    I just now realized that this is on the undercard of Hernandez-Cunningham II. :lol: How is that not mentioned until now? That's really OP-worthy info.

    It's interesting because the winner of Hernandez-Cunningham is mandated by the IBF to fight Ross.

    And I thought it's significant because some people were saying Ross had retired.

    Ross is underrated, he'd have a chance of defeating any cruiserweight. He would have defeated Cunningham and won the title if not for the thumb going his eye.

    Was Ross really on the way to beating Cunningham, wasnt it only the 5th round, there was plenty of fight left or was he really schooling him in there?

    and cruiser has good rivalry possibilities like USS vs Diablo III or Huck II

    USS vs Hernandez II

    maybe Diablo vs Tarver

    USS vs Lebdev

    Diablo vs Lebdev

    Ross vs any of those

    if Huck moves up i wonder who gets his belt

    It was close up until that round, then Ross began to dominate and knocked Cunningham down.

    Just two and a half weeks until the fight, but no opponent has yet been named for Ross.

    Seemed on his way? Losing every round except the one KD you scored "appears to be on the way" to a Ross victory?:blood

    If Hernandez loses to Cunningham(which I think he will) he should avenge his lose to Braithwaite.

    For now he gets to keep it. Even if he loses to Povetkin (As expected)

    :patschLanding one shot and dropping him counts as "dominating" and Cunningham came back and looked to be in control of the fight after the KD.

    Ross should have been given the rematch against Cunningham bottom line and he has waited and waited for his rematch, but in my opinion has been screwed around by not only the IBF, but the Sauerland group too.

    Now, he signs a promo deal with the Sauerland group, which look like they are trying to set him again.....

    Who knows!

    In my opinion, Ross is the most talented and exciting fighter out of all of them, although Hernandez can punch!

    I'd agree, but is Braithwaite not retired yet?

    If he could drag him into the ring, yeah. It wouldn't be a huge victory, but it would correct a not too distant blemish and wouldn't be as meaningless as Pacquiao avenging the Torrecampo loss. More along the lines of Klitschko-Brewster II, or if Khan went after Prescott.

    I read in the Toronto papers that Ross signed a 3 fight promo deal with Sauerland.He got a bonus of 100 k but of course,Sauerland will screw that out of him over the course of the contract.:lol:
