Espinoza first

For the love of WTF is there anyone in feather that is willing to claim unification and become the top dog of 126 instead of waiting for Inoue?

Inoue may look at how averse they are to unify and just retire. They need a unified champ at least. He's got a consistent pattern, and being the clear front runner is the way to get that fight. Failing that, having the WBO belt since Inoue may use their rules to position himself as mandatory, if he decides he does want to take on 126. He's got a potential super fight moving up behind him in Nakatani that he might not get through either.

Same I wish those 126 guys would fight Unification, so inoue would have a clear no 1 to go after.

You just got that title man , don't you want to keep it for a little while , maybe make a couple of bucks first ?
Just kidding, I admire the moxy , however, unify first if you can Espinoza is one bad dude. If you can beat him you'll be in a great position. Good luck with that though.

I agree. Nakatani gets smoked by The Monster.

Rey Vargas would be a much easier fight for Leo than Rafael Espinoza. I can see him beating Vargas and maybe stopping him if he commits to the body early and often. I don't think that he's got much of a chance with Espinoza , he beats him from the outside, and inside too. He's just too damned big and too damned good.
