Excellent fight for the division, a legit TBRB top ten clash. With two belts, the winner positions themselves for bigger fights. Wide open to see who eventually comes out on top. Hopefully Fundora doesn't waste his time rescheduling the hasbeen Thurman fight and instead targets either the winner of this or Ortiz - Lubin.

Surprised Zayas took this fight, I think Baraou is going to stop him.

This is basically the only winnable fight in the division for Zayas and his ONLY shot at becoming a unified world champion. No way he beats Murtaz, Fundora or Boots.

i agree. but knowing current boxing zayas will just drop the belt when ennis mandatory is called. that would make this fight a waste of time. i'm rooting for baraou because i like his style more.

Good fight, Baraou has good stamina and tight punches but his legs are slow. Zayas is ever improving but his lack of power will hold him back a bit.

Very happy to hear about this unification. Something that 154lb desperately needs.
