        Yes, the smart money bet would say you are wrong.

        Sor Rungvisai starched Roman at Superfly in September but it happens to the best of Champions.

        Chocolatito will be Champion again.

          he's been found out,he may be a world champ again but i doubt he gets to the position he was before as p4p no 1..I'd be surprised if he makes it to the top 15 p4p at this point but he could very well be a world champ once more

            WBA 'regular' middleweight champion Ryota Murata and 'Superfeathweight champion Kenichi Ogawa ( who robbed the American Tevin Farmer) have left to Okinawa for training camp ; Ryota is preparing to make his first defense and the IBF may mandate Ogawa vs. Farmer in a rematch, so there are potential dates for RG to participate on the undercard of a couple Teiken/K2 shows this spring

            -- I was thinking Nery-Yamanaka II. but it looks stacked with Ryosuke Iwasa vs. Ernesto Saulong as the co-feature. Also looking at the rankings now that Inoue vacated to move up to 118, I was surprised the WBO do not have 'Chocolatito' ranked as a top ten nor does the IBF ; Gonzalez is top 1-3 for the WBA-WBC so he should be at the very least fighting in a eliminator by the end of this year.

              Does not work for everyone but sometimes a fresh start does wonders.

                  I think Eddie Hearn could add a rematch clause and low ball Gonzalez -- Mismatchroom probably would not be able to do that to Inoue. Passing on fighting a current prime P4P fighter in Nayoa was dumb, they had a built in excuse as Inoue was moving up anyways but a loss to 'Chocolatito' would wreck Yafai,

                  BUT I just remembered 'Slick' Eddie represents Ryan Burnet so thats a backup plan for Kalid...its starting to make sense.

                    Loeffler "low balled" Yafai, offering less money than his previous fight to fight Inoue ffs. Hearn more than any other other promoter would let his guys fight for another promoter as long as they aint taking the piss.

                    Gonzalez/Yafai is mutually beneficial. Gonzalez gets a crack at probably the weakest champion, Yafai gets a shot at still the big name, possibly on the slide, in the division. Definitely happens, Joshua/Wilder chief support maybe.
