Yeah, he had a 126 belt gifted by the ref against Kholmatov and promptly lost it in his next fight against the world wrecking Nick Ball. Just another example of Americans not giving any effs for anything below 135.

Or that the writing quality hit a further low as usual.

Eric Raskin is supposed to be an award-winning boxing writer.

I guess you can win awards in the US not knowing anything below 135 at the minimum, not a surprise. At least he got the names right tho, thats a start.

Part of me thinks Warren isn't letting that belt leave the UK atleast until Inoue payday or a Riyadh payday at the earliest.

Ford looked pretty good , moving up in weight seems to have done him some good.
