Comments Thread For: Gvozdyk vs. Amar For WBC Interim-Title on March 17, ESPN

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

So what's the latest with light heavyweight contender Oleksandr Gvozdyk, who was scheduled to face Elieder Alvarez for the right to face the winner of the bout between WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson and former super middleweight titlist, Badou Jack?

Damn top rank is really changing the game!

Still doesn't explain where this leaves Alvarez. I'm guessing he'll face Stevenson as a voluntary challenger.

As for Arum "stacking the card" on March. 17, that's a total joke. His version of stacking is put his top guns against no hopers. Outside of Ramirez vs. Imam, the rest of the fights will be lop-sided beat downs.

[Boxing Logic]

So is Arum saying Stevenson-Jack wont even happen now? Oh PBC... never change... never change... that was one of the only good fights coming up on Showtime, and Badou Jack's whole rationale for ducking Bivol and dropping the WBA... if they're not making that fight, they should have just made Stevenson-Gvozdyk immediately. Alvarez lost his spot when he stepped aside and then ducked Gvozdyk.

I believe it will happen in April.

lol

The WBC jumped over Marcus Browne, Joe Smith Jr, Karo Murat, Blake Capparela, Isaac Chilemba, and Thomas Oosthuizen to get to Mehdi Amar, a guy that no one had heard of, was checking for, or will be heard of after this fight.

[Ajvar]

Haven't Gvozdyck already ate Chilemba for breakfast? WBC wants Gvozdyk to become mandatory officially so yeah, they put easy opponent.

[BigZ44]

Oh god, Amar is barely Euro level. Gvozdyk by baptism

[MrShakeAndBake]

The Nail deserves to get that green strap. Alvarez can get his usual step aside cash, he is used to it

lmao your too funny. U know as well as I do Marcus Browne and Haymon already turned down the Gvozdyk fight. And joe smith said he wants a tune up after breaking his jaw.

Haymon already ducked Gvozdyk with both alvarez and Browne
