Comments Thread For: Dib Possibly Off Cotto-Trout Due To Background Fire

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

BoxingScene.com was advised by several sources who are close to the situation, that IBF featherweight champion Billy Dib (35-1, 21KOs) is potentially being replaced as the opponent for undefeated contender Jayson Velez (19-0, 14KOs).

The fight was being targeted for December 1 at New York's Madison Square Garden, but there are several issues going on in the background. The event is being headlined by a Showtime televised junior middleweight collision between former three division king Miguel Cotto and WBA "regular" 154-pound champion Austin Trout.

Velez did nothing to earn the shot except get dominated by Jose Beranza in a fight Beranza was robbed by blind judges.

i guess 50 is not as powerful as he thinks he is

dont bite the hand that feeds you. Now SMS will have to put him on another TR undercard

[Fighting_Pride]

i can smell sweet revenge from GB promotions. they probably just wanna look good for mayweather so that he can fight alvarez this may 2013 which is GB promotions main cash cow. too bad, don't know how 50 can recover if all his money is invested in SMS promotions.

'm surprised tht thre aren't 50 posts denouncing Bob Arum.

Why not, he's handy to blame for everything-including the weather.......

Yup. 50 burned a lot of bridges. Unfortunately its the fighters that will suffer from all of this.
