Co-main event of a WBA championship doubleheader being staged by GBP in Fuzhou on May 26th. Xu will be making the 1st defense of his featherweight title against #10 rated Kubo. The champion has lost just twice professionally, via majority and split decision, both 4-rounders in his freshman year. Kubo has lost but once, in his first WBA super bantamweight title defense against Daniel Román in 2017.
Xu is prepping for Kubo by sparring with former rival turned friend Jelbirt "Panther" Gomera. The southpaw Filipino - whom Xu defeated last year via TKO7 - is himself prepping to face Ryan Burnett for the WBC International super bantamweight title.
What the **** is going on with that bearded guy? Is he crying, laughing, sneezing? That is the question, that I don't really need to know the answer to. What the **** did I even post this for?
Poor Kubo, he looks terrified, like he knows he's in for the ass beating of a lifetime. This is going to be grisly.
He looks as if somebody just bet him five bucks he wouldn't eat their booger, and he then won, and immediately began to question the worth of the victor's spoils.
