Very sad. This is not the big money fights Stanionis needs. He deserves better, specially after the Ortiz ordeal.
I am sorry but stuff like that is tha reason why boxing is struggling. In what way can you justify paying him big money when he's a nobody ? I am not saying he isn't talented but this is a business first and sports second ( it's sad but it's the truth).
Giyasov is a decent fighter but nothing I've seen him do looks special and that's against some ho-hum competition. Stanionis is an entertaining fighter and he could probably generate some buzz if he was managed, promoted and matched differently.

Well.. he could have had his chance to BE somebody, but he vas scammed and facked over instead. And what I mean by "big money" was more like just decent money.
