    All four should be a great mix to the welterweight division.

    Eimantas Stanionis and Josh Kelly are also 2016 Olympians at welterweight that are looking great so far, Stanionis also fights this weekend in the undercard of Garcia vs Lipinets, he is 4-0 3 KO's so far and Kelly is fighting Molina in the Joshua vs Parker undercard.

    Giyasov's pro debut. What a splendid looking venue the King's Theatre in Brooklyn is.

    His countryman Murodjon Akhmadaliev also made his pro debut on that bill too.

    Noooo, would American TV really boycott a Muslim welterweight from Uzbekistan with 42 letters in his name who doesn't speak English? I mean the money-making opportunities there are limitless!

    Lol you do have a point. Boxing isn't a meritocracy, its who os the most marketable. Now if he started sparking guys out and looked amazing why not put him on TV.

    Or he could play like the villain in wrestling

    That's exactly it. Boxing like everything else depends on consumers. If consumers are not interested in your product it doesn't sell. Simple as that.
