However, that was during Thurman's time, haven't been injured and still undefeated. He did make a comeback against a ballooned 140 lbs in Barrios and fought at 147 lbs. So Ugas might posed a different challenge if ever this two square in the ring and it could go to distance.
It is very possible that the fight between Thurman and Ugas will go a distance. Ugas is somehow a defensive fighter so it would be a challenge for Thurman to crack Ugas' defense. This will be an interesting fight between a boxer that defeated Manny and a Boxer that is defeated by Manny.
Even though Thurman is defeated by Manny, it looks like he will be the crowd favorite between the two.
