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.
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)
