Comments Thread For: Manager: Salamov, Vlasov Both Want WBO Light Heavyweight Title Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The knockout performance delivered by Eleider Alvarez over the weekend was a fitting launch to what he hopes will be shot at a second light heavyweight title reign. However, the question remains whether it will shake up the ratings enough to get him to that point. Alvarez-a 35-year old Colombian now based out of Montreal, Canada-returned to the win column with a highlight reel 7th round knockout of Michael Seals last Saturday in Verona, New York. The now-viral moment aired live on ESPN, which one week prior served as the network host to Joe Smith Jr's 10-round win over Jesse Hart in a battle of former title challengers.

Ramirez and Salamov should face each other but I understand him a little. By keeping it home (guys from Russia) there would be no controversial scoring, whereas if Salamov faces Ramirez their teams would want to have soil advantages by staging the fight either Russia or the US (most likely going to purse bid).

Vlasov way too low in the rankings to get a title shot. It'd be unfair.

If Arum wants it this is how he plays it. Low balls the champ Rameriz, matches Alvarez against a lower ranked opponent. Then the WBO has no choice but to make the Russians fight for the vacant title. It sucks for Rameriz but, I'm not sure what the hell is going on with him and it's disappointing! I can only guess marriage is not best for his career. Then again TR hasn't been too supportive of their champ either. Wish everything would get right as far as Zurdo is concerned..
