The robbery by Ogawa was the end of a 15 win streak. I still don't know how you thought he looked awful in the Ogawa fight! I thought he boxed Ogawa's ears off, and if Ogawa wasn't on PEDs, maybe he gets the stoppage! Farmer would be a much better test for Davis than Cuellar!

Assuming lomachenco beats linares... Davis will be easy work for him.Comment

I agree that Farmer was ripped off that night, but I've not heard anything about Ogawa being on PEDs?I thought he clearly beat Ogawa! He should be the IBF Super Featherweight Champion of the world!
"Folks, we may have had a real robbery tonight! Kencihi Ogawa put up a valiant effort in his vacant title fight against Tevin Farmer, but seemed to be outclassed over 12 rounds. Farmer showed off his flashy, defensive style but also went on offense for good portions of the fight too — landing his left hand early and often.
I ended up scoring the fight 117-111 in favor of the slick Tevin Farmer, but the judges came back with official scores of 116-112, 112-116, and 115-113 for an Ogawa split decision win. With the win Ogawa takes the vacant IBF junior lightweight title."
Not to mention he schooled Ogawa while Ogawa was on PEDs!Comment

January 18, 2018:
"In a urine test conducted a few days before the fight -- but whose results were not returned until after the fight -- Ogawa was positive for two forms of androstanediol (synthetic testosterone) and he was suspended on Thursday at the Nevada State Athletic Commission's first meeting of 2018, the first time details of his positive test were made public.
Ogawa's postfight drug test was negative, but the A sample and B sample of his prefight test days earlier were both positive."

I still don't know what the IBF is going to do. I know the NSAC suspended Ogawa:
April 5, 2018:
"Be advised that No. 3 Billy Dib and No. 4 Tevin Farmer are the two highest-ranked available contenders in the IBF junior lightweight division and have indicated a willingness to participate in this interim title fight," the IBF wrote to representatives of Manny Pacquiao's MP Promotions, which represents Dib, and Lou DiBella, who promotes Farmer. "In an effort to determine who the interim champion will be, the IBF is ordering that a bout should be held between Dib and Farmer for the interim title. The winner will be the interim champion and must fight IBF junior lightweight champion Kenichi Ogawa as soon as he is able to defend the title."

Why does the winner have to fight Ogawa? He's a cheat, so he should be stripped and have to EARN a title shot just like everybody else!Comment

I'm not sure they have changed the decision to a "no contest" yet.
March 13, 2018:
Kenichi Ogawa’s disciplinary hearing related to his positive performance-enhancing drug test was delayed yet again Tuesday by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
Ogawa’s case was on the agenda for the NSAC’s regularly scheduled monthly meeting Tuesday in Las Vegas. Anthony Marnell, the NSAC’s chairman, announced at the start of the meeting that Ogawa’s hearing would be pushed back to the NSAC’s meeting next month, on an undetermined date.
The NSAC revealed during its January 18 meeting that it suspended Ogawa because he tested positive for synthetic testosterone following his controversial split-decision victory over Tevin Farmer in their IBF 130-pound championship match December 9 in Las Vegas. Ogawa’s disciplinary hearing first was scheduled for the NSAC’s meeting February 14, but it was postponed that day until Tuesday.
A second postponement means Farmer will have to wait at least another month to learn how to proceed with his stalled career. If Ogawa’s suspension is upheld and the result of their 12-round fight is changed to a no-contest, the IBF either could order a rematch or strip Ogawa and have Farmer face another fighter for its vacant 130-pound title.

It it true that Tank was boning Mayweather's daughter? Certainly makes sense nowI'm sure you know that they both have fights coming up and that they are 3 weeks apart. Word on the boxing street is that Tank and Mayweather are beefing and floyd announced during an interview on live tv (during Hurd v Lara) that he was going to make Loma vs Davis.
People are saying that it's a "throw'em to the wolves" type of fight for biting the hand that feeds you kinda deal. Tank didn't have a clue about this until he watched it on tv and immediately got on twitter and responded with a bunch of "
"
Then Mayweather hangs around the charlo brother that Tank is/was beefing with that same night which was another slap in the face. It's a win win for Floyd because if by some miracle tank were to beat loma then that would be huge for TMT and more money for floyd and if he loses which most would expect then Mayweather's throwing him to the wolves strategy pays off. I'm not sure how much longer Davis will be with TMT.Comment
