Evidently Main Events made an offer to Top Rank for this fight.
Top rank could always turn it down, but who know.

I was just wondering about Mikhaylenko earlier... if this fight happens he grinds Zewski down

Zewski is a Canadaian so guess that makes sense but he'd get smashed worse than he did against Ponomoreev

Yea, but I don't see anything bigger for him if he does nothing. His biggest fight so far was on the U/C of a TruTV card.

Yea it was the day before May/Pac, but don't see much going on for him if him and management turn it down

Yeah there's nothing for him other than be an opponent for someone on the way up he's not very good ,so take the biggest money fight he can get

Hopefully it goes down. I love the way Mikhaylenko works the body, . I got "The Mechanic" by stoppage if it goes down.

I think both U/c slots, or if there's only one U/C fight, will have ME fighters. I think Stevens might get the call

I thought they were talking Stevens/Lemieux for February/March?

Isn't Magomedov going to be on the undercard? Just put him in with St Juste.

If TR is going to get Zewski beat again, they can do it vs one of their guys they're trying to build up. He'd be an easy look-good win for Vargas or Crawford's 147 debut, or Rios' retirement fight.

No, Magomedov is fighting on HBOL next month and last I heard from Stevens/Lemeiux, he wants a main event slot.

As for Zewski, not like he does anything for TR's up and comers, so he's no better off than some other WW with a decent record IMO.

That's what I heard as well. Lemeiux sells a lot of tickets in Montreal and (reasonably, IMO) doesn't want to fight on someone else's undercard. I do hope Stevens/Lemeiux happens, would be a fun fight.
