Comments Thread For: Thurman Not Expected to Fight Vargas in May 19 Return to Ring

That Thurman vs Malignaggi fight we've all been waiting years for is finally gonna happen.

That is partly true. Maybe Vargas has lost his main event status and is now relegated to co feature status. Thurman-TBA and Stevenson-Jack are the same tv card and different venues. Thats an expensive card that likely won't have a televised undercard besides those two fights

Means one will be on Showtime and the other (Keith) on CBS.

He's coming off surgery.

It's fine if he fights a tune up in his first fight back.

I hear Rod Salka is eagerly sitting by his phone in anticipation

Just watched his fight hype interview. He's lost his mind. Not watching any fight he's in until he fights Spence. I have no interest in watching a Garcia or Porter rematch. All three of them need to get served up asap.

You don't want it with Vargas? Lol sad stuff. He's about to try and rematch Collazo or get Berto.

Thurman has made me a fan to a non-fan quicker than anyone since Ward. Its like these guys are trying to f#ck up their trajectory & high water mark in the game.

At the pace he's going once Thurman loses his title I'll give no f#cks about what he does & I can't say I give much of a f#ck now outside of him fighting & losing to Spence so he'll be out of the way of stopping the big fight in the division. And maybe most importantly so he'll be out of play for future potential big fights vs Crawford or others who come along as he'll be saying nah can't fight Bud in 2020 if he were to beat Spence in 2019 I bet.

F#cking flute playing mfer!

Excellent post lol haha haha He is making it hard to pull for him. Hekk even if he did agree to fight Spence he'll probably get hurt in camp leading up to the fight and prolong the fight again anyway!! Lol

no it doesn't. Have you read the articles? These are all Showtime cards. Having split sites isn't a new concept. Happens quite frequently

Thurman will probably fight Jamal James or Ray Robinson.... maybe Konstantin

This isn't HBO. They have one this weekend, just 2 fights.
PBC has one next month. 2 fights on Fox and 2 more on SHO. And even if it's not CBS they'll have 2 a piece from Brooklyn than Canada.

Vargas is a tune up. What are you talking about? And even then Thurman won't face a tune up smfh!!! Vargas won 1 more rounds than you and I did vs Pacquiao and Bradley. He won won 1 round combined in two fights vs faded versions of both men

vargas would not lay over for anyone. hes more than just a simple tune up is what im trying to say.
