Prefer this to Ugas-Barrios at least.

Great fight. I still want to see Thurman vs Spence in future

[Bronx2245]

I'm good, since Thurman already beat Barrios! They should put Barrios vs. Crowley on the same card!

Good fight, I think Ugas wins, but why is an interim title required?

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

I reckon Thurman ducks this. He just wants a cashout fight and this isn’t that.

Really good fight, looking forward to it. If Keith wins, he'll probably push for Boots or Vergil next or sit for the next year or two, who knows

[NC Uppercut]

Glad to see both Keith and Ugas still standing! Hopefully they make a comeback. Preferably Keef!

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.
