      He seems to have very good pop that carries late. We still don’t know the lingering effects of the Davis KO so this one should be very interesting.

        They're all whores over at PBC. Haymon is their slave master. They stay because they like the protection. No real fighter would ever want that for themselves.
        Oh, you're one of those....

          This beats Ray Vargas continually begging for LSC.

            Yes he's one of those. But don't worry because when 2023 comes around there will finally be no more Hearn / Hearn-o-maniacs / MR / DAZN in America. They are down to their last one or two Canelo fights and then it's off to PBC for the rest of redhead's career. If Oscar can't get Tank, Boots or Jermall to fight his only 3 fighters of note on DAZN this year then the plugged will be pulled on him as well. GBP will be forced over to Showtime andthen hopefully Al, Bob and Oscar will finally realize that if they work together more often they can do something really special with the sport and never allow a foreign entity to come over here again and "takeover". Fuqing clowns!

              No it doesn't beat that.

              Rey Vargas vs Santa Cruz would be a legit unification. Leigh Wood only has the WBA's secondary bum belt.

                I don't hate Matchroom or DAZN. I think boxing is spread too thin and the sport suffers for it. Not really picking sides because that's where all the wackos and irrational **** riders are. And that's kinda what you're coming across as right now as well.

                Leigh Wood went the WBA route. His promotional company doesn't get along with LSC's promotional company so this was always going to purse bid. 75% in favor of the champion per WBA rules. If I know that then they should know that. Can't cry foul if you know what you're getting into.

                  What I'm saying is at least LSC being tied up with Woods means maybe for one second Vargas will stop begging for LSC and fight Navarrete so by proxy I'm hoping LSC vs Woods happens for that reason. The ONLY scintillating fight is Vargas vs Navarrete. None of these other matchups bring the intrigue of the stylistic matchup of those two..

                    Lsc will, fight Vargas anyway. Wood gets upgraded and then fights Warrington.

                      Hearn was trying to get his fighters upgrade without having to fight for it. They thought Leo wouldn't want to fight Wood and the WBA would have stripped him and upgraded Wood to full champion. They never expected Leo to agree to the fight and the purse bid. Hearn is always trying to get his fighters vacant belts
