    Its pretty bad when this May 30th card from London is more solid than the undercard of the most expensive PPV in history.

    Kell Brook vs. Frankie Gavin
    Jorge Linares vs. Kevin Mitchell
    Evgeny Gradovich vs. Lee Selby
    Anthony Joshua vs. Kevin Johnson



    Terrible opponent I was a fan of Leo's but this is getting absurd.

    Last year Frampton fought a French guy ranked the same as this guy, who had never fought outside France before. Were you outraged?

    Totally false equivalency.

    Settoul ranked the same as was Parodi? By what bodies?

    Parodi was ranked by the IBF, because he was their intercontinental champion.

    Parodi had, by his cash-out date with Frampton, accomplished literally everything Settoul has (French champion and EBU-EU champion) and more (IBF Youth & Intercontinental champion) and had two names in former WBO Latino bantam champ Will Prado and Mexican champ Genaro Camargo that are each alone better than Settoul's entire résumé.

    Settoul has lost thrice - one a KO1 to a guy with an 8-9-2 record. Parodi had lost once, via majority decision, in a WBC International title bout.

    Probably. No result can salvage this. He needs to really step it up now, ASAP, to wash the bad taste out from every fan's mouth, or else all the naysayers' heckling will have essentially proven true. (and this is coming from someone who saw great promise in LSC and who defended most of his run from Malinga through Mijares...but after Roman and Ruiz, this is just unacceptable. Bedak even would've been okay for a tide-over match on short notice, but this? :-()

    Well it was Floyd's idea to add LSC onto the card so they could tap into the Mexican community with it being near Cinco de Mayo - but I'm sure it wasn't Floyd's idea to import the #3-5 bantamweight in France. :!:

    Should have instead put Jessie Vargas on the card (he's somewhat Mexican right?)
