So apparently Segura vs Gonzalez may be in the works, again.

    See, I don't judge based on network or TV platform. I can pick out exceptions from each. Simply calling out those who wanna pretend we didn't see dozens of good fights this year from the PBC platform. Plus, I want to see Roman in better fights. Been hyping him up on here when threads about him got three responses. So this is definitely disappointing.

      Same here, I know he's capable of putting a beating on better quality guys. Overall though, while there have been some good fights on both platforms, the majority of the events are uninspiring. Boxing has always been like that but this past year has had a plethora of mismatches of pointless fights. Pretty much every HBO fight has been star versus brutal knockout victim.

        Actually Mcwilliams beat Ruenrong even drop him once, but totally robbery, they don't even want a rematch.

          Better be a fake out. I was gonna rip WBC for not even following their own rules, but when I read it myself, there was a ridiculous rule that stated to stay in the top 15 rankings/maintain, they just have to fight another member in the top 15 every 18 months.....You can literally fight once every year and a half to maintain your WBC rankings.... not even win

          Segura's last win at 112 was in 2013....but since his last fight against a top 112 was in 2014, 15 months ago, he's still eligible to keep his #6 ranking.

          Yea, if this happens, I'm not gonna bother... horrible fight, not justifiable and nobody should watch it

            I was looking forward to Segura/Concepcion, would much rather see that. Can't Roman stay busy against McWilliams instead?

              kiaba, you have no idea how much I was looking forward to Concepcion vs Segura. Considering their skill level and their similar placement in the sport, I saw it as a fairly even shootout between two former lower weight sharks. Also, this would be Segura's second time around sitting out in hopes of landing a payday with Roman, I swear his situation reminds me of Khan's .

              Oh well, if he does get played for a second time it would serve him right. They did Concepcion dirty by pulling out of the fight in such short time. Luckily (or unfortunately, depending on how you see it) we might get Marquez vs Concepcion III out of this whole ordeal.

                  At the end of the day, I want to see the unification rematch against Estrada. The style matchup is just divinely inspired. And like Gonzalez was, Estrada is underrated plus a pleasure to watch. That has to happen this year.

                    Why not throw a few dollars at nietes to move up or tete to move down. The guys a skeleton I'm sure he could shed the three pounds. It's not like these guys are expensive. This fight is just terrible. HBO has had really terrible match ups for almost a full year.

                      Ruenroeng and Estrada are the only flyweights the "p4p king" should be considering for 2016.
                      Yeah, he should probably just retire instead of fighting great champions and still top ranked guys like Viloria and Segura, while waiting for the negotiations to fight Estrada etc again.

                      I mean, if you're got to take stay busy fights while management and promoters work out the bigger fights over time, why would you ever fight top ranked, former P4P level champions?

                      Should just give it in...the ****ing bum.
