Haha...nice comeback Zurdo!

Wouldn't wannabe Jai's sparring partner after he reads that...

[Smash]

jai gilberto soap opera

somebody is not keen

its a good fight but maybe not as interesting as v beter or bivol

can someone even come back from cruiser to LH idk sounds dangerous

[A.B Counterhooks]

Cant really complain as it is one intriguing matchup for Cinco de Mayo but at same time sucks for Jai too lol, well he'll need to wait bit longer so may as well fight somebody with a pulse in the meantime, bro has made his way to the top of the cw division fighting no hopers. Both Zurdo and Benny would be clear step up in competition for Opetaia

how much muscle do you think Fit Dave adds for cruiser if at all

we know Fit Dave walks around at 205

I’m not sure this guy will still be able to 175 if Fit Dave becomes 215+

maybe 5 extra pounds muscles so 210 Fit Dave

lol if Fat Dave beats Fat Gilbert

then immediately goes down to 175 for Top Soviet Bivol

watch the most ducked title go to Parker’s Cousin Buff Guy Jai

This article finally makes it clear. In the past I have read many posts here claiming that Opetaia is ducking Zurdo, using some sort of biased, convoluted logic of their respective resumes i.e. Zurdo has fought many more notable opponents while Opetaia is fighting nobodies, therefore Opetaia is guilty and avoiding this fight. At the same time Opetaia was screaming his head off demanding this unification and Zurdo was mainly being either quiet or non-commital.

Finally we see that Zurdo is lukewarm to the idea and does not like the idea of loosing his belts to Jai - claiming he does not know who Opetaia is. This is as ridiculous as excuses get and I would say, he is running scared and using these BS excuses to delay it as long as possible and make as much money as possible until he eventually has to face Jai in the ring.

Cant blame Fat Gilbert

whoop Fat Dave on Cinco De Mayo and Fat Gilbert becomes the next main Mexican star

can fight Jai after

Buff Guy Jai is a big boy

his first title ever was a domestic heavyweight belt

I reckon Buff Guy Jai walks around at 230

well benny is about 190 in the ring now & zurdo im going to guess is about 220, thats a big difference

zurdo has had plenty of time to grow into cruiser so benny must be confident that he is quite a bit better than zurdo and will overcome this difference, benny is definitely a better boxer than zurdo

if benny plans on hitting 175 again then i dont think he can put on much muscle and safely come back down again, i dont really know how hes going to handle it, depends on if he sees himself back at 175 i guess

in post fight presser Fit Dave confirmed he's open to heading back down to 175 for Top Soviet Bivol or Artur

175 is where the money fights are Top Soviet Bivol Saul
