Does anyone know what the **** is happening with this strap? I heard the final eliminator was going to be Alvarez/JSJ which would be awesome, but then I heard some other ****, and their rankings are a mess...
Gilberto Ramirez
Umar Salamov
Maxim Vlasov
Eleider Alvarez
Joe Smith
Sergey Kovalev
So has anyone heard anything? I assume Zurdo still doesn't want the fight.
He’s feuding with Top Rank ( wants out ) and cause he’s a puzzy
Cant really hate on guys wanting out from TR contracts . Too many good fighters have done the same and sat in the shelf waiting to do so . Where there is smoke there is fire . There is something going on with the bobfather and his organization
I read an article where Eleider says that he’ll be patient and box towards a ko
I’m thinking he learnt his lesson from the rematch with Kovi
Lol **** he needs to learn from that and let his hands go I've seen him eat flush shots from powerful opponents he needs to have more confidence and let them hands go . He could be really exciting but is too good these days at stinking the joint out minus a few performances . Hopefully his seals KO has him ready to let those hands go !!! Got him fired up !! Alvarez is legit . Would love to see him go for the stoppage late if he can wear smith jr down like I know he can
Ya man I feel that , imo the fight will either be really exciting or REALLY boring .

Eleider’s got a great chin
He can take it
Exactly my thinking
Smith will have his moments cause Alvarez gets bored easily I find or should I say distracted from the task at hand
Still should be able to pull off the win
Just hope he doesn’t make it harder on himself

Eleider is definitely the superior boxer of the two, but Joe can crack. Will be a great match.

I would pick Alvarez for sure in a routine decision win with smith having some moments .

Hoping Alvarez can pull this off
He’s gonna be in tough against Smith Jr but I’m pretty sure he can get a decision win
Eleider has a great chin so I’m not to worried about Smith’s power
And should be capable to outbox him
Won’t be easy but shouldn’t be impossible

Should have made Vlasov fight SJS and Salamov fight Alvarez. No point having the fireworks fight at the start of the damn tournament.

Ramirez is out. Little tournament going on Alvarez vs Smith Jr and Vlasov vs Salamov ordered, winners face each other for the title. All have been signed by Top Rank. Doubt we'll here much for a while though with boxing being on hold and all

The last I heard is that the WBO wanted a 4 person eliminator between Alvarez, Joe Smith, Zurdo, and one of the other names you mentioned. However Zurdo is being shelved for whatever reason so I'm thinking its going to be a Alvarez-Smith and Salamov-Vlasov tourney. At this point in his career I think Kovalev is going paycheck hunting, he may not care about the belt anymore or he might try and slide in to fight for the vacant title against the winner of the tournament.
