This is how you clear bad mandatory fights out of the way. Lipinets is a credible opponent for Spence. If Abduk wins he becomes a credible opponentComment

What legal and health issues?Comment

That is a very solid fight and it just make sense with both #1 and #3
Still holding hopes out for Nery vs Inoue on that same Card if Nery takes care of business vs Manny Rodriguez on Saturday which is also a damn good fight. However, that is likely a Main Event on its on in JapanComment

They keep putting Soviet Block Fighters against each rather than against big name American Fighters, Bes***** will fight Butaev next week, Bes***** was #1 Contender for Keith Thurman's Title, But Bob Arum and Carl Moretti did not even try to make that fight, That would have been a good opportunity for Bes***** since Thurman was coming off a LONG Layoff, So Arum Puts Bes***** in a Very High Risk comparatively low reward fight instead, Now Lipinets VS AbduKakhrov instead of putting them against D. Garcia, K. Thurman, Porter, Vergil Ortiz etc. Instead, Slow Tracked Korobov. Arum and Moretti keep putting Soviet Block/East Europeans in High Risk fights against each other, rather than Higher Profile American opponent. They need to be fighting big names to get known by the public BEFORE they fight each other.Last edited by djb914; 11-21-2019, 05:10 PM.Comment

Thurman was super champion. WBA almost never makes them face mandatories. That's why he's fighting for the regular belt instead of facing Pacquiao. Pac won't ever be ordered to face Bes***** either.Comment

Muh Top Rank diet.
Sources: Caleb Plant’s first super middleweight title defense of 2020 will come against Alfredo Angulo, likely on Feb. 15. Plant scored a third-round TKO of Mike Lee in July, while Angulo edged Peter Quillin via decision in September
