    More interested in Regis Prograis vs Devin Haney on DAZN PPV. The number 1 Super-Lightweight against the number 1 Lightweight. First world title fight in the Bay Area for several years.

    Have to disagree with you on that one. I think that will be a snoozefest. Neither of those guys are number ones in there division lol.

    So why are you excited for Keith Thurman then ? Hes had 1 fight since being humbled by a 40 year old Pacquiao in 2019. The last few years Thurman has done more talking than actual fighting and is a part time boxer now.

    Prograis is a very skilled fighter who was in one of the best fights of the last decade vs Josh Taylor and has a very pleasing style overall.

    Way more excited for Haney vs Prograis rather than a prospect fighting a has-been who's a part time boxer.

    "Once Upon a time" Thurman has been so disappointing since 2017. He really threw away his career.

    You took a bite out of your own argument, you said Regis and Haney ain't number one in their division but Keith and Stanionis are? Regis is # 2 or 3 and Haney actually is # 1. Keith I'm not sure is even top 10 anymore and Stanionis is like # 5..............Then both Keith and Stanionis have sidestepped the bigger fight against the actual person that's a hair away from being actual number 1, Boots.

    Plus Regis out of all 4 men is the most aggressive so how would it be a snoozefest? He's definitely quick enough to keep pace with Haney, hell he might be quicker outright.............

    Good show to close the last Showtime broadcast. Thurman fights are usually entertaining.

    Also featured is Danny Garcia vs. Erislandy Lara for the WBA Middleweight Title.

    Nice doubleheader. And you don't have to pay $80 to watch it.

    I've yet to see Devin Haney in a fight nearly as exciting as Erislandy Lara vs. Jarrett Hurd, Erislandy Lara vs. Canelo, Erislandy Lara vs. Alfredo Angulo.

    With Haney it's just jab, jab, hold. Jab, jab, hold. Hold, Jab.

    I'll be watching. Watched the first Showtime card live. I'll watch the last one live.

    Maybe they'll stick the ring in the parking lot for old time's sake, so we can watch the steam come off the fighters' heads.;)

    Great to see Thurman back in action and challenging for a title. Should be a great matchup. This is the last ever Showtime boxing show? Wow.

    Good to see Stanionis getting back in the ring after getting screwed by Golden Boy.

    If this is Showtime’s last outing then I don’t mind this at all. Stanionis vs Thurman sounds like a fun match up. Lara vs Garcia are both way past it but I’m still intrigued by it. Definitely a much better closure compared to HBO.
