Berto vs. Soto-Karass, Thurman vs. Chaves & Gary Russell Jr. Triple in July

Berto-Soto Karass, Thurman-Chaves, Russell Tripleheader - Boxing News

Not a bad card, but I think that it'd be better if Berto & Thurman were fighting. I think maybe they're doing this to set up a future fight between them.

Thurman fights Diego Chaves who is Interim WBA Welterweight Champion. Chaves was close to getting the Malignaggi fight before Broner stepped up. I assume they're giving Berto the Soto-Karass fight as he's been inactive and it'll give him an opportunity to shake off the rust. Gary Russell Jr.'s opponent has yet to be announced.

They're putting this shit on Showtime? Berto and Soto Karass is a main event? Fuck me backwards.

Didn't the wba just say it was doing away with interim championships??? On paper Berto and Soto Karass isn't a bad clash, and I wouldn't be so quick to count out Karass as Berto was literally beaten up and down in mauling fashion last time out.

Damn Sir! If we were all as particular as you are, this fine morning, we would only watch half the fights out there, and probably never get laid.
I have high hopes everytime I watch a fight or meet an eligible woman.
You never know when that fight of the year might show or you might get lucky.

My uncles told me, 'You can't hit 'em if you don't swing.'
