Comments Thread For: Michel Rivera Wants To Return To The Ring Soon, Hopes For Tank or Haney Next

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

After fighting three times in 2021, Michel Rivera (23-0) hopes to have a similarly active 2002 campaign. The rising lightweight contender kicked off the year with a unanimous decision victory over the previously unbeaten Joseph Adorno (14-1-2) in Minneapolis.

Rivera will lose to both of them. He's not ready yet, give him two more years.

I want to see Rivera fight Frank Martin or the winner of this fight:

Jose Valenzuela Expects a Challenge From Corrales, Aims To Make a Statement

On September 4 from ******.com Arena in Los Angeles, rising lightweight Jose Valenzuela will face a serious test in former world champion Jezreel Corrales.

Their fight will be the Fox Sports pay-per-view opener to the heavyweight fight between Andy Ruiz and Luis Ortiz.

Valenzuela (12-0, 8 KOs), 23-years-old, trains as a stablemate of unbeaten two-time world champion David Benavidez. Back in April, Valenzuela looked sensational as he blasted out former world champion Francisco Vargas in the very first round.

Born in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, Valenzuela turned pro in 2018 and rode a five-bout knockout streak before earning his first 10-round decision in a victory over Deiner Berrio in September 2021.

He expects a serious test with Corrales, who won three in a row since heading up to 135-pounds..

The 30-year-old Corrales (26-4, 10 KOs) has the number two ranking in the WBA. Fighting out of San Miguelito, Panama, Corrales won a super featherweight title in 2016 when he went to Japan and knocked out Takashi Uchiyama before winning a decision in their rematch. He also owns victories over current former champion Rene Alvarado and veteran contender Robinson Castellanos...

Would much rather the WBA 'do their job" and order the winner of Haney vs. Kambo II, to fight Tank!

I heard Martin is fighting Colbert next.

[Nightfall]

This guy brings it but he needs 2 or 3 more fights

I know Colbert wants that, but I haven't seen anything from Martin, or Errol Spence, that the fight was a go!

I saw an interview with Colbert where he said that he's going up to 135 to fight Martin then he's gonna go back to 130 after and wants to fight grj. I mean that's far from definitive, but it sounds like it's in the works.

Screw that - instead, get a tournament with all the unbeaten contenders fighting each other: Frank Martin / Jose Valenzuela / Michel Rivera / William Zepeda / Raymond Muratalla / Brock Jarvis

Yeah, "top 15" and expecting a title shot next? 2-3 more fights against guys ranked higher than him then ok.

I would pay $100 for a PPV with 3 fights and 6 of these fighters fighting each other and then the 3 winners fighting the 7th fighter on my list for two additional fights and maybe a couple more fights with the best losers of the first set to make up a great undercard to a big fight. And this is just one division where so many great fights could be made. You got brawlers, boxer-punchers, puncher-boxers, come forward and boxing off the back foot type fighters, there would be something for everyone here!
