Tony Harrison-Willie Nelson on the undercard Given the lack of WW options this summer I think it's just good to see someone like Thurman staying busy. If Thurman gets the KO then he'll make a statement. Otherwise it's just a stay busy fight but I dont think "lazy" main events like this are gonna help PBC reach the level they want.. Also takes him out of the Floyd September equation..
This fight is for Thurman to gain experience against different opposition. He's still young. Now if he still getting fights like this at the age of 33. Then theirs definitely a problem.
How does he fight Brook or Khan when both have fights scheduled and both are going to be on Mayweather's nuts waiting for a fight. I'm sure Haymon knows Mayweather isn't fighting Keith so he needs a fight to stay busy. Danny Garcia would have been a more intriguing fight but Garcia would probably angle for 144.5 or something stupid..
