That's what's wrong with boxing... all those tough fighters, contenders to chose from - and then Brant signs big deal and promoters brings him basic, volnurable opponent so that He can win and look good.

Baysangurov went life and death with Guido Pitto. Not a world class fighter.

What? Brant is a nobody who just won the title in a massive upset. Taking a voluntary fight against an undefeated fighter, even if the guys resume is nothing, is a risky move considering he's going to make peanuts and is risking future paydays.

Would you rather Brant sat on his ass and waited to sell his title to the highest bidder? Nah, he's taking a decent fight to try and build his brand and get his name out there.

Was hoping Brant would fought Tyler Howard. Would a been good and Tyler would win that fight imo
