One of my favorite prospects, needs to shine here, wasn't particularly impressed with his performance against Hyland, especially in the late rounds.

How the hell did he go from HBO PPV to FNF? Lame ****... I guess you have to be an HBO baby or a gatekeeper like Berto to be able to get dates on there. They should talk to Showtime, they'll pick him up.

Not to mention this dude is a step down from Yundale Evans and Hyland. Hell, even a step down from Cristobal Cruz.

Me too, Fortuna is a big puncher just like Russell. It's a toss up fight

So he gets an easy first interim defense, that's not unreasonable, he had a tough streak. The only way this gets shown on HBO is if he signs with Haymon. Or GBP, if Showtime is the target.

If Fortuna was with Al Haymon he would be on HBO and already would of had 6 fights on the network and people will be talking about him as if he is the next P4P king.

It's good for Fortuna, he needs as much exposure as he can get since he's not well known. Being on ESPN for now is probably best for him, he isn't ready for the big stage yet as for as being on HBO and the likes..

Haha, yeah as if Thurman, Mayfield and the other Haymon fighters deserve to be on there with the guys they get matched up with.
