Too bad it was a good match up. I few fights are already falling or fell apart, hopefully that won't be the trend in 2023.

Oscar Rivas had several retina surgeries in the past and he couldn't even pass an eye exam years ago when he was supposed to fight Gerald Washington.

Not a good sign. Best of luck to him.

Mahkmadov is coming off a 1 round fight where he hardly broke a sweat. That was less than a week ago, he's already ready.

- just saying

Rivas is hard to judge. I thought he looked good vs whyte even got a KD. But looked terrible vs roziki. Ajagba would’ve knocked him out

[Marchegiano]

It was a heavyweight fight? Silly me, I just assumed Rivas was defending his title.

Where's Michael Hunter? Give him a call!

First thing I thought of when read eye injury… Not sure the risk is worth taking. He should consider retirement.

I think this guy is done. Eye injury is no joke.

They should make Makhmudov - Ajagba.
