Garcia vs Porter on Sept 8 for the vacant WBC welterweight belt

https://www.boxingnews24.com/2018/07...r-september-8/

Good fight, but I’m really hoping that they man up and the winner fight Spence or Crawford.

Yea it is a good match up between 2 to contenders. Hard one to pick for me. I'm thinking Danny G takes a close one with t he slightly cleaner work. This should be a fun fight.

Thurman to fight the winner I assume.

If Thurman ever returns, that would be the logical fight to make.

And then Thurman will do another elective surgery for an “injury”. Another surgery with a 6 week recovery that will take over a year.

I really hope the winner doesn’t fight Thurman. When is Thurman coming back anyway?

Apparently he just started training again. I would imagine it'll still be a few months before we see him in the ring again.

I'm not sure if Thurman's heart and hunger are still fully in the game. Sure he'll return for a tune up, then probably a cash out fight with the biggest money he can get.

Imagine being Thurman sitting there having your corns filed and nails painted watching your two biggest wins now fight for the belt you walked away from. Still..no return date. I think something bigger is going on with him but cannot put my finger on it. I've come around on Garcia a bit. Porter will do his physical bulldozer Billy goat impression but Garcia with the crisper cleaner work and hope he lets his hands go.

Thurman just got married, had a bit of money behind him and had a bit of a taste of the high life. Hard to go train for 3-4 months, risk your life, when you can have things relatively easy.

It is blatantly obvious that Thurman wanted no part of Spence. I have no idea what he will do, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes a time up then loses a close decision to the winner of the Garcia and Porter fight then retire. He doesn’t want to get embarrassed by Spence or Crawford.

I tried telling Master that like 3 years ago. Some day he'll start to listen.

Thurman was otherwise engaged beating better and bigger fighters at the time. :)

Pray tell which fighters better and bigger than Spence he has beaten.
