This weekend is how boxing should be...

I agree fullyHow great was boxing this weekend? And it all came down to fighters, promoters and TV taking risks.
Skeete, with high world rating and backing of big promoter - takes risks and fights highly touted undefeated Spaniard on the road with great, hostile crowd.
Sulecki gives up easier eliminatory fight at 154 to gamble against one of the best most talented fighters in the world - With Jacobs also actively pursuing the toughest opponents to prove himself(Now aiming Charlo, badass).
Magdaleno is forced into mandatory fight with young phenom, who also is bold as **** and takes a big risk at very early age - instead of waiting and knocking over scrubs until easy vacant title arrives..
Might add Marrero and Lara, Josesito and Cruz putting it all on the line in cross-roads fights...
Great advertisement for the sport imo and reminder why we love it.. We need more of that and less of overhyped mismatches promoted based on guys clowning at the press conferences (*cough*LoGreco*cough*).
When fighters take risks, there's just no sport like boxing
