    It is almost certain that the fight with Ruiz will not happen, a fight with Bakole or Sanchez is possible...

    Bakole turns Hurgo into mush & stops him.

    Then ideally let Bakole knock AJ's little head off and finish him off.

    Both dangerous. I reckon it will end up being Bakole.

    I thought Hrgovic-Ruiz had been ordered, purse bids and all?

    Pretty sure Ruiz will opt for the Wilder fight instead.

    I had a dream that fight happened and Wilder got disqualified, but in the dream I was only looking at the boxrec entry so i don't know what happened :lol:

    IBF rankings:

    1 FILIP HRGOVIC
    2 NOT RATED
    3 ANDY RUIZ JR - fighting Wilder
    4 DEONTAY WILDER - fighting Ruiz
    5 ANTHONY JOSHUA - fighting Franklin
    6 MARTIN BAKOLE - avoided like Hrgovic, will fight anybody
    7 FRANK SANCHEZ - promoter likes in-house matchups
    8 AGIT KABAYEL - needs a meaningful fight
    9 TONY YOKA - will need a softer opponent now
    10 DILLIAN WHYTE - prima donna, will avoid Hrgovic
    11 DEMSEY McKEAN - ducked Hrgovic in the past
    12 OTTO WALLIN - needs a meaningful fight
    13 MURAT GASSIEV - needs a good heavyweight fight, will not avoid anyone
    14 CHARLES MARTIN - promoter likes in-house matchups
    15 LUIS ORTIZ CUBA - promoter likes in-house matchups

    Frank Sanchez would be ideal in this scenario. He's undefeated and on the rise.

    I was happy to see Bakole beat Yoka, and I do like most heavyweights, but Bakole seems kind of ordinary to me. He fights like a puncher who can end it with one shot, but he isn't and only has 13 KOs. And Hrgovic is a lot better than Michael Hunter, who beat Bakole.

    I'm surprised Zhang isn't rated by the IBF at all. How does a guy who loses an IBF eliminator by a controversial, razor-thin margin in both his and Hrgovic's last fight not make the IBF top 15?

    I wouldn't mind seeing Hrgovic-Zhang II for the "interim, vacant, whatever it is" IBF belt or mandatory position or ranking or whatever. (It would be nice if the IBF actually rated 10 boxers in their top 10).

    But, if not Zhang, Sanchez will be fine.

    He couldn't stop Yoka because he wasn't disciplined and hasn't honed his finishing ability yet.

    Should be decent scraps. I'd really like to see Ruiz-Wilder so I hope that one happens.
