reported on multiple boxing websites to likely happen. The two highest ranked, available fighters in the IBF 135 rankings. It had looked like Guzman was going to get a shot at the WBA title, but the IBF has beat them to it. This is going 12 rounds.
He should, but I don't think it's a case of him being 'unavailable'. I mean Guzman is only ranked at #7, I don't see how Angulo (#4) and Anthony Peterson (#6) are unavailable either. Unless they both are, not sure. Romanov is only #9, below all these guys plus Zahir Raheem.
Good fight! Guzman too slick for Romanov. Romanov is too straight up and down (Euro style) for Guzman.
Angulo lost on the 2-14 card, and Peterson is injured. But I agree its too bad Funeka isnt in this. He deserves it.
I hope Yuri can pressure him and break him down. Guzman will be weak at the weight. because of this he will likely be ultra defensive. Guzman is horrible to watch, I wish the guy didn't keep on getting opportunities especially after that weight farce. Guzman's a horirble style for most fighters, but his workrate is poor and he switches off far too much.
