CBSN
The former unified welterweight champion returns to the ring for the first time in over two years on Saturday night
The best fights are those in which two fighters with a compelling mix of styles meet, both with questions to be answered. That's the kind of fight set for Saturday night (9 p.m. ET, FOX PPV) when Keith Thurman and Mario Barrios meet in a big welterweight clash. Keith Thurman -190 Mario Barrios +160 Welterweight Leo Santa Cruz -2200 Keenan Carbajal +1100 Featherweight Abel Ramos -575 Lucas Santamaria +425 Welterweight Luis Nery -150 Carlos Castro +125 Super bantamweight
Thurman (29-1, 22 KO) had established himself as one of the top names in a talent-loaded 147-pound division, grabbing the WBA championship before adding the WBC belt to his collection when he beat Danny Garcia in a March 2017 unification bout. The win over Garcia came one fight after a massive win over Shawn Porter, setting Thurman up as a true elite welterweight.
That was nearly five years ago.
