    I guess TRs problem is that they keep so much in house r against foreign promoted fighters.

    At LHW, all the top guys had been at HBO or in the PBC sphere.

    Now that Beterbiev has signed, that fight shouldn't be difficult to make

    I'm still annoyed about the fact that Gvozdyk, the number one WBO contender at the time, wasn't allowed/chose not to compete for the vacant strap, and was instead contested by the number two contender (Kovalev), and someone who was gifted a number ten ranking (Shabranskyy) once the fight was signed so it could become a title match.

    Instead, he fights for a meaningless interim title that would only propel him to the actual WBC strap once the champion deals with his mandatory obligation.

    Not exactly the best of trade-offs for the Nail.

    Bivol was handed that belt the guy he beat for it was a joke but the Barrera was a good win

    :dunno I'm sure your opinion will drastically change when Stevenson knocks Jack out cold. Don't get me wrong, I actually HATE Stevenson as a person, but he isn't an "easy" win for anyone.

    Well, by saying he's the weakest, that would somewhat imply he's easy, and I dislike TMT fighters as well, but morally I cannot and never will support Adonis, and neither should a fine moralistic puritan SJW like yourself, Stevenson raped, beat and tortured young prostitutes that were being held as sex slaves when he was the enforcer for a drug dealing pimp back in his early 20's the man should still be in jail, also while he was in jail, he beat a fellow prisoner into a vegetative state, I'm with Jack 100% in this one.

    Yeah, he served time in prison for it in Quebec, but because of your damn poor sentencing laws up there, he only got a paltry 8 years. He should've gotten life. There's several news stories on it if you google it. He's a despicable human being.

    Didn't want the short stack.
    Heard he was in talks with GYM bout another big domestic clash with Pascal.

    I guess JP still puts ppl in the seats and the fight was not scored right and Alvarez wants that fixed.
