      Well when Oscar pulled Munguia out of a title shot with Jermall Charlo, he screamed "DAZN has to be involved!" Well Munguia could've had a title shot with Andrade and DAZN WOULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED! Ryan Garcia could've fought Haney, and DAZN WOULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED! Lastly if Bivol fights Zurdo, DAZN WILL BE INVOLVED, so why the purse bid? Make a deal!
      Jermall/Munguia was a cross-network matchup, there was always doubt that one would happen. Ryan Garcia is a hot mess: he fought himself into position for Haney's belt and then had an injury/mental illness and now he's saying belts don't matter. If Bivol/Ramirez does go to a purse bid, it just means Matchroom and GBP don't want to co-promote. I'm still convinced this fight is gonna happen, and it will be on DAZN (that much we do know).

        Andrade vs. Munguia was not!

          For sure, I think people are high on bivol coming off the canelo victory as they should, but it's a mistake to overlook Zurdo. They've sparred in the past and Zurdo has been asking for the fight and Bivol has been quiet. So that's telling, I'm leaning Zurdo tko somewhere in the second half of the fight. That jab will offset Bivols timing and rhythm all night not allowing him to ever get into a groove and also help Zurdo get into his around mid fight and finish him off with a straight right down the center off a jab of course... Ala Mikey Garcia style!!

            Meh, I don`t believe Ramirez can win.

            Every true 175 fights is "difficult" for Bivol because he is undersized at 175.

            canelo fight was easy for Bivol because Canelo is not even 175 fighter. I fully expected Bivol to beat canelo.

              It definitely wasn't. Munguia could've had a title shot a while ago if he really wanted one, but he passed time and time again. Other than protecting Munguia/Garcia, maybe Oscar really doesn't want to work with Eddie. Hence, why this match-up may be going to purse bid.

                BX, you are right about that. I just wonder how much longer Josh is gonna stay at 40. I actually would like to see Teo vs Regis tbh. I think that fight sells well, and would be action packed!

                    Winner of Prograis vs. Zepeda, has to fight Ramirez next, so we won't see that any time soon. I hope JT stays @ 140 for Teofimo!

                      And that has to be disappointing to DAZN! Big fights were/are available, if they would work together!
