Comments Thread For: Roman Gonzalez-Giovanni Segura in The Works For 3/5

[Psylence83]

3 straight past-prime opponents for Gonzalez on HBO. Why not Estrada II, Ruenroeng, Nietes, or Inoue?

Ones up, ones down, other has a rematch and the other will be later this year

Pray for Segura

[ShoulderRoll]

HBO is using the Golovkin strategy. Have a fighter look spectacular by crushing tomato cans.

It's like when WWE used to have their stars in squash matches against a jobber.

Giovanni Segura = Iron Mike Sharpe.

Another has been 35 year old on the resume. Writers and fans will be like he tough doe, stop hating.

Is Segura even top 10?

[buddyguns]

Not the best looking fight by any means. But you can't blame Segura for jumping at a career payday. You also can't blame HBO after looking at the current WBC rankings.

1 .- Nawaphon Sor Rungvisai (Thai) ABCO
2 .- Noknoi Sitthiprasert (Thai)
3 .- Juan Carlos Reveco (Argentina)
4 .- Brian Viloria (US)
5 .- Edgar Sosa (Mexico)
6 .- Giovani Segura (Mexico)
7 .- Keyvin Lara (Nicaragua)
8 .- Thomas Masson (France) EBU
9 Kevin Satchell (GB) COMM / BBB C
10 .- Zou Shiming (China)
11 .- Yodmongkol Wor. Saengthep (Thai)
12 Froilan Saludar (Phil)
13 .- Takuya Kogawa (Japan)
14 .- Renz Rosia (Phil)
15 .- Renan Trongco (Phil)

None of these other guys were going to sell any better than Segura. Boxing business as usual.

I dont think anyone can beat Chocolatito in and around his weight class for a long time.

Alphabet rankings: Where some the worst fighters of a division could feel like they are top 10

Contrary to reports Segura "not being considered" as opponent for Roman Gonzalez's next fight, per source with knowledge of the plans



Dead it. Pound for pound kings go after the best.

We'll see, but if true then that's good

The source is probably Coppinger or Iole or Woodsy who're pissed at dan for taking their Breaking news and then he himself breaking it w/no credit

Either way with 2 months to go I'm not excited about who the opponent will be.
