Oscar has really taken care of Rios and Rocha. These guys are always in the mix somehow.

I thought nick ball wanted unification, but I guess he lied.

I like Rios, he is an honest fighter and will try to bring it. It was enjoyable to watch him humble Diego De la Hoya when they fought. Every time Ronny has stepped up, he's lost and I expect him to fight valiantly but ultimately lose to Ball.

Ball will take this but could go for a stretch with good action.

Pulling hard for Rios in this one.

You do realize it is the promoter that picks the opponent and site and puts up the money, right? Fighters have designs on their career but the promoter is the one who makes the decision. Fighters may want certain things but it is the promoter that risks the money. Only a fighter at Canelo's level is the shot caller and a handful of PFP fighters but the rest of the fighters are dictated by the promoter; it is in the fighter/promoter contract.

They pulled my comment? I don't think the powers like my positivity, I need to tone it down I guess. I like Ball, he's all business. He has to be, he is always at a disadvantage. I can relate to that.

I'm a little dissappointed that Frank hasn't delievered the Vargas rematch that he owes Nick, but the undercard looks pretty good!
