This is a pretty good action packed card. Surprised ppl are panning it.
i agree. At least it has potential to be action packed. I think who they pick for Gary Russell could put this card over the top because you hardly EVER see a card with 3 good fights (in fact I can't think of the last time I've seen it).
But i think there is already a good chance for 2 with the co feature but russells fight is unlikely
This would be a pretty big win for Chaves, but I don't think he has the length or speed to keep up with Thurman. He might turn out to be a Saldivia and not a Matthysse in terms of his chin/punch resistance too.
I'm really rooting for Soto-Karass in this one. He had a pretty impressive outing against Aydin, and Berto, while much more physically gifted, is a similar fighter that Soto is capable of beating.
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer has advised BoxingScene.com that a Showtime televised tripleheader is taking shape for the month of July. The card will take place on July 20th or July 27th - with Florida, New York and California in the running to host the card.
In the main event, former IBF/WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto (28-2, 22 KOs) will face Mexico's Jesus Soto-Karass (27-8-3, 17 KOs). Undefeated Keith Thurman will get the stiffest test of his career in the co-feature, when he faces interim-WBA welterweight champion Diego Chaves (22-0, 18 KOs). Rounding out the tripleheader is rising featherweight contender Gary Russell Jr. (22-0, 13KOs), who faces an opponent to be determined.
if Berto doesn't win.....he's OFFICIALLY a bum....and when I start calling him that after Karass puts hands on him....don't say I'm buggin!!....this is a "gimme" for him...something he's used to in his career...he's soft!!
Russell need to start trying to get his feet wet and go shark hunting....dude still floating in a pond on a boat trying to catch small fish...gtfoh...step ya game up my dude....I'm trying to rock with you but you making it hard to
One Time always active....thats wassup..."You BETTER not duck me son!!!"
The Russell whining is over the top in this thread. This is a solid card regardless who Russell fights.
I think its justified tbh....its time for dude to step it up a bit bro...he got skills that seems above average....ppl just wanna see those skills tested...TBA aint gonna test them...thats for sure
