    Corry Spinks is fighting Latimore for the vacant IBF LMW title.

    Viloria was getting a world title shot against Ulises Solis last I heard.

    Ricardo Williams is fighting tonight on a small card I think.

    Jirov is retired.

    Cory Spinks pretty much fell off the map after losing a controversial decision to Verno Phillips. But he fights Deandre Latimore May 2nd in St. Louis.

    Viloria has been kinda skating by under the radar since losing to Edgar Sosa. He fights Ulises Solis next month in the Phillipines.

    Ricard Williams had been incarcerated, but was released last year. He's had a handful of fights since, and had a bout scheduled for last night against Harrison Cuello.

    No clue about Jirov.

    I doubt he'll return anytime soon, if at all. His wife passed away a few weeks ago.

    Jirov never looked the same after his bout with Toney. Who knows if his rapid fall had to do with lackadaisical training when he moved to heavyweight, the effects of that battle with Toney, or a combo of both.

    He certainly looked fatter at HW, probably both.
