LOS ANGELES -- Karim "Hard Hitta" Mayfield makes his Top Rank debut Saturday against Christopher Ferndandez in an off-TV bout.

But if Mayfield (17-0-1, 10 KOs) is impressive, he'll be in line for a title shot against WBA junior welterweight beltholder Khabib Allakhverdiev this fall on HBO, per a source close to Mayfield.

I've been hearing Khabib-Mayfield for quite some time now. Great news.... Hopefully the winner of that gets a Rios/Alvarado fight.

WBA regular title counts now as a legit World Championship according to the WBA, for example Povetkin, Rios, Maidana, Quigg and of course Khabib Allakhverdiev will go down in the history books as former World champions. I'm not sure that its a good thing the WBA have 2 Legit Champions at each weight but that's another topic.

Back on topic but Khabib vs Mayfield is a great match up that i hope gets made, good action in that fight and would be fun to see.

Good card in December, Rigondeaux-Agbeko and Mayfield-Khabib.
