This fight will either make or break Langford

So I guess this proves that if Golovkin gets past Jacobs he will next face Saunders in Kazakhstan. Khurtsidze must have been offered good money to step aside for this fight. All this time I had thought it was Murata who was going to get a shot at the WBO title, I guess he has a lot of waiting to do now.

I feel real sorry for TL. He has a great chance to win a Lonsdale belt outright & challenge for the EBU title, but FW feeds him this B/S bauble!

War white Tyson!!!

Interim? Saunders is healthy and just fought. WTF Wbo? Stop messing up boxing. If Khurtside got step aside money that money is to step ASIDE and WAIT, not to go get a fake belt. And the fight sounds like a joke Khurtside vs a guy with 18 fights and 6 kos? How will Langford keep Khurtside off him? Should have been Murata.

The Warren-WBO partnership as strong as ever.

Khurt will surely steamroll this kid, but if Langford does come through I'd be very impressed, especially as he doesn't have much power to hold him off. Just seems like Khurtsidze is bad matchup for an undefeated, untested prospect. It's like going from a paddling pool to shark infested waters.

What happened to Cunningham?

I will be very very surprised if Langford wins this, but considering his high ranking with the WBO these are the sort of opponents he has to face to justify that
