Been told that there is a slight possibility this fight could land on the Khan-Senchenko undercard at the MEN. I hope it does land on this bill although more likely to be in LA on the same night.
McDonnell is going to be in one tough fight... Santa Cruz just don't stop he is relentless I think he will move up wait and he will fight malinga for vacant title
If he fights for the vacant title it will be vs Julio Ceja not Mulinga. Ceja is 23/0 with 21KO's so McDonnells team should just take the payday vs Santa Cruz who might be tight at the weight and struggle outside of the US.
McDonnell is a good fighter but his lack of power will cost him when he steps up to world level. I like him but it's very tough to beat elite opponents if you have no power and aren't the most skillful boxer out there.
A heavyweight who just recently turned pro said to me he'd never been hit harder to the body than by Jamie McDonnell. I think he has a bit more in hand than he's letting on.
