Ugh, to be expected...

Wasn't someone like, I dunno, Korobov available?

Wow this is looks like a real career defining fight for Saunders, after the fight he is gonna do a Canelo act and say GGG is running from me as I he should defend in December against me knowing full well he is fighting Jacobs.

you guys do realize that Akavov is ranked higher than Curtis Stevens, Willie Monroe Jnr, and Dominic Wade..... right?

he is also ranked just below Rosado, who Golovkin also fought

or..... do we no longer use shoddy rankings to defend the selection of underwhelming opponents?

at least Akavov is a middleweight LMAO

[aboutfkntime]

at least Akavov is a middleweight

If Vargas somehow beats Pac, who will select him next..... GGG or Canelo ?

[Chrismart]

Seen a couple of guys predict this one a while back.

Crazy to think this is his first fight since Andy Lee.
