    How was Postol? Heard he was a pretty decent operator. Think the cards were all 8-4

      HBO possibly building a Provo opponent. Sans Alvarado, Golden Boy have #1-#7 covered in the JWW rankings.

      Top Rank have already had one loss to Provo and have chickened out of putting Rios in with him. They're unlikely to risk Vargas.

        He looked average, I was not impressed. Lundy is a good fighter though and it was a step up in class for Postol.

        Postol-Aydin belongs on ESPN FNF.

          They need more viable guys in and around that class, and those are their options.

          They need guys for Ruslan, outside of Top Rank since Top Rank doesn't want to risk certain guys against him

              Maybe, but Postol won't give the entertaining fight they want... same as Dulorme/Mayfield.

              Aydin might, but he's already been shown to be pretty garbage....but could make for an entertaining beatdown

                HBO is trying to lure Mayweather back by offering him opponent that that beat Aydin.

                  HBO can't broadcasting the next fight of the winner of this boit because next fight would be danny garcia or mattysshe both with showtime

                    Perhaps, and HBO does seem to have a habit of currently building guys for Showtime to use.

                    I am that is not HBO's plan though lol

                      If anything, they'll try and set it up so Pac is unified down there.

                      Pac will challenge Provo for his 140 belt then unify with Vargas for WBO/WBA unification.
