Come on Garcia, do the right thing and sign for the fight.

Good move.

This can really work in Keith's favor actually - if he wins. He'd still be the A-side once they unify. Both are big fights. Both are for big money. He's proven he can beat both. Them two fighting each other makes the unification that much bigger. Plus, it's the least they can do - fighting other top opposition. No more fighting fringe top 10 fighters without being injured or coming off of a bad loss.

But, if Thurman comes back, fights the winner, and loses, it will look extremely bad for him. It'd make his wins over both seem like a fluke and that he was pretty much trying to avoid them in the first place.

There was nothing stopping these guys from fighting each other but instead both were trying to take easy fights hoping Thurman picked 1 of them for his rematch. Now Thurman giving up the belt maybe the WBC can force them to fight each other. I'll wait till the fight is actually made before I get too excited. The real winner is Thurman by giving up the belt likely gets some fans off his back and forces these 2 guys to beat the shyt out of each other while he fights a bum and then fights the winner (who has more wear and tear) later this year.

The WBC needs to order and ENFORCE this matchup between Porter and Garcia. If they can't reach a deal, both get dropped out of the top WBC rankings. Very simple way to incentivize this fight.

Lets get it. Going with Garcia. I hope to not see football Porter again after this. No excuses to duck Spence after this either.

What about the WBA title?

Porter and Garcia of course will have to fight tune-ups on the same card to let their fight marinate, even though we've been asking for them to fight each other for a couple of years already.
