This is a tough one to call. Thurman without a 3 year layoff plus surgery would be the easy choice. Barrios is essentially coming up 2 weight classes.

Barrios has the frame to carry the weight but will that give him more power? Barrios is also younger and probably hungrier at this point especially coming off a loss.

I don't know if Thurman will be able to deal with Barrios height and reach advantages especially if Thurman is rusty or his timing is off.

Thurman is a winner at heart. I was surprised that he beat Porter and Swift Garcia. The Pacquiao fight was razor close without the knockdown it could've been a draw.

Tough one to call. I'd like to see Thurman win and get a major fight out of it. I don't think Keith ever got his due respect.  But I don't think he has "it" anymore.  I think Barrios will pull the upset.

Thurman has had 2 fights in the last 5 years. One of those was a struggle with Josesito Lopez which should not happen with a prime Thurman. I'll go with Barrios but wouldn't bet my life on it. I want Barrios. If Thurman wins he probably gets cashed out with either Spence or Crawford. That is assuming Spence beats Ugas which isn't a lock.

Agreed. I think it will be a very good fight. A crossroads fight. Both have something to prove.

Any interest in Eubank Vs. Williams? My guess is Eubank will win.

I loved Eubanks old man. A real wierdo but a physical specimen and usually found a way to win. His fights vs. Benn and Watson were legendary. He lost his killer instinct after the Watson fight. Eubank Jr. Is pretty good but mostly a front runner: looks great against domestic competition but so-so against world class fighters.

Tough call but I`ll go out on a limb and pick Eibanks Jr.....don`t ask me why.  ;D

I just watched some pretty lackluster undercard fights on DAZN.....main events coming up now.

Thurman is beginning to tag Barrios.  Barrios having trouble at the higher weight.

Thurman surprisingly sharp. Turning into a no contest.

That is the best Thurman has looked in years. Many years. He gets hurt to the body though almost every fight. To his credit though he sucks it up and comes back hard. Good performance.
