[MisanthropicNY]

So Wlad gets to KO two hype jobs back to back

[MisanthropicNY]

Yes, good news. a Cuban heavyweight with high Boxing IQ. will be a good match with Joshua.

LOL @ high boxing IQ... Do you really believe your own BS? Wlad's boxing IQ is light years ahead of Joshua and the fatso.

Yeah all the best heavyweights all fight each other, meanwhile Wilder is facing some guy who's name you can't pronounce. As usual. BUMSQUAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

45 year old Shannon Briggs vs. 43 year old Fres Oquendo for the WBA "regular" heavyweight title. One of these geriatrics will actually be able to call themselves a heavyweight champion after that fight. Smh.

2017 is shaping up to be a good year for HW boxing.

[sammybee]

Ortiz will be too much for Joshua because he can take a punch and equally punch as well... By the way, why should WBA match Oquendo, who hasn't fought for over two years against Briggs?... Are they falling short of heavyweight boxers?

[Bronx2245]

WOW! The WBA finally did something the right way!

Looks like the Let's Go Champ show will roll on through 2017.

What can be compared to this? Anything? Holmes/Butterbean?

At least there is now a plan. They should just scrap the regular title like they said they would. No need for it now. Ortiz is the mandatory with Briggs & Oquendo fighting it out in an elimator with winner fighting ustinov for the next mandatory spot. They should throw the whyte/stiverne & briggs/oquendo eliminators on the klitschko/joshua undercard. If they do that then later in the year we could get joshua/klischko winner vs ortiz with briggs/oquendo winner vs ustinov on undercard but can warren & hearn work together? I think ustinov is promoted by warren or at least co promoted.
