Damn this sucks was looking forward to this… hope the Shakur fights gets knocked back towards the start of the card now. Was he looking average in sparring leading up to the fight and his team advised him not to make weight and claim illness argh seems shady.

Gonna be pretty hard to find a replacement on 4 days notice. The flight alone to saudi is like 15+ hrs. Unless they got a back up lightweight from the prelims that they can use

[Groin Grabber]

Why is the bbboc overseeing the weights and all in Saudi?

Also is like the British version of the wbc doing 30 and 15 day weigh ins before the official weigh in?

Why did the letters go from Red to Sh it brown?

I kept thinking my contrast got effed up. Haha.

No Shakira? This card is great!

But since last week there where people saying Shakur was injured and etc.

Anyway, the only important question:

Why did the letters go from Red to Sh it brown?

Thanks, Floyd. You spared us another boring fight.

The card is stacked, this wasn’t the first an anyone’s list in terms of excitement. Floyd Schofield should have a different head trainer, but maybe with his father still in the corner. Extremely talented but underachieving IMO.

Other Americans have been caught? is Eddy about to adopt Shakur?

More "whiff" than "what if" with this fight, but the "what if" was kind of intriguing. Ah well.
