Titles don't matter. Ennis vs Ortiz is a much better and bigger fight than this UNIFICATION.

THEY say Baraou has talent, so how come we never heard of him until he beat a whole 10 fight title holder. This is like a participation prize title fight. It might be good, but not all that guaranteed KO good. Zayas has some skill and the home town edge. Three points out of the gate.

I like xayas. He’s better than people give him credit for.

*Jaron Ennis is the WBA junior middleweight interim champions.

Fundora has ONE belt. Zayas has ONE. How exactly are they holding the belts hostage?

That said, Xander-Baraou is a fight that is actually happening. Boots-Vergil not there yet and doesn't seem like it will be next or even anytime soon.
