Comments Thread For: Miguel Berchelt to defend WBC title vs. Jason Sosa on Nov. 2 in LA

[Ajvar]

Poor Sosa, doesn't have a chance.. I like the guy, and I know he's broke, but Arum just feeding him to the lion. Bit sad.

I haven't tested this cartoonish e.points before but i'd like to "bet" those for this fight. If Sosa looses with majority decision or does even better - then i win. If worse - then I loose. If no contest - then no contest.

Deal? No real money, I never bet those with private citizens, just this points whatever those means.

Well, Davis ran away and never even mentioned his name while at 130, Farmer doesn't want to fight anyone with a pulse, and Valdez just moved up from 126. Got to stay busy.

If anyone's running it's Berchelt. He didn't want to unify against Herring and their both with Top Rank.

Terrible Terrible fight. Top Rank matchmaking is beyond laughable. Laughable is a step up from the nonsense of this fight.

Berchelt is a proven champ with enough gimme fights. Time to challenge the young man and make him defend that title for real.

Berchelt is asking for the fights. You don't think he wants to make money?

Have you seen Tank's last few opponents? How about Charlo?

Not a terrible fight to be honest. Sosa comes to fight. He is far from elite, but a decent fighter with some pop. Not like it is impossible to hit Berchelt or anything.

So this fight goes up against the Nelo fight?

This is a decent tune up before he gets a big money fight against Valdez. Sosa is a fringe contender but the only guys ranked above him on BoxRec are guys who lost to Berchelt or are affiliated with different networks and not immediately available. I would've loved to see him take Herring's belt but that fight just isn't all that appealing right now because of Herring's style and lack of drawing power.

leave my name out of the bull*****. Don’t use my name to try to defend this. Berchelt went on a rant telling me he had a BIG fight coming up, we all thought it would be against Valdez as planned, and we got this. You mean to tell me this is a bigger fight than a unification, or all out war against another Mexican star? Cut it out.

Berchelt probably did believe the Valdez fight was next. Valdez' manager is the one who didn't want to go directly into a fight with Berchelt and decided to take a tune up in November. Since Valdez is the bigger name his side has the final say on when the fight will take place.

Berchelt vs. Valdez is probably the biggest fight that can be made in the division because there'll be a lot of money from Mexican TV. I don't see how unifying with you benefits him in any significant way. The biggest win on your resume is against Ito. Sosa is at least known for fighting Loma and being robbed against Gamboa. It's a good tune up for him.

Good to see a champ posting here, hope you get a big fight soon if not Berchelt then somebody else

Regardless of what you may say or believe, a unification would’ve given us both career high paydays. Now again, you mean think this fight benefits him in any way? Not too mention he’s going head to head with Canelo the same night in terms of draw. Quit making excuses, and on another note I get my sources DIRECTLY from the same people who promote us both. Stick to blogging because the boxing business isn’t your strongest note.
