The guy Yamanaka sparked out way back when?

I mean he's decent but again, struggles when he steps up.

Hmm so another non puncher on his resumé I wonder if he fears Manzanilla's difficult messy style and power.

He should've stuck with Manzanilla he's a credible opponent and a pretty good puncher. Makes me think...

Manzanilla dropped out. That's not Stevenson's fault.

So it went from Socarras to Manzanilla to Guevara, the same guy that lost to Hugo Ruiz. That fight bored both the commentators and the fans since it was so lopsided. This does nothing for Stevenson's resume. Manzanilla would have been a much better and dangerous opponent or even Socarras. Another pointless main event by Top Rank. I won't be surprised if ESPN cuts ties at the pace their ratings been declining

What's the reason Manzanilla dropped out? Money? Injury?

Lol 2 pullouts already smh...

Oh guess he doesnt want to move up weight then or is injured whatever the case is it's a sh.it one for Stevenson this fight will be pointless now

Already have tickets so going either way. This happens often in boxing. I was supposed to see Andrade/Saunders and wound up with Walter K. This card has some young prospects including Joseph "blessed hands" Adorno. I love attending the fights so it is what it is!
