Bread what's good bro? We had some good match ups this past weekend. Hard to catch them all with so many different networks, but I went ahead and checked out the HBO double header and also the Andrade fight.

I have said for a while that I believe he has the potential to be the class of the junior middleweight division, and I could definitely see a middleweight title in his future. I know it's a small sample size since he's been back, but how would you see a few different match ups with him and his peers at 154 particularly Canelo and the Charlo bros?
