If Rohan gots any promotional connection with Arum or Duco Ramirez better be careful going to Aussieland.

I'm disappointed that Gilberto has yet to unify at 168, and that the winner of that unification has yet to face GGG at 168, like should have happened years ago. Canelo isn't just holding up 160, he is holding up 168 as well! [/B]

F#ck 168. GGG or anyone else at 160 right now enhance there legacy + paydays by staying at 160 for the next couple years. 160 is looking sexy these days finally.

168 at GGG's age will be where he goes to become a two division champ and to exhaust his remaining paydays vs young lions trying to build up there own name.

Zurdo ducked World Boxing Super Series. "Bob Arum Doe".

I'd loved to have seen Zurdo enter WBSS but the fact that the WBSS failed to secure an adequate U.S tv deal, left the door open for top U.S based fighters not to join. I don't believe Zurdo ducked the WBSS, I just think the team around him felt he wouldn't get enough exposure in a tournament that has little presence in the USA.

Fairly weak Division and Ramirez will take no chances whatsoever against a quality opponent if Jesse Hart was the mandatory that tells you a lot just about the division...

Rohan sucks so much the NSAC wouldn't sanction a fight between him and Ward.

That's what Arum is shooting for at the end of 2018 for Zurdo. A fight with a bum. That's the fight he's building towards.

Naw Jesse Hart is good. He'd be a problem for any1 in the division. People just trying to take that win from Zurdo. That Rohan dude isnt all that but Hart is a guy most typically avoid, tall, lanky, & rangy...

how did Australia suddenly become the mecca of boxing?

Boxing is huge in australia, and since they are all the way on the other side of the world when a global superstar like manny pacquiao goes over there or when a domestic fighter like jeff horn or anthony mundine get global fame its a pretty big deal to them. Thats why the australian government paid a huge licensing fee for the pacquiao horn fight they're trying to shine some light on the geographically isolated country.

With that being said it kind of sucks for zurdo hes fighting ina somewhat weak division. 160 is stacked but he would be rail thin to try to move down and i don't think he's ready to move up and face the top guys at 175 like kovalev or stevenson. Hee should work on cleaning out 168 and unifying and then hopefully get a big fight with ggg if he ever moves up or maybe another top middleweight will move up or fight him at a catchweight. Zurdo is an excellent fighter and he's with the best promoter in the business and hes still young and hes mexican which means a lot in terms of marketability so i think big things are on the horizon

Zurdo vs Cox and Yildirim in 2018! Then Rohan!

I heard team Ramirez and team Horn are already working on the catchweight.
