Comments Thread For: Jesse Hart To Test Free Agent Market After Parting Ways With Top Rank

Yeah, that's Sean Gibbons fighter IIRC.

Is Plania signed to TR?

I'm curious what the hell they have planned for Inoue. Hate how he missed out on the Casimero unification. Now Donaire is likely to get the winner of Rigo/Casimero. But what does Inoue do in the mean time?

Who knows. Top Rank will have to get creative or be content to squander Inoue's talents like they do with Bud's.

Plania might be a free agent

I hope Donaire vs winner of Rigo/Casimero gets made for the end of the year and then in the first quarter of 2022 we can see the undisputed match up at 118 before Inoue moves up.

I'm hoping MJ gets in the mix with the other top 122 pounders as well. We need that undisputed match up after the Fulton/Figueroa fight.

I'm not too optimistic about that. I'm no PBC hater type but they are fine living in their own bubble. They also have enough work for Fulton over there after he beats Figueroa. Conlan as a mandated tune up, Roman, Aleem and maybe they pick up Castro. He has two offers right now.

What is up with Top Rank though? I thought they had a large budget.

[BigZ44]

Carlos Castro, Jesse Hart and Elvis Rodriguez all got axed from Top Rank? Those would be decent pick ups from somebody.

Castro got let go? That's the worst move of the 3 imo, PBC should pick him up with all the guys they have at 122, Castro can really box

Yes, very strange. I think Hart getting let go was odd too. I figured he was fighting Berlanga next.

"The news comes on the heels of junior welterweight prospect Elvis Rodriguez having been released by Top Rank, in a story broken over the weekend by The Athletic’s Mike Coppinger. BoxingScene.com has learned that junior featherweight contender Carlos Castro (26-0, 11KOs) is not only no longer with Top Rank but already in promising talks with at least two other promoters at present time."

Honestly, Hart is the most understandable of the 3 to me. Giving up on Rodriguez so early and Castro when he is so close to a title shot are shockers, Hart is at least on the verge of becoming a gatekeeper, but is is strange because of all the guys TR has at 175

It makes sense to let him go, I just thought they'd test Berlanga with him first. I could see Bek or Morrell fighting him soon.

Those make sense, I wouldn't mind Marcus Browne vs Hart
