    Lennox is 50? Time fly's man.... Remember watching his fights as a kid, hard to believe.

    I think Washington gets bombed out by Mansour, Kassi has skills but is too inactive and suffers from sparring mentality so I don't like his chances.

    Yeah, Mansour might as well serve as a gatekeeper from now on.

    I definitely think Kassi has the skills to pull an upset up, but being able to and actually doing are two entirely different things. He's suffering from a severe case of sparring mentality, and I could honestly see him losing just on activity alone despite looking the more talented/capable of the two. He's like Kevin Johnson in that regard.

    I consider Parker and Joshua the only 2 "Blue chip" prospects in the division right now. (Usyk would be the 3rd if he moved up). Is that a fair assessment? Or is there a really good future champ currently pro that I am missing?

    "As far as Luis Ortiz we are a couple of days from wrapping up a new opponent said Golden Boy Promotion matchmaker Robert Diaz.
    We have gone through a long list, Jennings, Stiverne, Fedosov....
    We have a guy now, we are waiting on a contract.
    He obviously had to be rated in the top 15 by WBA."
    Diaz said Ortiz will stay on the pay-per-view portion of the show.

    (Vidondo is ratet number 15 by the WBA)
