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

[BronxPride67]

Definitely not worthy of a title fight

Every fight gotta be for some fake azz title?

This is...not a good style matchup. At all.

Ugas is not an aggressor and neither is Keef.

This is expected to be a stinker that goes the full 12.

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.

1. It doesn’t matter what you want.

2. Boots is not signed with PBC and never was. Haymon can’t control what Boots nor his team does.

3. No one is asking you to. They have plenty of grateful fans that will do that.

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

Yes, I should have definitely mentioned Showtime. TopRank and ESPN not doing too bad either. Good year of boxing.

Nice scrap indeed...but, interim belt on the line? Shouldn't be.

That's a great fight. Shame they couldn't get it on the Spence-Crawford undercard like it would have been back in the day.

Thurman is ranked #1, Ugas ranked #3.

And it's unlikely Spence fights the winner.

Interim belt is appropriate.... winner will get upgraded to champ.

I’m hoping you will be wrong but I suspect you will be right on this fight. Good post.

What do mean non-aggressor, he robots forward all night which is what he will do with Thurman and Keith will use angles and boxing.
