysse, I honestly don't think Golden Boy was ever as high on Garcia as they are currently on Thurman or were on Matthysse after the Peterson fight.

    Who are Abregu, Cano, and Vargas tied to? Vargas should of stayed with Gbp last I knew he switched with Top Rank, but not sure. Cano with Beltran? Abregu-Thurman would be very good matchup.

    Abregu has a fight lined up. Cano just lost an upset TKO and Vargas is fighting Khabib

    I read that Matthysse and Thurman will be on the same card, but will not be fighting each other....................
