Joshua Edwards will fight on the Barrios-Garcia card.

 

He’s a bulldozer. Not much skill, but brute strength and plenty heart.

At national level he was always unlucky, falling short against Petrovsky a couple times and then Surov.

Good test for Viddal Riley.

Masternak is a seasoned vet, that is awkward and can actually box a bit. He gave a good fighter in Billam Smith problems.

There is probably a decent chance Opetaia will get stripped of the IBF belt.

 

He was stripped once before there is also no number 1 or number 2 contender currently at cruiser for the iBF

 

Chris Billiam Smith and Nyika are the highest rated contenders. If push comes to shove, they will probably fight for the belt.

 

interesting if the IBF strips Opetaia

Zuffa and Turki's play seems to be undermining the sanctioning bodies, it looks like they are doing it all by themselves

 

I'm not sure what Opetaia's plan is to be honest. He won't really get anywhere fighting a gatekeeper in Glanton. But, at the same time all the other CW are blatantly ducking Opetaia.

Perhaps Benavidez beating Zurdo could change that though.

 

Masternak has to be in his forties by now.

 

38 now. Wasn't that long ago he put up a very good effort against Billiam Smith, its a hard fight for Viddal Riley.

If Viddal shuts him out and wins every round, that will be really impressive.

 

Surov is now fighting Iman Ramazanpour
