Damnt, was hoping for maidana to be on that canelo/ortiz undercard vs someone decent. I guess they want a soft touch coming back down to 140 and to see where hes at w/ garcia

I take it this will be at welter?

This could be an entertaining fight... a warrior against a very good prospect, both heavy handed. Thurman is quicker, Maidana has much more experience. Thurman can score a big upset IMHO

I thought maidana was going back down to 140? but I looked thurman up on boxrec and hes a 5'11 welter 17-0 with 16 KO's...hes never fought past 8 rounds though. I guess its at welterweight then.

I thought so too, at least I was hoping he would go back down to 140 & maybe target the likes of the Soto vs Matthysse winner.
I think Thurman has fought at 154, he is pretty big but his chin is certainly suspect which is never a good thing against a guy like Maidana.

After all that **** he was talking Maidana is staying at 147? Or Garcia can't help him make weight either?

Yea haha.

It was more of a shot at Garcia than Maidana but Rios always been a fat ass. I guess his bad influence might be rubbing off on Maidana.
