Koivula might win this

Nah. Dude already lost by KO to a 90 yr old Leonard Bundu four years ago. Granted, Bundu is a pretty tough old SOB, but Koivula has no weapons to threaten even an old, busted Maravilla. Sergio by mid-late KO.

Also Ricky Hatton. I get fighters want to fight the best, but where is the management team that should be advising these guys on whats the best route back.

They're scrolling on NSB, seeing people criticize certain guys for taking soft touches and praising other guys for the same thing. They just leave it to the fighter.

I remember when Spence / Danny was first announced people praised Spence for the risk, not too much but definitely not a soft touch, while others say Danny is a loser that isn't a top fighter and Spence should fight Crawford.

Those same people praise every opponent Crawford has chosen at 147 despite none of them being top guys. Then they see everyone calling him #1 P4P and think, "OK, so I can fight soft touches to eventually be #1 P4P too, cool".

When you have that kind of hypocrisy it's hard to get a pulse. That's why fighters should just ignore fans and strive for greatness their own way.
