    Just had a close (at least in the eyes of everyone but the judges) win over Molina at welterweight. What weightclass should he shoot for and what fights should he go after. Seems to me welterweight is far too big for him, hopefully this is a big enough scare to make him rededicate himself to the sport.

    He should fight at 140 and push PBC to cross the street for fights with Ramirez and Prograis...both fun fights that fans should love.

    Don't think we'll ever see him at 140 again, honestly.

    He was driving a badazz black Mercedes and I understand that he owns more than one nightclub in downtown McAllen (Texas). I don't think fighting is his priority any more.

    Omar is slow as hell now and frankly looks shot to hell... I think that AB stops him.

    I had Omar winning clearly. he landed nearly 100 more punches than John Molina and I felt for most rounds also the better punches. But, Omar didn't impress it gets harder than John Molina and fast. Some one is going to take advantage of how hard he is to hit and avoid his shots.

    He’s been off so long. I think it’s fair to see his progress over the next fight or two. Same as thurman.
    Neither guy beats a top 3-5 welter right now.

    Hopefully legitimately lose his 0 next time, like he should have last night. Quite frankly he should rematch Molina.

    Here's a crazy thought. Figueroa vs Matthysse at 147. Why not?

    fig vs broner at 147 there is some unfinished business there. if pacman vs thurman fight doesnt come off then give thurman one more tune up vs fig before he fights pacman or spence vs mikey winner.
