    Don’t know much about Soliman so you can educate us but be objective.

    I have been very impressed by Inoue but as I was watching the first round I was thinking he is a bit open here and bang. Moving up in weight you need to be even more careful. However I liked the way he overcame the crisis to his full credit. Don’t give a big puncher the opportunity he is looking for.

    Bud May end up facing Canelo at 168 because Canelo won’t want to give up any advantages.

    It’s like when Devin fought Ryan, just stay on the outside until you adapt and have your opponent figured out. Going Mano a Mano in the first round is always risky, especially against a massive puncher like Nery.

    Benaivides may literally kill Canelo and Beterbiev would. There ar3 weigh classes for a reason. There is an optimum weight you must not fight beyond. 154=for Floyd and perhaps 160 for Bud if that and that is a stretch.

    I remember that fight. Calzaghe came right back at him and put him down.

    Bud should not fight him or anyone at 168.
