I think this fight makes sense. Sillakh says he's ready for a title shot now. The top four guys are all fighting eachother (Hopkins-Dawson & Pascal vs Cloud is likely) so why not go after the WBA champion? The fight makes less sense for Shumenov but who knows, maybe he wants to prove the Campillo fight(s) are in the past.
