Why isn't Cruz fighting Barroso?

Because WBA...

[Teetotaler69]

The ortiz-tszyu fight should be the co main honestly. Ruiz fight is whatever and Cruz should be fighting Barroso

[Smash]

rumours are that turki wants to actually buy nevada as a present for the big dogs back home, kind of like the desert away from the desert

This is a dangerous fight for Crawford. Over a year out the ring, new weight class and he will be nearly 37. Madrimov is an excellent pressure fighter, should be interesting.

Someone is going to get countered.

I don't get it. Bud didn't want to fight a rematch with Spence at 154, where he would have been favored to win easily, but he's gonna to fight this guy? The Spence fight would have been for a lot more money!

Now that's how you stack a card!!!
