    Comments Thread For: Sebastian Fundora-Brian Mendoza To Headline Showtime Card April 8 In Carson, California

    Fighting a hard-hitting former junior middleweight champion on short notice seemed like a tall order before Brian Mendoza's last fight. Now that he has sent Jeison Rosario into an early retirement, Mendoza has accepted the tallest task of all within the 154-pound division. BoxingScene.com has confirmed that Mendoza will challenge Sebastian Fundora for "The Towering

      This guy belongs in a circus. Jermell Charlo would duck this guy. I would too. He should play baskeball or something.

        Those guys would blow Jaron Boots' resume out of the water. Kava with 26 bouts had already fought Crawford, Ortiz and now Butaev, who got 16 fights and already fought Stanionis in a close decision fight.

          He also demolished Avanesyan in six rounds. (Like Crawford).

          Also not sure how to feel about the main card, despite knocking out Rosario, Mendoza lost to a prospect in Jesus Ramos. Not sure he belongs to be in the main card just yet.

            I know. But Avanesyan went on to win six of his succeeding fights by KO since.

            Question now is if these guys are fighting, who would be left for Jaron Boots to fight next? I was hoping he would be paired with one of these guys for his next fight or even before the Karen fight. It almost seemed like Boots is avoiding anyone that could derail the hype train.

              Damn, I was hoping Yoelvis Gomez would've fought Fundora! Where's Brian Castano? Did he quit?

              Good for Brandun Lee! I hope he fights Russell, Lipinets, or Ergashev! Time to step it up!

                Boots will be fighting whomever the IBF selects, and it will be for the IBF title that Spence will vacate! Most likely IBF #2 Roiman Villa, who just beat up Rashidi Ellis! Kavaliauskas and Butaev are not ranked by the IBF! Let's see who is in a rush to unify with Boots, once he's IBF Champion!

                  Decent main but great co-main between Mean Machine/Butaev. Might just have to roll to StubHub for thus one.

                    No longer matters to me who Ennis fights next. Fans look forward to cherrypick-gone-wrong fights nowadays. I don't think he would fight who fans want to see him fight, anyways.
