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

[Alpha]

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?

[TitoFan]

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.

[Spicoli]

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.
