    Don't Like this fight neither but fact remains

    Malinaggi (said he does not bring money) Maidana (pulled out because of injury I believe) & Guerrero (did not want to sign on) was not able to materalize. Then Porter, Khan, Collazo and Broner are all booked Mayweather is not going to fight him because it does not make business sense and we all know Bradley Pacman Rios etc are with Top Rank

    The leaves who

    Brook (he is probably waiting the mandatory of Brook/Paulie)
    Garcia (who wants to move up to 147 but I can see his first fight being Keith)
    Mattysse (would love the fight but I dont think Lucas mentioned moving up to 147)

    So where does this leaves Thurman?

    Now that Guerrero is with Al Haymon, he's likely to fight Thurman towards the end of this year or the beginning of next year.

    It's also very likely that Thurman is going to get locked out of the welterweight division altogether and find himself forcibly in the mix at 154 against Trout, Molina, Smith, K9, Kirkland, Vanes (does Goosen work with GBP?), and Lara. It's not a bad division to make a name.

    Aside from Guerrero or retreads like Berto and Collazo, I can't see very many other options for Thurman at 147.

    its not a good fight . us fans dont wanna see this . we know keith is gunna hurt this guy. prolly knock his ass out with a left hook like kendall holt did.

    but ill give keith the benefit of the doubt that the only reason this fight got made is because everyone is not interested in fighting him.

    but after this fight an after fights like porter/paulie and maidana/mayweather unfold .. and we will see wut danny garcias next move is..

    guys like lamont peterson potentially moving up in weight im sure his next fight will be meaninful ... and also collazo/khan winner can match up with thurman... but as of right now i guess there isnt **** out there. too bad they just dont match him up wit kell brook but i have a feeling the winner of paulie/porter will fight brook.

    Thurman will smash Diaz around the ring, I don't expect the fight to make it to the second half.

    Thsi is actually a solid opponent. Yeah he shopworn but he still has good ring IQ and though eh lost to Khan officially, he actually had some good moments in the fights. His boxing ability and experience could be a good challenge to Oen Time.

    Geez let the fighters earn their way up and fight different type of styles to be better all around fightes instead of tryng to ordain someone the next superstar.
