    I would love to see a Munguia vs Islam fight sometime in 2019.

    Probably linked to this....
    https://www.rfa.org/english/news/uyghur/kazakhs-09142017111630.html

    "Chinese authorities in the northwestern region of Xinjiang have detained more than 50 members of the Kazakh ethnic group after they watched video of a world-class boxing match featuring welterweight Kanat Islam, sources told RFA on Thursday.

    Those detained had all received and viewed the video, which had been banned by the ruling Chinese Communist Party amid a crackdown on ethnic Kazakhs migrating to neighboring Kazakhstan or maintaining family or cultural ties there."

    Roman vs. Fuentes has to be on the televised docket.

    The "Chinese authorities" probably had a "little word" with Islam's family still in China. Sad state of affairs.

    "The Habahe county police won't let anyone talk about Kanat. You're not allowed to praise him or talk about what a cool guy he is or how well he fights," the source said. "That's banned."

    Is Spike taking Lemieux to the cleaners in what must surely be his last foray in the bigtime do you think?

    Xi Jinping is low-key the ultimate level boss of this impossibly frustrating platform beat-'em-up that is present-day global diplomacy.

    We need cheat-codes, stat.

    My guess is that the fight will be streamed on Ring TV.

    Oh man, if only those geeky misfit European intellectuals from the middle of the 19th century were able to get a glimpse of how skewed their ideologies would become and the ****ed-up escapades that dozens of tyrannical regimes would carry out in their name... :ohno

    Preach brother. Principles look ok on paper to the uninitiated until the populace are eating tree bark and doing forced calisthenics in a field at 5 am. Oh that and their leaders living lives of opulence.

    Gonna be a bloodbath no matter the outcome, neither is getting taken out with a single blow so even if tides end up turning severely in either one's favor it'll just be prolonged carnage (with an ever-present outside chance of a dramatic comeback from whoever is copping the beat-down)

    Whenever I hear that Spike O'Sullivan has a spot on a decent card, a voice asks -
    'Why did Chris Eubank JR move to SMW again?'

    If it is true that he's trained himself his whole career, what talent must be locked away in there?

    Definitely better than last time but still not great... Lemieux/O'Sullivan should be fun while it lasts, another showcase/learning fight for Munguia and Gonzalez is back against a faded Fuentes which will hopefully tell if he even remotely resembles the fighter that fans were treated to pre Rungvisai.
