    According to Fat Dan, there are plans underway for a possible Top Rank card in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Arum would like to have the show on HBO live in the afternoon, which would be night time in the Middle East . The three fights he has in mind are...


    • Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Nicholas Walters (provided Walters beats Miguel Marriagathis Saturday)
    • Timothy Bradley-Jesse Vargas winner vs. Sadam Ali
    • Gilberto Ramirez vs. the winner of Abraham-Stieglitz IV.




    Pretty good card if it comes off. Let's see how it plays out...


    :bbb

    Iceberg Arum just spinning dreams again. That's why he wins "mack of the year" every year.

    I hope it happens Loma-Walters is a dream match up.

    There's a possibility Walters doesn't get past Marriaga.

    Loma is not taking this fight. He is a coward like rest of the eastern europeans.

    Too stacked. He might as well have said the fights would all take place on the moon and the purses would be paid in Swiss cheese.

    Does a possible Loma-Walters fight's winner deserve to be in top 10 "pound for pound", replacing there (Ring ratings) Yamanaka or Uchiyama?

    They're already missing Inoue big time, in my opinion.

    Worth a discussion. I think Walters is closer than Lomachenko is so probably easier for him to elevate into it (especially since that means he looks good Sat too). The top 10 P4P is as open as it's been in several years.
