    Expected a stronger opponent myself. Hoping that him and Martinez both having soft touches is because the unification is in the pipeline.

      Any word on who Gary Cully will be fighting against? 3 weeks out and still no opponent announcement isn't good.

        Linares was a name I seen floating about. Got little interest in that one.

        They’ll probably just draft in an international opponent with a blown up record at this point.

          Was hoping for someone like Francesco Patera but even that's looking unlikely at this stage.

            That’d be a decent step up.

            I wouldn’t mind seeing Cully fight Gwynne as well tbf.

              Jose Felix is the opponent.

                I can't say I've heard of him before, so what I expected I guess.

                  Went the distance with Sandor Martin, Isaac Cruz stopped him in three. Pretty average opponent, would've hoped for better if he's the chief support. Linares must've been too expensive, he's fairly washed now but still carries name recognition, would've been perfect on such a big card.

                    Beterbiev-Smith won by Top Rank - assume it'll be in Canada, wonder if it goes Sky or BT in this country? Shame MR couldn't put it on in Liverpool, would've been a big summer show. I'd give Smith a reasonable chance of winning.

                      It’ll likely be Sky I think. They have a broadcast deal with TR.

                      I’m likely gonna blindly pick Smith but my head says Beterbiev by mid rounds KO.
