    I don't think anybody is top 5 p4p at 147. Or even top 10 p4p.

    I'm going to be pissed if they rob me of seeing Fonfara-Dawson, I'm actually pumped for that match. Cota will give Lubin the toughest test of his career, I wouldn't rule out a win for El Demonio, Cota will come in guns blazing, he may catch Lubin early and cold and put him down.

    I don't see any scenario in which Garcia can beat Thurman, I don't consider this remotely 50/50, Thurman is just too skilled and better in every department, if he plays it safe he UD's Danny 12-0, if he goes to war, Danny will have a slight chance, but Danny isn't one to go to war either, so I doubt that'll happen.

    How do we know who the best at the current point then? Same with Pacquiao we have really no idea how good he is at Weltweight anymore. Because the last time we saw him fight a prime, natural, legit top 3 Welterweight was in 2009.

    Mayweather was considered the best 147 pounder in the world. And I'm fine with that. But beating Spence, Thurman and Brook would have solidified that claim.

    Get ready to be pissed. Unless we literally see Cota get KO1ed (or KO2ed) by Lubin you are not going to see Fonfara vs. Dawson get televised. Of course, as you say Demonio is a game and wily SOB and could be looking to surprise an overconfident Erickson with early aggression. If he gets the upset kayo and is quick about it, he could do us the favor of helping usher Polish Prince and Bad Chad onto your screen...but then, it still won't be live and there will be a chance you've already had the result spoiled.

    I strongly favor Thurman as well. If he gave Swift a free blast on the chin a'la Campbell vs. Paden or something then maybe; otherwise Garcia telegraphs way too much to catch him that clean with anything sufficiently full-force to, well, give Keith a taste of his own vaunted "1 Time" medicine.

    Who's to say that even if Lubin-Cota does end in 1 we don't end up getting force fed the Heather Hardy match instead, and if that happens, I'll be practically radioactive.

    Because they've said (per Fat Dan) that in the event of the co-feature ending in a hurry we are going to see Fonfara vs. Dawson on delay. They are taping it for just such a contingency. I've read nothing to suggest they are recording the ladies as well.

    Whew, good, I must've zoned on that detail in the OP. Although it wouldn't be the first time Fat Dan has been wrong.

    Thurman is going to box passive and safety first on the backfoot like he done against Bundoo. Don't know how Garcia will over come that but im going with him anyway.
    He knows how to set people up and over all is a very underrated boxer.

    True but this isn't him speculating on a possible fight getting signed. More of just him passing on some routine production details as he receives them in accordance with his stature in the industry (with the implicit understanding on the part of the event organizers that passing said information to him means in turn it will be passed onto the public)

    I'm honestly not sure Garcia is much better than Bundu.

    Win or lose he's going to earn a lot of respect Saturday night. Thurman may stink out the joint in order to get the win. Im thinking Danny softens him up to the body and draws him into a fight which will favour the superior , crispier counter puncher.

    Anther possibility is Thurman getting robbed for boxing too negative.
