I'm glad Beltran's getting this chance, because he did get screwed bad against Burns.

[Divine Hammer]

is this for the ring belt as well? crawford ranked #1 and beltran ranked #2.

My thoughts exactly. Crawford asked to fight Beltran and had top rank send over the contract immediately, love it when fighters recognize what he just said..

Excited to see this tonight.
