I feel like Ryōta ought to earn the rematch, it wasn't like it was a close scrape. In the 9 months since he lost he will have done literally nothing, just coming directly off it. Brant meanwhile has a very good stoppage victory title defense over Khasan Baysangurov.
Money talks gave murata another shot. It was a boxing clinic in the first fight and murata had done nothing to earn a rematch
Can't see this going the other way this time around, as Brant just seems to have his number. Maybe trying to pull a Canelo?
Brant tried to get fights with Jeff Horn and others. I think he is just after paydays and challenges now he has arrived,good luck to him.
