    Andre Berto (28-2, 22 KO's) vs. Jesus Soto-Karass (27-8-3, 17 KO's)

    If Soto-Karass has ANY Fight Left, this Could Get Interesting...Berto's had 2 TAXING Losses in his Last 3 Bouts...



    Keith Thurman (20-0, 18 KO's) vs. Diego Gabriel Chaves (22-0, 18 KO's)

    REED's Never Seen Chaves Fight, but his Record is Eye Catching...Hopefully the Fight is as EXPLOSIVE, in Actuality, as it has the Potential to Be, On Paper...

    Berto has the advantages but as you say he's been in some wars lately. Soto-Karass is a tough mofo but even though Berto isn't great he should be too fast and powerful for him. If he uses the shoulder roll defense though he's in trouble.

    Thurman should batter Chaves tbh, but Chaves looks tough and strong.

    In all honesty, Soto Karass beating Berto wouldnt shock me at all. Berto is already borderline brain damaged, and he's a guy who was almost starched by Cosme Rivera when he was young and fresh.

    If Berto's speed and pop doesnt overwhelm Karass, and if Karass can get inside, an upset is very possible.

    And tonight we should get a REAL idea about Thurman's worth. Who knows? Maybe Chaves is another Matty Ice for all we know. Either way, ONE of them will prove/dislike their quality tonight. Very exciting matchup!

    If Chaves has stamina he should win this.

    Thurman showing some guts the last couple rounds as Chaves slows down slightly. Thurman doesn't really know how to fight, but he's game.

    Thurman drops him with a bodyshot in the 9th and finishes him in the 10th. Most impressed I've been with Thurman. Gutty win.

    Thurman would knock out Berto, that's for sure.

    Figueroa's fun to watch, but he ain't goin far.

    Terrance Crawford would beat the shit outta him.

    This fight should be stopped. We're starting to get into ring fatality territory here.

    BRUTAL fight!

    Figueroa's a dead man once he fights someone with pop.

    Nah. It was amazing, but you knew who was going to win the whole time. Bradley/Provodnikov was better.

    But Arakowa was dropped twice but still kept going and throwing. His eye was fucked. Both guys threw constantly for 12 rounds.

    But for even a second did you think Arakawa was going to win?
