Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman-Yordenis Ugas Interim Title Fight In Play For Mid-To-Late August

[wrecksracer]

PBC and Al Haymon continue to kill the competition. Mainstream wouldn’t even be talking about boxing if it weren’t for PBC

I'd rather see Boots get an opportunity instead of Thurman. Isn't it Haymon keeping Boots out of the picture? I really don't think Ugas or Thurman should be gifted a belt or mandatory shot based on their recent history. PBC is just recycling belts between their fighters. I know....it's a business. This fight isn't killing it. It's playing keep away. PBC should be congratulated on some of their recent fights. They can close the year strong, too. I'm just not going to pat them on the back for making a fight like Ugas vs Thurman. Or Canelo vs. Jermell.

Talk about an uninspiring fight

They've been doing great this year, but give Showtime some credit. They are the ones putting up the MONEY.

Well said! Keith's last fight was more than a year ago and the same for Ugas. On top of that, Ugas lost his last fight. I like the fight but, neither one deserves an interim title.

I like this fight mayne.

Thurman's hairline is going to wind up at the far back of his scull in no time, lol!

[Casual Riot]

WBC agree to their champion Spence having an undisputed title fight but then also agree to an interim title. No need for the fake belt, if it’s a final eliminator just make it that.

Regardless of the belt situation, this is a decent fight.

[TyrantT316]

Great fight!

Thurman sits out too long, not good for any fighter(Charlo)- Ugas gets the win, although i do like "One Time" I think its time to sit out permanently
