      Hahaha, guess we found out which 126 title Nonito will be gunning for.
      Lomachenko gets the Salido/Cruz winner, Nonito gets Walters

              Bob plans things so far ahead.
              The only reason he's fighting a tough Mexican opponent was so he'll be in the WBO top 15 ratings and thus making him eligible to challenge for the title.
              Donaire needs to get back in title contention and the WBA regular title is the only one he can get since the IBF is with Evendy and WBC will most likely get snatched up by GBP.

              Bob does this all the time.... it's no surprise.
              Why else would he sign this guy?
