Wow, that wasn't long before he quacked. He was going to get schooled into oblivion as he's average, and he knew that.
That's disappointing but not to be unexpected, typical of PBC to protect their fighters form anything that could be deemed a threat. Sucks for Stevenson, William Zepeda Segura is next in line in the WBC rankings and he's fighting next week, so hopefully WBC order that fight for the vacant title if Zepeda Segura wins.
Don't think Frank cares he seems he would take on anyone more about his advisors & looking at his long term along with their Sinking Brand.
I wondered the very same. Of course, that line of thinking will earn us the ire of the "ain't nobody want that smoke" crowd.
