    2 weight world champion and can drop back to middleweight. It makes sense to me. Saunders hasn't fought at middleweight since lemieux so probably needs to drop the weight gradually.

    Complete dogmuck, but this was to be expected by Saunders and Warren.

    I’d be intrigued to see how many of Warrens fighters have fought for a vacant WBO world title over the years.

    Isufi has got to be a contender for one of the worst world title challengers of recent years. And there's been a few bad ones.

    Dying to see Saunders in with Canelo or GGG, so this fight does nothing for me.

    He should be fighting Royal Albert Hall/Copperbox max. He wont get anywhere near 10000

    He’ll become a 2 weight world champion. Not his fault regarding the quality of the opponent. Stupid rankings that justify when it suits, who it suits.

    I'm assuming Top Rank's Gilberto Ramirez is moving up to 175 and this whole thing was as easy as pie to make between Bob Arum, WBO and Warren.

    This is a terrible fight, remember Broner is also a 4 weight division champ but it means nothing.

    Yep. Nice easy belt which might get him the GGG/Canelo fight he craves. It’s clever from Frank, gives him leverage.
