    It's also so that there is little waiting around before the GGG/Canelo undercard starts.

    It's rather annoying for those in attendance.

    It's almost impossible for Skoglund to not perform better then expected.

    If he can survive the early onslaught I think it can be intresting, I imagine Skoglund will target the body and box ugly trying to bring it into the latter rounds. If he wants to win he'll have to score a knock him down, can't see him winning on the card in Liverpool.

    Yeah, if they really want to change boxing and the mess with all the belts they should also target the PPV bonanza.

    He is pretty good fighter, explosive power, tall and has decent defense, Smith has some flaws though.

    I haven't seen Caleb Plant so i can't say, against Ramirez it would be interesting, if Ramirez can box and move against Smith like he did against Abraham, i think he would beat Smith by a decision.

    ramirez is better then people give him credit for. Ive seen him extensively in the gym. Caleb plant is a speedy slickster with enough pop to hurt you. Really like how patient he is and he doesnt take unecessary risks. Guy is just willing to outland you every round. I love that. Intelligence in a fighter is key to longevity in the sport. unecessay risks will get you koed
    I wrote to caleb after that last fight where he shut that dude out because mayweather heavily criticized him for not taking risks if you can believe that and that punching bag raul marquez did the same.
    BOXING-to hit and not get hit. Not, take unecessary risks to please blood thirsty idiots.
