Comments Thread For: Ryan Burnett-Yonfrez Parejo Added to Joshua-Parker Undercard

The WBSS is the only way to end this constant bull*****

Eddie Hearn is getting on my nerves with his World Champions lately. First Yafai ducking Inoue and now Burnett dropping the IBF.

I read that the offer to fight inoue was not much higher than yafai would earn for fighting some fringe dude at home.

I want to see Yafai and Inoue fighting, but I can understand why he didnt take the risk of a beatdown if there is no incentive for him.

disappointed that he vacated so soon after unifying

Yea Eddie Hearn said the offer was poor.

As a fan, you want to see unificaitions. Yes they should be well paid but we all know Yafai will be taking a step back and fighting Charlie Edwards next.

Economics in boxing is a headache.
I hope the wbss makes good money for all parties involved and continues to do their thing. Big money = unifications possible.

Yafais career has been lukewarm so far. I don't think he has headlined a card yet and without his belt he is probably not worth much. He is in a lower weight class and doesn't have an exciting style.

So he has to make the decision to fight for let's say 150k to fight against a random Mexican or Japanese journey man and repeat this two or three times a year.

Or fight for 160k to get in with on inoue, which he has a 20% chance if winning. Upside? Bigger fights against rungvisai or Gonzalez. Downside? No title, no name, much less money.

Yea agree with all of the above (Green K sent)

I think Yafai is the weakest of the World Champions too and that's why he's being protected.

Really looking forward to WBSS announcing the next weight class in June.

Rodriguez - Butler next then.

[1hourRun]

Ryan Burnett! you are ****ing coward! this is the reason why I hate euro-bums! HYPE-JOBS from the UK! I told you all this chicken was going to duck Emmanuel Rodriguez! but I'm a bitter YANKEE?! time and time again these frauds from Europe prove me right!

Nothing like good O'L AMERICAN BOXING!

[chico malo ali]

how does parejo keep getting title shots?

[Shams627]

They wanted no part of Rodriguez - which is why they pushed for quick unification anyway. Not big deal, I guess Rodriguez preferred easier touch for vacant title himself.

I heard WBSS is rumoured at 118... so eventually Burnett might get a chance to win the belt back, as well as the other two.

I hope it’s not 118. It’s not an exciting division.

I don't know men - I think it's in somewhat transition phase, but I think it's going to get very heated very quickly - with amazing group of young stand-outs.
I think it's a lot like 154 was before J-Rock and Hammer Lubin got a bit exposed - and Jermall, Canelo as well Andrade moved up.

There's a group of prime, young fighters with amaizng skills and athlethicism.
- Zolani Tete
- Naoya Inoue
- Emmanuel Rodriguez
- Luis Nery
- Ryan Burnett

Some tough veterans too:
- Zhanat Zhakiyanov
- Juan Carlos Payano
- Karim Guerfi

Couple interesting fighters who would be interesting wild-cards:
- Takuma Inoue
- Nordine Oubaali
- Mikhail Aloyan

There are some very big Super Flyweights who could easily move up:
- Jerwin Ancajas
- Srisaket
- Kal Yafai


To me it's maybe the best division for it next year - It would have great international flavour - as you could stage fights on all continents really.
I'd love it.

It’s a bit better than I thought it was. The suggestion of certain fighters moving up from 112 is a stretch. You’ve seen that size matters at a point with Chocolatito, same would happen with others. Problem is, would they all sign up for the tournament. The money is great but some fighters can’t fight that often. Also, the interest in smaller weight classes is improving but it is still not great. I think it’s better to analyse the situation fully after the first season ends.
