    Hopefully Ruiz and Ortiz can face off after this.

    Ortiz will be 75 by then. His only chance will be if Ruiz comes in over four bills.

    Parker bumped to number 3 in the wbo rankings. He deserves it after feasting on only bums since he lost to Whyte.

    Glowacki will be fighting Okolie and the ref. Unless he scores a knockout he'll lose this.

    The experience gradient is so sharp here...I don't know Okolie but I know he hasn't fought anyone. He'll be stepping in with a guy who beat Cunningham and Huck, and fought Breidis and Usyk.

    Either Okolie has vast reservoirs of natural ability, or he'll need that ref's help.

    Lots of old boxing highlights that I loved(talking HW and CW here) that have vanished from YT over the years. There was a Denis Boystov one that I really dug from way back in the day. That guy has potential... Squandered it due to drinking and drugs. Hope he's doing better and recovering from his brain injury. Haven't heard any news/

    Parker vs Fa is apparently close to finalization.

    That bum Fa finally gets taken out to pasture. Albeit cashing while out, he wouldn't fight anyone with a pulse if a lot of cash wasn't on the table.

    If I remember correctly Boystov was slated to face Fury at one point. Boystov and Juan Carlos Gomez were two fighters I got frustrated by because I was looking forward to them making a move (at HW) but they didn't seem to have an interest in it themselves. After Boystov beat Bidenko I thought he'd test himself more ...

    Gassiev could return to the ring in November in Russia.

    That would be fantastic, and I hope he is ready to fight someone at least interesting.

    How about Deontay Wilder's second worst nightmare Evgeny Romanov?
