What you guys make of the choice of opponent? Tommy Karpency's record is pretty shocking to warrant a title defence.
I understand the division isn't one of the best in boxing in terms of its depth, but there are a good handful of fighters that would have made a more appealing contest.
I'm glad he isn't unifying against someone like Hopkins or Cloud, he ain't good enough at the moment. Apparently they chased the Shumenov fight, but I reckon they would have wanted him to come to Wales to unify.
Gutknecht and Sukhotsky would have been good opponents but I reckon they feel they could get a better deal further down the line.
Karpency is way down the rankings, bet he couldn't believe his luck!
