There has been a lot of talk surrounding a possible showdown between WBA 122-pound belt-holder Scott Quigg and multi-divisional champion Nonito Donaire. It would be an intriguing crossroads match-up with a lot on the line. So is this fight coming to fruition? Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum - who just returned to the States after his vacation - told Boxingscene.com:
The last we saw of Brandon 'Bam Bam' Rios he was crushing the remnants of Mike Alvarado on January 24th. He's been dormant since but it looks like he has his next assignment from Top Rank.

On September 14th, 2013, a 23-year old Saul Alvarez squared off against Floyd Mayweather and quite frankly, didn't have all that much success in losing a unanimous decision. 'Canelo' was a talented young fighter who came into that bout with the WBA and WBC junior middleweight titles but was simply out-classed by Mayweather.
Heading into his June 13 clash with Miguel Marriaga, Nicholas Walters was the reigning WBA featherweight champion. That status changed the day before the fight, as he failed to scale in at 126-pounds and was stripped of that title. He would go on to defeat Marriaga that Saturday in New York City, leaving with his unbeaten record but without his belt intact. There was back-and-forth discussion about whether or not he'd try to stay at featherweight. It looks like Walters(26-0, 21KOs) will now campaign in the 130 lb. division; his next fight could be coming against a familiar name. "We're going to make a match before the end of the year at 130-pounds, Nicholas Walters against Yuriorkis Gamboa,"said Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum, whose company Top Rank handles the 29-year old 'Axe Man' from Jamaica.
