There's still sho box but it's sporadic. Also fnf could sometimes get bigger names like trout bc unlike shobox fnf wasn't only seen as a up and coming talent program. I think there will be a replacement for fnf eventually. There needs to be.
Nothing but respect for Monroe, even with a L against his name to Golovkin he has a name in the sport now, people know him. No shame in losing to the best wish others would take the lead of guys like Monroe and Lemieux etc. These fighters are hardly done and lose nothing losing to GGG. Good luck to him.
Fat Dan said Monroe's people are trying to setup Monroe/Jacobs for April at Barclays. I love that fight and think Monroe pushes Danny to a tight 12 round decision.
If Canelo doesn't jump right in to fight GGG after Khan, then I'd hope he fights Monroe at 160. I can't handle Canelo defending the MW title multiple times against 140-147 pounders.
You gotta feel for Monroe. He stepped up and took the fight nobody wanted and how does he get rewarded? Can't even get back to work.
