Jake Paul got played!!
Nelo a great bidness man!

 

agreed but he signed a 4 fight deal with Turki
One of those could potentially be the fight we all want.

there is hope

 

nah
He signed a 4 fight with Turki
He is not in favor of those circus events he is a hardcore boxing guy like us.

I broke down the 4 fight deal
In this same thread & Jake Paul ain’t on the menu!
It’s 2nd looooooong post.

 

The American me is rooting for a Crawford victory it would be cool for that to happen
However, money on Nelo
hard to win a decision / bet against him

Bud is gonna be at a disadvantage with more than just weight the judges are biased for Nelo.

 

So maybe Turki will stack the deck against
It will be close & competive for sure
I’ve just been conditioned not to bet against Canelo.
