    I thought Langford was fighting Cunningham. Why did this change?

    I thought Khurtsidze was Billy Joe's mandatory, why did that change?!

    There's a whole lot of changing going on, just no explanations dammit.

    Right? At first they just gave the spot to Canelo, then I THINK they recanted that, and apparently they went back to Canelo? I guess this points to Saunders vs Golovkin being a thing assuming Golovkin gets past Jacobs, but it is all still very strange.

    By the way, is Langford good? I haven't seen him fight. I still haven't seen Jeff Horn fight, but since that fight against Pacquiao isn't happening I guess I don't have much of a reason to at this point.

    Looks like we have the pieces falling in to place for -
    Khurtsidze Vs Langford for the WBO interim
    Golovkin Vs Saunders to unify all the baubles
    N'Dam N'Jikam Vs Murata for WBA "interim/regular" (which will be announced following Golovkin Vs Jacobs)

    BJS paid step aside money to Khurtsidze. I guess the plan will be for Billie Joe to give up his title to GGG for a pot full of cash in the summer.
