Before or after the fight?

I thought the WBA was doing away with interim champions? Now they're promoting a title fight that they've acknowledged isn't a title?I always thought the WBA belt looked the coolest.It looks less cool everyday.

Winner of this vs Winner of Thurman-Garcia would be good.

Peterson brothers wack fight every two years how do they expect to climb. After Peterson beat Garcia but got robbed like Herrera he should have fought regularly took advantage of fans knowing he won and he would have gotten another shot against one of the champs instead disappears and tests positive for peds before or after fight wasting his career

I liked Peterson a lot after he schooled Garcia, sad how much time he wasted, fighting only once since then and getting a gift decision at that.

Likely what will happen. Thurman would of had to of dealt with Avanesyan if he had'nt went after a unification fight with Danny.

Damn good card. Top to bottom.

Glad Peterson is back. However he better win this one or he will become the next gatekeeper of the division

Hopefully the 16 month layoff doesn't affect him too much. Good thing he's fighting Avanesyan.
