    No hype for Thurman-Garcia?

    Fights less then a week away and it feels like no one even cares for this fight. I think it's an ok fight just because the skill isn't that great but I know a lot of people on this forums loves the WW division. This is a match up of 2 of top 5 in that division and no one's talking about it.

    Rooting for Thurman just because I can't stand Garcia crackhead dad.

    95% of posters on here aren't boxing fans, they're fangirls looking for arguments rather than discussion. So if Golovkin/Ward/Race/Floyd isn't a trending topic, it's all quiet.

    I'm absolutely buzzing for Thurman vs Garcia, counting down the days now. The winner of one goes from star to superstar. Fights like this don't come along often, two undefeated champions in their prime going at it. It doesn't get much better than this.

        Definitely looking forward to this fight...Hoping for a competitive bout, these styles cam also result in a dud if Thurman decides to move against the flat footed Garcia.

          You just haven't been paying attention. The fight has gotten plenty of commercials and discussion on every PBC card prior to it. Most of the boxing fans on NSB are excited as hell and can't wait for the fight.

          There hasn't been a 24/7 but I don't think there needs to be.

          Just because the casual fans and trolls of NSB are not discussing the fight doesn't mean there is no buzz or hype.

            True, I'm busy as *** at work and working 7 days a week now with all this great rain we got here in California. But this is the one thing outside hanging with my family that I'm truly pumped for, especially since it's on CBS(I don't have HBO/showtime) Saturday can't get here quick enough.

            I figure this week would be a buzz.

              I believe they're releasing an All Access episode tomorrow

                Yea I actually meant on this forum because they actually care enough about boxing to go to a forum and discuss it. I think this fight easily clear 3 million viewers just cause of the names.

                On nsb though I think of them as more of hardcore fans and no one's talking about this and I thought people would love this matchup. Only time a thread ever got created on this fight is when Angel does some ****** **** and it gets headline and then talked about. Spence easily gets more thread about him then both Thurman and Garcia.

                  I haven't made many posts on the fight because I have no idea what to expect how the fight will play out.

                    I'm stoked as ****. I can't wait. You're right about the skill set, but that's what's going to make it great.
