    This whole situation is funny, it's like Top Rank got loaded with more ammo.

      A piece that has just entered the equation is Terence Crawford. I think he's capable of beating guys like Lundy and Soto, so Arum should get up on that. Crawford/Lundy and Allakhverdiev/Soto or Aydin on the same card.

        Really fan friendly fight so far, although no one expected Bradley-Provodnikov to end up like that.

          Might aswell keep matching these fighters together over and over, i think thats as good as it gets until Arum does a Don King and becomes irrelevent.

              Arum is a beast. All the top fights are on HBO and with Top Rank!

                Ruslan Provodnikov IS NOT a Top Rank fighter. He is a Banner Promotions fighter, Art Pelullo promotes him NOT Bob Arum. That said I think Crawford is the real find. Never heard of the kid coming out of Omaha but man was he impressive. Interesting to see if TR promotes him as the anti-Broner in the 135-140 weights.

                  I wouldn't mind Provodnikov vs Lucky Boy or Jesse Vargas

                    Oh dang, really? Whoops.... I think he'll try and still make it off with him though... if not... I'd say he'd put Vargas in there for name value.
                    Crawford is a find though, really impressed with his fight last Saturday

                    Arum's old, he'll die before that happens

                      Arum produced another star last week in Alvarado, aside from Provodnikov. And I think Vargas is gaining momentum.
