    Jai called Gilberto to set up the fight but he answered “Zurdo? No no Mi llamo diestro” and hung up.

    I pick jai to win but zurdo don’t seem like the type to duck anyone and he has fought way more world champions than opetia.

    Gilberto (he doesn't deserve a nickname) is ducking as he doesn't want to get ****ed up by a soon to be top 5 heavyweight who is vastly better than him in every department.

    He's waiting for Opetaia to move up to the heavyweight division to avoid fighting him...

    Ramirez now pretending he didn't even know who Opetaia was until recently.

    Not just a chicken, he's a liar as well.

    Because the Benavidez fight will pay a lot more. And at least with Benavidez, Zurdo can think "this guy looks soft at 175, he's just going to be a fatass at CW and maybe I can beat him". Jai? He looks like a steamroller headed Zurdo's way.
