The IBF called Cody Crowley as Boots mandatory

[Eff Pandas]

Mario Barrios is interim champion he will be elevated once bud moves up.

Oh sh^t yea forgot about that. You're right.

Funny thing here is it seems likely Boots vs Barrios is next, possibly in a unification fight if Bud gets stripped or vacates so Cody could be top guy for two Boots belts which is probably a nightmare scenario he wakes up at 3am over.

[MulaKO]

Believe it was supposed to be the PPV comain to Benavidez vs Andrade.

Business-wise I get it. No one with a brain or legit options/upside want to fight Boots unless its for 7 digits. And Boots ain't a big enough draw to warrant the B side getting 7 digits.

Wow , co-main really
Would of certainly made that card a whole lot better
Disappointed with Crowley if he’s the one who avoided the fight

Crowley is called the weakest link in the division by some fans. His wins are not very impressive at all. He barely sc****d through almost retired Josesito Lopez. Which was the fight that elevated his name a tad. He's 30 with 20 bouts and I don't think he's in it for the long haul. He's probably asking for retirement money for the Boots fight. Otherwise, he wants Barrios.

Thats more harsh than I'd be with Cody.

Obviously hes not a guy whos winning on his boxing protege background or cat-like agility & reflexes Dude is a hard working, tough, volume throwing mfer whos winning with those things, but I get a guy whos been grinding so long, giving up so much of his life towards boxing, whos finally gotten where he is wanting a sexy reward of a long number on a piece of paper he can take to a bank.

A good fight, I like it.

22 wins with 9 KOs...not even a puncher's chance.

The guy probably has a regular job when he's out of the ring. And he's Canadian.

All for this fight, let the new blood prove who’s best.

[STREET CLEANER]

Good that he gets a fight like this so it can justify his title.

Should have been ordered earlier, but better late than never.
