    I have always thought Alexis may have been looking past Fernandez to a mega fight with Duran. The rematch tends to validate that theory.

    A- ****ing- men. A tune up is by and large going to be a champion or top 5 fighter, against an opponent 10 or more places below them.

    'Cotto-Margarito' and 'Duran-Hearns'. The amount of stupid ****ers about this place.

    People are confusing tune up and upset.

    how is that considered a tuneup? It was a major step up in class.

    Miranda vs Pavlik! At the time Miranda was by many said to be the most feared boxer, and looked by Pavlik to fight Taylor:lol:

    Dude, what are you talking about?

    What was Harrison/Guinn or Harrison/Sprott or Wlad/Sanders tune ups for?

    Witter/Bradley was a mandatory. Witter/Alexander was for a vacant title. Khan/Prescott was not a tune up for anything.
