Took 'em long enough! Now strip GGG! Hopefully Farmer wrecks Billy Dib, and becomes the IBF Super Featherweight Champion of the World!

Yup this is exactly the case. Ridicioulous. You can name almost nobody on the top level who fights in less than a 6 month time frame. Its a free pass to use PED to me.
